Stability of Wood Print E-mail

DIMENSIONAL WOOD STABILITY


The numbers in the chart reflect the dimensional change coefficient for the various species, measured as tangential shrinkage or swelling within normal moisture content limits of 6-14 percent. Tangential change values will normally reflect changes in plainsawn wood. Quartersawn wood will usually be more dimensionally stable than plainsawn.
The dimensional change coefficient can be used to calculate expected shrinkage or swelling. In actual practice, however, change would be diminished in a complete floor, as the boards’ proximity to each other tends to restrain movement. What all this is really saying is that the lower the change coefficient, the less your floor will move and the less your floor moves, the better.

Although some tropical woods such as Australian cypress, Brazilian cherry, merbau and wenge appear in this chart to have excellent moisture stability compared to domestic oak, actual installations of many of these woods have demonstrated significant movement in use. To avoid problems later, extra care should be taken to inform potential users of these tendencies prior to purchase.
