Hi Forum members,
I am looking for your expert advice on a certain issue I've encountered with Mahogany flooring.
I have recently moved out of a beautiful condo with mahogany flooring. The condo is at sub-grade with sliding glass doors in the back, also at sub-grade. While performing the walk through with the landlord, he posed concerns that the floor was warped in a section of the floor in front of the one sliding glass door. There were no concerns of warping anywhere else in the condo.
Prior to the walk through, the landlord showed the condo to a prospective buyer/ renter and questioned why there was a smell in the condo. I told him the combination of me turning off the air conditioning because it was a cool week (high 60's/ low 70's) coupled with a lot of cooking that week was the cause of the smell.
From your experience in your field, would you please advise on whether a week of having the air conditioning off would cause any sort of lifetime damaging warping to occur to the mahogany flooring just in one specific area of the condo? (i.e. warping, to the extent that the affected boards would need to be replaced.
*I'm not sure whether or not there was a moisture test done prior to installation, and whether or not the floor is solid hardwood or engineered hardwood.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
