Will my hardwood floor change color after installation?

It’s natural for hardwood flooring to yellow, grow darker or even lighter over time, depending on the wood species. Exposure to direct sunlight, and some artificial lighting, accelerates this process. Moving furniture and rugs to different places on the floor occasionally will keep your floor well blended. Never leave your rugs in one place longer than 30 days or you might notice a discoloration in your wood where your rugs where left.
