Hey everyone, I've noticed that my wood floors have started to widen, and they weren't like this before. Can anyone explain what's going on?

It sounds like your wood floors are likely reacting to changes in humidity. Wood can expand and contract with the moisture levels in the air, especially with the seasons. This could be the reason they appear wider now. It's pretty common for hardwood floors to shift like this!
When you say they’re 'widening', are you talking about gaps forming between the boards? That could happen if the wood is drying out or if the installation wasn't perfect. Some boards might not be flush anymore, which would definitely be noticeable. But yeah, changes in humidity could be a big player here!
Yes, exactly! I can see a gap now that wasn't there before. Thanks for the insight!
