Floor Sentry—A Game Changer in Wood Floor Protection

Place one Floor Sentry device in the underside of a wood plank for every 1,000 square feet (92 square meters) of your customer’s flooring.

When you’ve installed high-end, customized flooring for a customer, what happens if the floor begins to cup due to moisture?

The customer might turn to you, expecting you to take financial responsibility for fixing it. And they assume the problem is due to your negligence during installation.

But what if you could put the responsibility in their hands before a problem ever happens?

That’s possible with Floor Sentry. Let’s learn how it works and how one flooring business has come to rely on it for high-end flooring projects.

How Floor Sentry Protects Your Hard Work

With Floor Sentry, a small temperature and humidity data logger installed on the underside of a floor plank, you empower your customers to keep track of their floor’s temperature and humidity levels. They’ll know exactly what’s going on with their floor and receive alerts when conditions go out of an acceptable range.

This way, they’ll be more aware of shifts in their home’s conditions that could affect the floor.

Wood naturally adjusts to the moisture content of its environment, so if a home experiences a major shift in temperature and humidity, the floor will follow suit. Cupping or warping might be the result.

Floor Sentry guards against that. It makes homeowners aware of the floor’s temperature and humidity so they can prevent those shifts. They’ll be taking full responsibility for their floor’s protection, meaning they won’t blame you if a problem occurs.

Could it really make a difference? Lucas Huffaker with Huffaker Flooring thinks so. Here’s his experience using Floor Sentry.

Why Floor Sentry Is Non-Negotiable for Huffaker Flooring

Lucas Huffaker is a flooring contractor with Huffaker Flooring in Boise, Idaho (USA). He has used the Orion 950 wood moisture meter for many years to make sure his wood floorboards are ready for installation. Now, he’s taken his work to the next level with Floor Sentry. In the past year, he has installed it in all his clients’ floors.

For his business, having a flooring data logger is a big deal. He calls it “a great insurance policy” since he’s installing high-end floors, sometimes costing $50,000 or more. Including one, two, or three Floor Sentry monitoring devices with each project is hardly a dent in the project’s total cost, and it gives him that added assurance that the floors are protected.

In his words, Floor Sentry is “a great way to protect that investment.”

He also appreciates how easy Floor Sentry is to use. The Wagner Sentry app syncs to the Floor Sentry device and allows monitoring of the conditions from a smartphone. His customers get instant alerts if temperature or humidity levels go out of range so that they can take corrective actions.

He adds, “It’s a system that works really well with how we do floors, and I like to be able to have that control and also monitoring capability after [installation].”
