Question:

why did my 1/2 in engineer floor change color near the walls?

Near the walls and the 2 doors my floor changed a little bit of color, it got a little bit darker, up to a foot from the walls and doors.What could have caused this and will it get worse?

Answer:

You probably have a wood that is uv sensitive, and the sun coming in the windows did this. Maple and Cherry are about the worst. Once it reaches a cretain point it will stop. THe best thing to do is refinish the floor, then put some tint on the windows that get the most sunlight as well as some thick window treatments.
Sunlight fades wood and carpet. This is most often from air getting under walls and poor circulation within the room itself.. GL
