Well, I'm gutted because we only has this 100% hardwood Woodpecker floor laid in the kitchen (stated on the box for kitchens and living rooms) by our fitter in early Summer and already it has warped twice!. There is always a little movement here and there but this end got so bad a few weeks after the job was finished the fitter came back and adjusted the ends to give more space and re aligned. It was like a springboard. As you can see by the kickboard and the piece of wood I have laid across it has started again. There is absolutely no water getting anywhere on it (there was a little initially before the first warping from the sink drainer which was identified and stopped)

I am hoping it will settle again as I think the humidity outside and time of year + cooking could be affecting it but why only this area ? The floor is concrete with the old lino on it left underneath (for extra cushioning and insulation) with new under floor matting before the wood was laid. It's just so depressing to have it start to go like this so soon, especially as we paid decent money to have it laid.

Best I can do is get the dehumidifier in there.
