How do you stop hardwood floors from splitting?

Answer

If properly dried, hardwood floors should not be splitting at all. Generally one lets the material sit in the room in which it will be installed for a week or so prior to installation, allowing them to get used to the environment. I suppose you could try to humidify a really dry environment, but my guess is that the issue may be related to improper kiln drying in the first place.
