Aphrodithe11 Mar 2020 15:34Today we noticed an unusual discoloration in our hardwood floor! It happened overnight. The underfloor heating was off since the house is not yet occupied. The hardwood has been installed for at least four months. I’d appreciate it if anyone has any ideas!
Good luck

No, it is still new and unoccupied, and last night we didn’t have much sun either. So nothing noticeable happened yesterday. The only difference is that the underfloor heating is off. Otherwise, there has been very little sun in the past few days.

@Aphrodithe:
It is very difficult to make an assessment based on the photos alone, especially since you don’t clearly specify which aspect we should focus on.
For example, in photo 1, there is an angled shading visible. Is that what you mean?
In photos 2 and 3, I can see a variety of distinct surface textures, both darker and lighter elements, laid next to each other across the floor area. Is that it?
Or perhaps some kind of whitening of the lively surface, which is also visible in the last mentioned photos?
As "Mycraft" put it, I also suspect that any changes, however they occurred, did not happen suddenly overnight but rather as a gradual development with an increasing tendency.
In this context, it might also be important to know which type of floorboard (manufacturer), which wood species, and what kind of surface coating was used, whether it was applied at the factory or on site, and whether the boards were glued down or installed as a floating floor.

Aphrodithe11 Mar 2020 16:32Hello KlaRa,
I’ll try to clarify the situation. It’s actually about the shadow-like lines that can be seen in all three pictures. They run relatively straight. Since we only had the handover last Thursday, I’m quite sure that this "dark area" wasn’t there before. The flooring is from the company Gunrebe and was installed as glued-down parquet. As I mentioned, the only difference is that we have switched off the underfloor heating because the house will remain unoccupied for another two months.
Thank you very much for the help!
