        "text": "In Aurora and the broader Denver metro area, seasonal humidity swings can cause wood to expand in summer and contract during dry winter months. For wood wainscoting, materials should acclimate inside the heated home for several days before installation to minimize shrinking seams later. Alternatively, high-density MDF or engineered trim boards provide greater dimensional stability in dry indoor winter climates. Proper fastening directly into wall studs combined with flexible, paintable caulk ensures clean joints year-round.",
