        "text": "High humidity and direct water exposure in bathrooms can cause wood to warp, swell, crack, or promote mold growth, significantly reducing its lifespan and appearance. To prevent this, we use several strategies. First, selecting appropriate wood species or engineered wood products with inherent moisture resistance is crucial. Second, applying high-quality, water-resistant sealants or paints provides a protective barrier. Proper ventilation, such as exhaust fans, helps reduce ambient humidity. Finally, precise installation and sealing of joints ensure water cannot penetrate behind the finished surfaces, protecting the carpentry from hidden damage.",
