installing solid wood floor. damp front door step

[jontwhale]

hi all.

I going to be installing solid wood flooring soon in my living room / hallway. the house has a concrete floor which is nice and dry and in good condition.
in the hall the front door step protrudes about 2 - 3" into the room. the hall is about 1ft above ground level.

The door step gets wet when we are doing anything which make the house humid, ie cooking, running a bath, drying clothes etc. it isnt a problem at the minute as the hall is tiled, but obviously it will cause problems with wood.

does anyone have ideas what i can do. im sure its just simple condensation as it only happens when its cold out.

Thanks in advance.
Jon

High quality door mat?

problem is that the step part is about 1 - 2" higher than the floor ?

Glue - if possible - a piece of wood on the riser. Or if I've got the wrong 'picture' of your problem: a picture would help
