What you need to know
Proper acclimation of wood flooring is achieved when the woods moisture content (MC) is at equilibrium with the average expected conditions of occupancy when the home is lived in. Leaving the wood at the job site for several days does not mean that it was properly acclimated. Wood delivered to a job-site and stored within an uncontrolled environment will acclimate to the moisture levels of that environment.
