A. Acclimation is allowing the new wood floorings moisture content to adjust to the new surroundings where it is to be installed. It is important to know the current moisture content as well as the temperature and humidity of the area in which the wood flooring is to be installed. Most contractors will allow the wood flooring to sit in the area for a short length of time just to be safe. An experienced flooring installer will know the intended moisture content of the new wood flooring and will not install until that requirement is met.
