Why is it so important to acclimate flooring materials to the room temperature of the area to be installed?
Flooring materials are subject to the same expansion and contraction due to changes in temperature. To install flooring product that has not been acclimated to the room conditions runs the risk of shrinkage or growth resulting in open seams or bubbles. Capitol always recommends that you condition the flooring material and adhesives for 48 hours prior to the installation.
