If you have ordered any flooring or wood paneling, we recommend that you let it acclimate to any environment that it goes into.  Even though it is old dense wood we are working with, it’s important to keep in mind that we took this wood out of its element and have put fresh cuts to the wood, exposing it to a new environment.  We recommend at least a week, but two weeks is always ideal before installing.  If you have ordered engineered flooring, it has less restrictions than solid wood, but we still suggest you do so.  It is also key to keep the humidity and temperature control in your home whenever you put any wood products of any sort in your home.  This will help from allowing the wood to flex too much which could cause separation and cracking in certain areas.
