Acclimating solid hardwood flooring involves allowing the planks to adjust to the room’s temperature and humidity before installation. Typically, this process takes 48-72 hours. Proper acclimation helps prevent warping, shrinking, or expanding after installation.

To acclimate solid hardwood flooring, leave the planks in the room where they will be installed for 48-72 hours. This adjustment period allows the wood to adapt to the room's temperature and humidity, reducing the risk of warping or dimensional changes post-installation. Proper acclimation ensures the flooring performs optimally and maintains its appearance.
