Do I need to acclimate Bella Cera flooring before installation?

Yes, it is important to acclimate Bella Cera flooring before installation. Acclimation allows the hardwood planks to adjust to the humidity and temperature of the room where they will be installed. This process helps minimize the risk of expansion or contraction after the flooring is laid, which can lead to gaps or buckling over time. Typically, it is recommended to allow the flooring to acclimate for at least 48 to 72 hours in the room where it will be installed, with the planks laid flat in their packages. The room’s temperature should be maintained between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the relative humidity should be kept between 30 and 50 percent during this period. Ensuring proper acclimation is a critical step in achieving a beautiful and long-lasting floor.
