Do I need to acclimate Cali Bamboo flooring before installation?

Yes, it is recommended to acclimate Cali Bamboo flooring before installation. This is because bamboo flooring is a natural product that can expand or contract with changes in humidity and temperature. Acclimation allows the flooring to adjust to the conditions of the installation environment, ensuring greater stability and minimizing the risk of problems later on. The acclimation process involves bringing the flooring into the room where it will be installed and letting it acclimate for a minimum of 72 hours. During this time, the boxes should be opened and the planks should be spread out to acclimate evenly. It is also important to maintain the recommended temperature and moisture levels in the room throughout the acclimation and installation process.
