We are close to taking delivery of 1200 sq.ft. of white oak 5" flooring. it will be in 5,6 and 7 foot lengths. The flooring will be laid in four rooms and a hallway.
My question is about the best way to have it placed in the house off the delivery truck. I know it needs acclimation. My hope is to get close to a standard of 2% between the flooring and subfloor. We plan to use Formular B underlayment. This could take weeks as there is no central heat/air because we are using wood heat and a attic fan. (the house is in the mountains of TN) I have installed a large dehumidifirer in the crawlspace with ducting in the walls opening air flow between the crawlspace and the house (one story).
Should I put down the Formular B and spread it all over the floors for acclimation or stack it stickered or just stack it? We need to have a way to work in the house on other aspects other than the floor during the acclimation period.
I would appreciate direction. Thank you.
