I’ve read that one requirement for installing a timber floor is that the floor needs to offer structural support to the contents of the room along with the weight of the floor and its users. How do I know for sure that my floor will achieve this? What ways can I measure this exactly? Will I know based on the product itself and once it is installed correctly?

Where to put acclimatising floorboards when others are being removed
When it comes to wood floorboards acclimatising to a room, once the process is complete, where should I put the floorboards while the old flooring is being removed? I assume they’ll have to leave the room. Won’t that undo the benefits of acclimatising? Should they be moved around the room and simply kept out of the way of the removal work? I’m just trying to figure out how this can best be done. Thanks for your time.
