James · Accepted Answer

Hi, always allow 48 to 72 hours in the house in normal conditions. Ie don't turn your heating on or off just because of it. Just keep the home as normal and store flat. Check as some manufacturers may have different advice but as  a rule of thumb 48 to 72 hours

Nathan · Answer

Engineered wood flooring should be acclimatised in the area where it is to be installed for at least 48-72 hours. In most cases it is recommended to keep packs sealed and cross-stack them in order to allow airflow. check your individual manufacturers recommendations as they're own guidelines may vary.

Greg · Answer

Typically, engineered wood flooring should be left to acclimatise for at least 48 hours, but it is recommended to leave it for a period of 5 to 7 days. This will allow the material to adjust to the room temperature and humidity levels, which can help prevent issues like warping or cupping after installation.

Normally 24/48 hrs depending on site conditions and manufacturers advice.
