re: Installing hardwood floors without letting it acclimate in the house first

If the flooring was stored in a climate controlled warehouse, does it need to acclimate?

Or no matter what it needs to?

you are thinking wrong, acclimating to your home, more often then not, means it is slowly absorbing humidity within the home and swelling/expanding slightly, its not for drying it out or removing humidity unless the flooring got damp in the warehouse.

so yes, no matter what, it needs time to acclimate or you will have gaps open up or the floor will start cupping over time
