They say the longer the better. but a week or two should suffice! but Id imagine if its a house you're just moving ..that has just been built...there would be moisture in the walls etc..(as new builts go!) so perhaps it's different then!
hey doggychops,chat too a carpenter,dont depent on guess work,you got too consider a few things like is the house well dried out,is the flooring going on top off floor screed or is it being battoned,the carpenter who is laying it for you will set you straight.too expensive a job too chance it.
hi doggychops, will here. im carpenter and fit quite a few floors. on our flooring jobs we allow 2 weeks accliamatising in a room near a radiator. the longer the better. for best results sheet out the floor with flooring plywood then secret nail the oak floor with a powernailer. much better option than floating the floor on an underlay. let us know how u get on.
has a moisture test been done on the concrete floor as well. there should be no more than 3% moisture in your concrete floor. also laying the floor depends on a few factors. do you have under floor heating or are there wall mounted rads. also some apartment buildings do not allow wood floors fitted above ground floor because of noise to other residents.and if you do use plywood to nail down too, this may rise your flooring up around your front door meaning you'll have a small step in to your apartment. much easier to use parquet floor glue and stick your floor direct to concrete
time sitting is irrelevant,climatic conditions,you will need a professional,be very very very careful, only get someone that has their own meter for testing moisture content, professional have them
