Any area that has water being used for cleaning or washing isn’t a good idea to have hardwood floors. This includes bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and more. However, don’t fret though, studies, living rooms and even dining rooms are ideal for adding touch of class with hardwood flooring.

Subfloor requirements When you remove the old surface flooring it's time to prep the subfloor. The subfloor should be cleaned of any dirt or grime, taking care to leave it dry. The humidity levels between your new floor and the subfloor should be around 3%. To measure this, you will need to get a hold of a moisture meter like a Wagner pinless moisture meter.
Flooring acclimate The boards must be acclimate to the ambient moisture of the room before installation. First, make sure the temperature and humidity of the home is balanced to acceptable levels.
