should be taken to control temperature. Extreme temperature changes may result in unacceptable thermal
expansion or
contraction. Temperature range is 60°F-75°F and relative humidity (RH) of 35%-55%.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight. It will cause the floor to expand and resulting in irreversible edge peaking.
• Exposure to cold air can cause it to contract resulting in gaps between the planks.
• Use shades or blinds to reduce heat due to sunlight. Deflect hot air from heat register or fire place.
• Do not expose to the core to alkaline or basic or alkaline liquids, like caustic solution. It will affect the rigid core.
