Please forgive me if you have seen this question in another forum. I wasn't getting many answers.

I live in Calgary, Alberta (Canada). I plan to install 3.25" x 3/4" Brazilian Cherry. During the winter, humidity levels are typically 25 to 40%. It's not possible to humidify past 35% on cold days, or I have excess condensation on windows. On warm winter days, humidity does climb as high as 45%. I suspect I average 35% in the winter. In the summer, it is usually in the 30 to 50% range. Is acclimitization to 35% sufficient given the seasonal fluctuations I see?

Thank you

Sounds good to me. Who is installing it?

I'm going to install myself. I have trust issues...... :) I may wait a week or two. The weather has been unseasonly warm, and humidity has been pushing 40% or better all week. That isn't normal.
