I just signed a contract to have the BR111 BC Triangulo engineered floor installed on my slab. They are going to install at the end of next month. Where should that wood be stored? If it is in the house, will they have to move it to the garage while they are installing to get it out of the way and will the wood change then since the environment might be different. They said that it would take 3 to 4 days to install 1100sq. ft. and steps. I have a hygrometer so if the humidity is the same in the garage as in my house would that be ok? Also, right now the humidity in my house with a humidifier on my furnace has only been running around 23, will that be a problem? My house gets more humid in the summer time even running my airconditioner because my doors swell. I have not had the hygrometer long enough to know what the actual reading is in the summer.

After reading all the problems people have had with their installations, I am a nervous wreck.

Once the wood is brought in the house leave it inside, don't store any in the garage. It does not take up that much room and it should be stacked up off the concrete a few inches. Your installer can move it around as he/she works like I do. Co-ordinate with the installer where it should be placed until they get there.

I firmly believe that you would be wise to get a good HVAC person in your home and do a thorough check on the furnace and AC. It is not working properly if you already have a humidifier running and the doors stick in the summer. You may need some adjustments made and also some new freon. That would be a priority for me right now. It could be undersized but not likely.

One thing I may suggest, especially with BR-111 flooring, is to open all the cartons on one end, and check color variations, making sure each variation is not in a separate carton. If so, youll need to mark the cartons (light, honey, sable, chocolate, ...) Then sort them buy that variation. The last 2 BR-111, jobs I have done(Sicilian Teak & Santos Mahogany) They were nothing like the samples shown. Out of variation, tolerance. It cause a big headache for me and the client.

You may need a separate room just to sort colors from all the cartons, and do the mixing of varitions, as it seem BR-111 is no longer doing even a little mixing at the mill.

I lost a 2400 sq ft job due to the colors not matching the sample board.
On the subject on hand, keep the flooring in side. Check with the installer on where he/she is going to start and not put it there
