Acceptable moisture content of unfinished hardwood
Moisture content of hardwood flooring.
I have a distributor who is selling some salvaged unfinished Eucalyptus that was kiln dried to 6% mc. On arrival to the homeowner, it measured 12% moisture.
It's been sitting in her home for a month and it still reads 10 to 12% moisture.
The contractor won't install it unless it's 7% mc. The distributor has sold this to a number of other clients who had it installed and it's fine.
Any suggestions to this homeowner? I'm not doing the job but the distributor thinks the contractor is being too cautious.
