How long did it sit before installed to acclimate?
On Bella Wood the mfg says it only takes 2 weeks to acclimate but the builder said that is BS and it needs to acclimate longer in our very humid climate. Mfg also said just tear off the ends of the boxes so the moisture can absorb. Again, the bldr took let it sit (more than two weeks) with the boxes open, and then spread it out to continue to acclimate.
But it has only been down about a week so time will have to tell.
