Climate Control and Engineered Floors
I'm trying to manage my expectations here. The plan is to install an engineered floor on a concrete slab. It may be glued and floated or we may use click lock floating. Unfortunately, we don't have consistent climate control in that room. In the winter, if the wood stove is going, relative humidity can drop to 20%. If it's not on, the temp can drop to 45ish. In the summer, RH could reach 80%+, with temps even higher. This is our reality. Given this, how should I expect a good quality engineered floor to perform? Should I prepare myself for some winter gapping? Will floating prevent buckling in the summer? Thanks.
