Job Site Conditions

Job site conditions

The building should be enclosed with all windows and doors in place.
All concrete, masonry, drywall, ceramic, painting (except final coat of paint on base boards) should be completed prior to installation. This will allow adequate drying time before continuing.
Basement & crawl spaces must be dry and ventilated. Crawl spaces must be a minimum of 18" from the ground to the bottom of the joists. There should be a ground cover of at least a 6 mil and up to a 20 mil polyethylene film overlapped 6" and sealed with a moisture resident tape. For adequate cross ventilation at least two vents should be open year round. Total vent openings should be 1.5% of the surface area of the crawl space. For example (1000 sq ft = a total of 15 sq ft vent openings)
Make sure the building is maintained at a normal operating temperature of 21^o Celsius and the correct humidity level of about 40% for a minimum of one week prior to delivery of wood, as well as for the wood's ACCLIMATIZATION period.
The job site should have a consistent room temperature of 16^o to 24^o Celsius and humidity of 35% to 55% for the ACCLIMATIZATION period.
