Specifications for Maison Plank Engineered Wood-Veneer Flooring
Maison Plank’s engineered hardwood flooring specifications detail our product’s distinct attributes and general site and installation requirements. The installation contractor is responsible for evaluating unique job conditions and adjusting these guidelines as necessary. Additionally, the
contractor must determine the proper ancillary products, such as underlayments, and ensure they meet project-specific standards.
In all cases, site conditions, material acclimation, and installation protocols should adhere to the best practices established by the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA).

Delivery, Storage, and Handling
To maintain product integrity, the following guidelines must be observed:
- Flooring is delivered in moisture-protective wrapping.
- Products are packed in forklift-accessible crates, boxed, and banded in durable cardboard, with each box covering approximately 25 square feet on 4×4 pallets.
- Flooring must be shielded from moisture exposure. Deliveries should only occur once all wet work (concrete, plaster, tile, etc.) is complete and the environment has stabilized within normal living conditions.
- Prior to installation, flooring should be acclimated in a controlled environment, replicating near live-in conditions, for 48 hours, with the exact duration determined by the installer.
Project Conditions
For optimal installation performance, ensure that:
- The HVAC system is operational and maintains temperatures between 64-77°F and a relative humidity of 35-65% for at least 7 days prior to and during installation.
- The building envelope is fully sealed and weather-tight, with all primary painting completed except for any final trim details that might interfere with installation.
- All moisture-generating work (e.g., concrete, plaster, tile) has been finalized, ensuring the environment is within standard living conditions.
- Exterior grading directs water away from the structure, and any necessary downspouts and gutters are installed to mitigate moisture risks.
Suboor Requirements
- The subfloor must be at and level to within 3/16” over a 10-foot span. Verify that any underlayment or adhesive requirements are met as per the installer’s recommendations.
For concrete substrates:
- Verify and document substrate dryness using appropriate testing methods (e.g., Relative Humidity testing per ASTM F2170 should not exceed 75%; Calcium Chloride testing per ASTF1869 should not exceed 3 lbs per 1000 square feet over 24 hours).
For wood subfloors:
- Moisture content should not exceed 12% and must be within 2% of the flooring’s moisture content, measured using a reliable pin-type resistance meter
Attic Stock & Installation Waste
- It is recommended to order an additional 10% above the actual coverage suare footage to account for waste and cutting needs.
- For future repairs or unexpected issues, an extra 5% is advised to maintain adequate attic stock.
