Hi All,

I'm about to lay some laminate flooring, and on the instructions that
came with the box, it says:

"let the packages of flooring lie flat on the floor for at least 48
hours prior to installation, in the room in which the floor is to be
installed."

Why is this? I just picked up the laminate today and was hoping to
get started installing. I can't do this for another two days?

Thanks for any help!

The flooring must acclimate to the environment it will be installed in.
