I am laying some Armstrong no-glue sheet vinyl in our laundry room.
Reading the recommend installation procedures on Armstrong's web site and
according to the guy at Lowe's-- I should unroll and let the vinyl
"acclimate" it's self to my environment for 48 hrs before installing. How
necessary is this? If anything the vinyl is colder than it will ever be in
my house, from the drive home(1/2 hour in the back of my truck at 10°), so
at worse I would think it may expand a little. While the vinyl was at
Lowes it was between 60° and 70° and my house is about 68°, the humidity
all around is very little. So am I setting myself up for issues if I just
go ahead and lay the vinyl? What do the pros do, deliver the vinyl days in
advance of an install? Don't they just show up and install the floor?
Thanks for any input or suggestions.

Steve,

I think you better read Armstrong's installation instructions again. It
says "just prior to installation, lay flooring out flat to acclimate to
conditions". It doesn't say a thing about 48 hrs.
