I will be installing a laminate floor at a shore point.
It will be installed on the second floor. Will the moisture in the air be a concern?
Thanks in advance

If installing over concrete, you will need to install a vapor retarder. Temperature and humidity levels should be maintained year round at occupany levels. Temperature somewhere around 70 degrees & humidity between 35-55%. To monitor humidity levels, you will need a hygrometer (sold where they sell thermometers). A dehumidifier can be used to reduce humidity.
Before installing, doors and windows should be closed and HVAC system running. Product will need to adjust to temperature and humidity per manufacturer's instructions prior to installation.
