        "text": "Before installation, it's essential to clear the installation area completely, moving furniture, decor, and disconnecting appliances. Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Hardwood typically needs to acclimate to your home's humidity and temperature for several days prior to installation to prevent warping or gapping after installation.
