Fitting engineered on Monday 33deg...

I've fitted plenty of engineered wood but I have a job booked in for next Monday when we are supposed to be hitting 32 - 33 degrees temp...
Correct me if I'm wrong but are you not supposed to fit wood flooring in them temps especially inside might be even higher or is this just a myth

 

I think that’s the same with most floorcoverings tbf but in almost every circumstance floors get fitted in any case etc I’d be calling it off working in that heat is mental

 

Yeah the wood adhesive would be going off too quick aswell. Going to break it to the customer, not risking it seeing as the humidity will be ridiculous

 

Bugger that for a laugh, like you said adhesive will go off too quick, you’ll be pissing with sweat and making mistakes, possible problems with the boards down the line unless the job has proper climate control I wouldn’t entertain it, and if memory serves you legally can’t work in heat over 30 deg anyway.

Yeah now I've giving it a proper thought I don't know why I was even contemplating it

 

Refusing to do a job is never your first thought

 

Was fitting engineered today and that was at the limit. Fan on, paper up. Still too hot and yes the glue was going off mental quick. Over a dpm so had a little extra time. Monday We meant to be doing Amtico spacia in a kitchen, south facing bifolds across the back. Jobs been postponed. Also need to level up a conservatory 15mm for some engineered. Can see me losing about 2 weeks work

 

Can't bloody win can't we.

I told my customer, well I left him a message about his on Monday that I'll have to postpone and not heard anything from him, he probably not happy seeing as the first attempt resulted into sending all his packs back due to him leaving them in the room whilst they plasterered and warped real bad

 

Well that’s wood flooring. It needs to be stable. Not sure why they don’t see that. It’s unbelievable that for some reason every time I do a wood floor the customer and builder believe it’s absolutely fine to put it done before the bifolds doors are in
Mainly because they arnt ordered in time and the floor is holding up the job! Let’s just get it down hey; if it all goes pear shaped we can blame the Floorlayer
