Stack boards loosely with spacers to allow air circulation on all surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintain indoor humidity between 35% and 55% year-round. Canadian winters with dry forced-air heating can drop below 30% -- use a humidifier to prevent excessive gapping and shrinkage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed oak accepts stain readily, but apply a wood conditioner first for even colour absorption. Test stain on a sample board or cutoff before committing to the full floor -- red oak's grain pattern affects stain uptake and the final colour can vary significantly from the can swatch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the Cottage Collection and other Wickham lines?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cottage Collection is Wickham's value-grade line, offering the same species and milling precision at a more accessible price point.
