Oak Planks Sqeak and cup

rmingle
12 years ago

We installed white oak planks 2 years ago and they sqeaking and cupping badly. The floor is Amish built-28 yr veteran. Kiln dried and delivered at 6% moisture content. I think the wood was not fully dry

How long does it take to dry 7" plank one inch thick??

I have a humidistat that I've tracked it upstairs and down. The humidity in the house is 40-50% summer and 35-45% winter. I can't figure out why this is happening when this is industry rated humidity for a house. It's nailed down over rosin paper.

Please help.

Thank you.
