Carpet backing and yarn can be stiff, contracted, or difficult to handle when the material temperature is outside the approved range. The building should be enclosed and climate controlled before installation. Conditioning time varies by product, backing, temperature, and manufacturer. Carpet should not be installed in an unconditioned room simply because it has been delivered inside.
