My husband and I bought a new house which had a lot of 'new construction' type features in it.

When this happens, the wood will either expand (RH and MC go up) or contract (RH and MC go down). Changes in MC lag changes in RH. It typically takes 48 to 72 hours for Stikwood to reach what is called equilibrium moisture content (EMC). That is the MC where the material is neither gaining or losing moisture at a given RH.

This result opens the door to a myriad of stress-related health benefits that the presence of wood may afford in the built environment. The application of wood to promote health indoors is a new tool for practitioners of evidence-based design." A great article!
