Much of what Bruce makes for your area comes out ot the Nashville, TN plant (similar in climate to your area). (While I cannot be certain that Natl relections is made directly from that plant)chances are by the time you receive the floor, the flooring is acclimatized to your area anyway (being in storage for a bit). Just make sure when you go to install the floor to leave the flooring in the room to be installed for a minimum of 4 days (best if one week). That way the wood will get use to the higher humidity conditions before installation. Since it is an enginnered product it will handle some minor changes in temp and humidity.
Good luck
: Bruce Natural Reflections is an great product. A few years ago they had some problems with it but Bruce has worked hard to fix them. I will tell you I use this product on a regular basis. I install a couple of job a week of it. The nice thing about it is square edge gives the look of 3/4" oak. The finish on it is wonderful. I personaly have very few problems with it. You are in a humid environment but, you probabley have a/c so it is not a big deal. Have the retailer check moister level in your home.
