01

Measure with context

Meter type, depth, density, temperature, species, surface condition, and calibration influence every reading.

02

Match the destination

A slab should be prepared for the relative humidity it will experience in service, not simply dried to the lowest possible number.

03

Design for change

Breadboard ends, fasteners, slots, joinery, clearances, and panel orientation should allow seasonal movement without failure.
