   I don't know of anyone that has tried to do a room. But the ammonia used for fuming is very strong (20 - 24%) and requires a masks. If this is an occupied home I don't think that you would ever get it sealed well enough that you don't get a dangerous level of fumes in the rest of the home.

   I would setup a fuming booth and do it before they are laid.

   There is also the problem the wood from different trees having different tanin levels and darking a different amount.

   Go over to FWW and there have been articles on fuming furniture. It might be on line.

   Is it possible to fume an oak floor in a room roughly 12' x 22'? If so, does it matter where you position the ammonia in order to get even, uh, fuming? I know time is a factor in fuming, would the amount of ammonia make any difference? Assuming the room can be sealed to keep the fumes inside, any health, safety or other concerns about doing this?
