Replacing damaged laminate flooring

I have had a small water leak problem in my kitchen and need to replace about 6 to 10 pieces of laminate flooring. The current flooring is tongue and groove type. I have had a consultant around who told me that the whole floor needed to be replaced. I find this a bit of a waste as the damaged area is fairly small. Any tips? Thanks

If you have extra planks, it is a pretty straight forward repair.

If you don't have the extra planks, your only solution, is total replacement.

Repair lose pieces of hardwood floor

S

saker on Nov 24, 2005

My house has a beautiful hardwood oak floor laid in a pattern that gives the apperance of a 3-dimensional cube. Each piece of the flooring that makes up the cube is about 2x5 inches long. There are a couple of pieces along a heavy traffic area that have come lose. Is there a product that I can get that I can apply that will lock these pieces in place, or am I going to have to cut these individual pieces out and put down new pieces? The floor is about 80 years old and needs to be re-finished, but is in otherwise good shape. ThanksRead More

nailing pergo when it buckles?

kimbut on Nov 26, 2005

I installed Pergo laminate floor in my kitchen and for two years it worked great. This year, for some reason, it's buckled all over the place. I've read the threads saying that even the smallest amount of water could've caused this. I think I know what it was - very small diswasher problem that's now fixed. Anyway, I know I need to replace the floor. But don't have the $ right now. As an intirim step, I thought I'd use small finishing nails or something to nail down the places where it's buckled. Since it's a "floating floor" and all that, would this cause mor eproblems? Or would this be ok as a temporary fix?Read More
