How can I fix a laminate flooring that is delaminating?

Hi, Lady MAK!

That's ultra frustrating! The only thing I can suggest is to remove the piece and insert another. If it is a floating floor and close to the end where it it was installed, the rows can be removed and the new piece reinstalled. If it is not a floating floor, the piece can be cut out with a Dremel type of tool in the channel around the piece. The lip of the new piece will be cut away on all sides, then the new piece will be glued down. Does that make sense? Either way, it's going to be a huge job! I hope this helps!

Is your floor past the warranty time? I think ours had a ten year warranty which it surpassed about 5 years ago. I have some places that have sort of expanded at the seams (from water, since it is in the kitchen and laundry room) but have nothing like the peeling which seems to be in your picture. Cher has the right idea but failing that, is there any way you can glue the loose sides of the laminate? Not a permanent fix but might do temporarily.

That would be my suggestion as well, remove and replace.

Still under warranty?

Remove and replace the board is the only solution. Water has gotten into the substrate and swelled it.

Who is the manufacturer? Where did you buy the flooring? Contact those 2 places and also look up the warranty of the product on the internet. My floor is warrantied for 10 years.

Other than that, or replacing the slats, the only thing I can think of is maybe sealing with polyurethane.

Although it is upsetting to not have a product last as long as expected, the damage that has occurred would not be considered 'normal' wear that standard warranties cover. And while perhaps not comforting to hear, to have had 5 years service from any laminate floor exceeds the time that many laminates go without incurring any damage.

The only solution here is to replace.
