Can You Lift And Relay Laminate Flooring

Homeowners who need to remove the laminate will find the process simple to do.

Can you lift and relay laminate flooring.

Lifting your laminate floor is often necessary to put down new floor. The flexibility of this flooring allows the homeowner to relay the planks or even recycle it in a different room. A homeowner that wants to remove laminate flooring has to be extremely careful while lifting the planks. The fact that laminate flooring boards click together and float over the subfloor makes it easy to take them apart and the danger of damaging the boards in the process is minimal if you re careful.

Installers usually do not glue a tongue and groove laminate floor and it can be lifted in pieces. Laminate flooring comes apart as easily as it goes together but the edges are fragile so you have to disassemble a floor carefully if. If the tongue breaks off within the removal process the plank has to be scrapped because it will not fit its neighbouring planks properly. Use the hammer to bang the screw driver into the small gap between the flooring and the wall.

Can anyone advise if its possible to remove skirting boards and lift up and relay laminate floor without causing any damage to the walls and the floor itself. You might also need to reuse the screw driver at some edges since the flooring may have expanded since. If you really want to remove laminate flooring you have to be extremely careful while lifting the planks. Lift away the laminate with your hands working in rows so the floor is intact.

We had new skirting and floor layed a couple of months ago as part of a larger refurb and the floor has now started to lift anywhere where there is no furniture covering it. Removing tongue and groove laminate flooring is not a hard project.
