How to Repair Laminate Flooring | The Home Depot
At 1:30 we are shown him removing a floor piece. This does not work. The board being removed is connected the the board on its side. (no shown in this video. Lifting the board stresses the other board on its side causing it to break where they connect. I tried using this method and it does not work as shown in this video.

I think you shouldn't glue it to the subfloor. It's suppose to float
Recondition laminate f l oors
How is it, that this is the ONLY video I've seen where they're GLUING the panel to the sub-floor?
Obviously I don't know, but I've seen no other videos where a FLOATING board gets glued down.
Does this not cause problems, or I guess the surrounding panels will still be able to move/expand?
What if I don't have a circular saw? How else to remove the old plank? Also, they don't sell older models of laminate anymore, so there are no way to buy an exact replacement.
It's a floating floor. It's meant for slight movement. Why would you put liquid nails under the plank?? I'm not a pro, but that seems like terrible advice.
Since it doesn’t say in the video, the type of glue they are using is Roberts 8600 Nose Bond Adhesive.
How can the floor float if it's glued down?
Can anyone tell me the name/color of that flooring in the video? It’s like a deep rich red oak but everything on HD website for red oak is much lighter. I have that exact flooring in my house I need to repair.
I would add one more tool, which would be a shop vac to get that dust as you’re cutting. 😮😂
This is helpful, as I bought some expensive Farmstand Maple from Home Depot that still looks great in the dining room, then bought enough to do the rest of the house. They shipped me the cheap version of it. When I contacted them about it, they just ignored me. Talk about bait and switch, or perhaps an inventory control system so messed up, they're too embarrassed to deal with it. Either way, I'm not impressed, but at least I have this video to effect repairs on the cheap stuff.
List of Materials: “Glue” LOLOL what exact type of glue you fools I’m standing here in aisle 43 trying to figure this out!
dont put bead of glue onto floor cause now that one board cant float and will block expansion for entire floor
and you think any one can fix that water damaged one lol!?
This is great info because I had a pig tenant that let her crazy dog piss all over my laminate floors. I'm glad I got rid of that pig tenant.
Where are the links to the items for sale?
Ughhh. We really have to replace the laminate if there’s a small bubble in it??
Thanks husband said this couldn’t be done . Now I have proof and he’s in big trouble 😜😜😜
Being free for expansion is not that necessary?
Thank you! Very helpful video
Is it as easy as it shows
What type of glue is required?
I've never used a circular saw 🙁
