The restoration and repair of the laminate can hardly be called a simple matter, because it requires a very painstaking attitude. In the event that the coating is laid correctly, the maintenance technique is maintained at the proper level, then the laminate will last a very long time. However, it happens that over time, errors made during installation begin to appear on the surface, excessive humidity also negatively affects the appearance.
Reasons for repair
Repair may be required in two cases: when the installation technique was approved and when poor-quality care is provided for the coating. Each laminate manufacturer assures that any person will be able to cope with the installation on their own, it is enough to carefully read the instructions and follow it.
Damage can appear already a couple of months after installation if the base was prepared incorrectly. Before laying on the surface, the substrate is laid, but this does not mean at all that the rough floor can have significant irregularities. Otherwise, the laminate begins to creak, it will open the locks.
Laminate Repair
When a person knows and admits his mistakes, then correcting them is much easier. But in any case, it will take time and financial costs. If the laminate was laid on glue, then it will not work to restore it in any way.
If you were laying yourself, then you know how prepared the base was. For repair it is necessary to remove the panels, the substrate. If the floor is concrete and there are visible hillocks, they are knocked down with a hammer. The pits are covered with mortar. In the event that the deviation on the rough floor is more than 2 cm, then a concrete screed will need to be made, wait for it to completely dry before you again lay the substrate and the laminate.
If in many cases it is necessary to remove the coating for repair, and this requires a lot of time, then dealing with scratches on the surface is easier. To do this, just buy a pencil on the basis of wax. The scratch must be carried out several times until it disappears. After that, the repaired panel is wiped again with a soft cloth, no damage will be visible.
In case of bloating of the laminate from high humidity, it is necessary to disassemble the panels as soon as possible, if necessary, replace the substrate. Panels must be thoroughly dried before subsequent installation.
