Buckled Laminate Flooring

Buckled Laminate Flooring. For the purposes of this guide buckling occurs when the floorboards groove upward in a convex shape thats the direct opposite of cupping an issue that bows the wood in a concave shape. Bubbling on laminate flooring can be due to too much tension between the planks.

In response to temperature changes the laminate floor will expand and contract. This problem is more likely to come about if the flooring was installed when the room temperature was abnormally low or high. The better option is to find the same material you may have some from the original install or can find it at a local flooring store and cut out the pieces damaged and one beyond those and replace them.

It can rise up to several inches in one or more places.

Laminate floor buckling like lifting can be caused by changes in temperature and humidity levels. Bubbling on laminate flooring can be due to too much tension between the planks. When subjected to a higher humidity or temperature levels than where it was previously exposed to it will cause the laminate planks to expand and swell. One of the possible reasons why your laminate flooring buckled is because of the planks expanding or swelling in their installed positions.
