Raising and relaying laminate flooring

You must carry out the following procedures to raise and reinstall laminate flooring:

<em><strong>Take off any baseboards</strong></em> or skirting boards to access the flooring margins around the room's perimeter.
<em><strong>Lift the laminate flooring's edges</strong></em> gently away from the wall using a crowbar or pry bar.
<em><strong>Lifting and detaching the planks</strong></em> or tiles from the subfloor as you move slowly throughout the room is advised.
<em><strong>Place the planks or tiles in a dry</strong></em>, secure spot while taking care not to harm them.
<em><strong>Remove any adhesive</strong></em> or debris left over from the old flooring to prepare the subfloor.
<strong><em>Reinstall the planks</em></strong> or tiles in their original location, being careful to interlock them properly and leaving a little expansion gap all the way around.
Baseboards and skirting boards should be reinstalled.
When to Leave It to the Experts

While it is technically possible to raise laminate flooring and lay it again, there are better solutions than this. For example, replacing your flooring might be more economical if it is harmed, worn out, or obsolete. Lifting and relaying the flooring could also result in additional damage or instability if installed improperly or over a damaged subfloor.

It is better to leave flooring installation to the experts if you need more experience.
