Question:

seam in laminate flooring?

I have laminate flooring my in my bathroom. The seem appears to have warped, How do I seal the seem once again? It is a wooden style flooring (but not the snap together type)

Answer:

wooden style floor but not the snap together type??would this actually be a tongue and groove hardwood floor??if it is,and its warped,your screwed.
Laminate floors are not actually wood. Engineered floors have a thin layer of wood on top. Hardwood floors are all wood. Laminate floors are only a picture of wood on top of a substrate. That substrate is usually something called MDF. MDF will swell when it gets wet. This is likely your problem. There is no repair except for replacing those sections. Tongue and groove laminate is glued together making this almost impossible. If you had hardwood floors they could be sanded and refinished. If you have engineered floors they might, or might not be able to be refinished, depending on the thickness of the veneer on top. Sorry for the bad news.
