Question:

Can an gash in an engineered wood floor be repaired without replacing the floor?

I have a new engineered floating wood floor. A brass lamp fell and left a quarter to half inch deep gash in the floor. Is there a way to repair it without replacing the foor? The wood is oak.

Answer:

From my experience I would try and see if you could get a matching wood puddy, to fill the gash. If you have a piece of scrap left over from when the floor was installed, you can take it to your local hardware store and get a wood puddy that will match it. Ive used this before and only I can tell that the damage is there, to others, they can't see it.
I would check with the manufacturer. You could use wood filler to match, but I think there is probably a product or system better suited directly from the manufacturer. Or, just call it character! lol.
