How to Repair a Floating Cork Floor
We all know that things happen. It's a fact of life that 'stuff' will happen, usually
at the most inconvenient times--like when we can less afford them. Because cork
is so resilient, it does not dent, and major damage to it is not as common as with
other flooring materials, however, as we've said, 'stuff happens.' If an unfortunate occurrence happens, involving your floating cork flooring, relax'it
can easily be repaired. No-glue snap together floating cork floors was invented
for those of us who have small children, spouses who insist on pushing heavy furniture
across our cork floors, or beloved pets with very tiny bladders, or a teenager studying
from exams and tapping a ballpoint pen into the floor, not realizing that he'd been
doing so.
If you need to replace a plank/tile or two (or more) it is a simple process. 1.Clear away all furniture, rugs, etc on the side of the room where the damaged
tile(s) or plank(s) are located.
2.Remove the base and quarter round molding.
3.Carefully pry up the damaged planks/tiles and replace them.
4.Reconnect all floor tiles/planks.
5.Reattach molding/and quarter round.
6.Move furniture, rugs, etc. back in place'or rearrange the room.
7.Sit back and admire your beautiful cork floors.
NOTE: When you originally install your cork floors, try to order at least one extra
box of tiles or planks so that you will have the correct color match if you ever
have to repair your floors. Keep in mind, 'Stuff happens.'
