We are installing laminate floors from IKEA. The 2/3 of our project went smoothly. Only corners are left to finish and now the middle of the living room laminate planks are swelling. Its kind of a small pyramid with two planks. Please help me, we are thinking of striping off the whole thing and installing ceramics floors now, its going to cost us more and the work we did for these laminate flooring will all go waste. We would love to save these laminate floors. Please HELP!

Did you follow the installation instructions excatly? I am guessing that you skipped some steps since corners are not the last to go in place. There may be tension in the flooring but try to reread the instructions to see what you did. Laminate flooring should not swell unless you spilled a puddle of water on it. Even high humidity will not cause this type of swelling.

I got the same problem that the laminate floor was swelling in the middle, 4 to 5 pieces of laminate floor were involved. The floor was made six months ago, October. Can anybody tell me the way to solve it ? Please email me [email protected]. Thanks a lot.
