I have installed laminate flooring in my home and?

If crawl space, width of floor joists and spacing; as well as unsupported run length.

I think you didn't leave a big enough gap between the laminate and the baseboards. The stuff expands with humidity and if so, if the gap is too small, it will buckle in the middle. Take a strip out, cut a 1/2" off lenght wise and reinstall.

Your floor should settle down. Then re-install your quarter round.

It could be that you never left the required spacing at the floor edges. So now the floor is swollen from the moisture in the air and needs room to move.

Or if installed on concrete you might of left out the moisture barrier.

There are only two reasons for laminate or wood floors to buckle! #1. It was put in to tight (must have at least a 1/4" gap around the edge of the floor)# 2.Gh moisture content in the slab (if concrete or terrazzo).

For #1 just make sure you cut a cap in the areas that may seem tight. The floor may then relax and go back to normal.

For #2 check your irrigation system outside your home and make sure you don't have a leak or a sprinkling head hitting the foundation. The water will wick into your slab raising the moisture content! It must be corrected!

The damage may be done and may have to re-install your floor once the corrections are complete!

I suspect that you probably didn't leave a gap around the edge of the laminate, nor preped you floor correctly prior to installation.

I had the same problem. I didn't leave enough space at the edges of the room for the floor to expand. We had to remove the moldings and trim 1/8 of an inch from the edge.

The floor relaxed after about 2 weeks.

Watch this video for a proper laminate flooring installation.

The problem is the the manufacturers tell you to leave the thickness Of the Laminate to allow for expansion, I have seen Laminate floors push sliding glass doors Out of the wall they were in. What you need to do is trim the edges and leave apps 1/2 inch all around Of course it is hard to tell if you don't see it or have more info. Would be happy to assist more but would need More info.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
