September 15, 2010 – 8:36 amHow to deal with the rain?
Too much rain falling on the laminate flooring will destroy this type of flooring as it is not water resistant! So be sure that you close the window for the room installed with laminate before you leave your house. Regarding little amount of rain fallen on the laminate, sweep it immediately. Keep the water enter locking system of laminate as possible as you can. Most types of good quality laminate flooring will not warp if a little cup of rain fell on 2 square meters of floor covering area. Laminates broken with rain will expand in all directions. But the expansion sizes are often too much. The colors of the expanded floor area will be deeper than that of the neighboring. But you still work on it. If you think it is ok, you still can use it. The planks will expand and warps if lot of rain fell on them. You have to replace it with new laminate flooring.
