How to replace broken locking vinyl plank flooring
If a lock vinyl panel is severely damaged, it can be replaced separately.
- Allow the new panel to adapt to the conditions in the room before installing. In the meantime, remove the damaged plate.
- Apply tape around the edge of the damaged panel to avoid accidentally cutting into the adjacent panel.
- Saw a line along the length of the board and stop 10 cm from each end. From the four corners, saw four more seams into the middle cut to remove the board pieces. Avoid cutting into neighboring panels.
- Once the board has been removed, vacuum tube If you damage the lining, repair it with small tape.
- Take a new board and check that the color matches the rest of the floor. If possible, draw a saw line on the click side. Do the same on the underside of the board so you can see right up to its edge. We'll paste this later.
- Cut grooves with your depth saw. Be careful of your cables! Pro tip: To trace a perfect line you can also use a second plank that you place on the tongue of the plank.
- applies slightly Cold weld bonding compound to the edge of the short and long sides of neighboring grilles. Apply this to the tongue of the grate that is already on the floor as well. Don't use too much yarn.
- Place the new board in the opening, as close to the short edge as possible, and press the longer edge into the floor. Wipe off excess glue. Special tip: Use cold welding adhesive compound. Regular glue is too thick.
- distributes a weight Approximately 40 kg on new floor and allow to dry for at least two hours. Your floor will now be as good as new!
