Hello Terry or Kevin, I just bought 2000 sq. ft. of laminate. The manufacturer name is 1867
Laminate Flooring from Canada. Can I store the laminate in the garage for a few months in a
cold winter climate?( -5 to -40 degrees celcius) Thank you Rob
While you should be able to store it as long as the garage is enclosed and dry it would be best for you to contact the manufacturer for their recommendations. When you get ready to install it you should bring it into the area where it is to be installed and leave it for several days to acclimate.
Is it true that swiffer wet jet can harm my floating floor install without glue or sealant.
TAHNK YOU.

Is it possible to use an electric iron (like one used for shirts) to to heat and press out some minor swelling between the end of two laminate planks? If yes any suggestions on how much heat and for how long? Logic being that the heat could “drive out the moisture” and the pressure coould help flatten the substrate and laminate. Pet had an accident over night and swelling appeared some days later at the ends of two adjoining planks.
Yes it is true that wet cleaning like this will damage most laminate floors.
I have not heard of anyone using an iron to try and correct swelling from moisture or urine but if anyone else has tried it you might want to reply.
I just had laminate flooring put in and noticed that the planks weren’t staggered. Will it buckel? Should I have them redo it,not happy with a straight seam from one end or room to the other.

If the end joints on adjacent planks are lining up next to each other they installation is destined to fail and should certainly be replaced. If the floor is installed so that the end joints line up every other plank it is an appearance issue referred to as H-Joints. H-Joints are more of a visual problem and an indication that the installers did not know what they were doing. You might want to look for additional issues with this installation for 10 to 1 they are there.

I am looking for some laminate to match what I already have. I have St. James Collections, Westminster rosewood 12mm and need something to match it. Lumber Liquidators says they have no more.
Paul
This can certainly be a laminate problem or problem with any other product when you want more and it is no longer available. Doing a quick Google search I see that Lumber Liquidators was not the only company to promote this product. It looks to me like you will just need to contact each of those that have it listed on the internet and perhaps you will be lucky enough to find more of the product. Other than that you may need to use a product that has a similar appearance and if it joins the existing laminate product and the locking system does not match you will need to use a transition such as a T-molding.
Terry
Terry,
Thanks for your reply. While I saw other companies every time I clicked them it went right to Lumber Liquidators. Do you have any knowledge of any of those companies you saw who are not affliated with L/L. Again thank you very much for your help.
Is it possible to use a damp mop to clean Swiftlock Laminate floor?
Boyd
You ask if it is possible to use a damp mop to clean Swiftlock Laminate Floor? Swiftlock Laminate is an Armstrong product. At the Armstrong website they state under Spring Cleaning> “Use a well-squeezed damp mop with Armstrong Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner or Bruce® Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner. A light damp mop is all you need!”
