Un fortunately no theres nothing to do but replace the effected area.. You can t put any top coat on it of any kind. This may be partly why it look s bad other than the piano area. Your not to put any kind of polyurethane on it either, it won t stick.
Yes there only is a thin layer on the lamiate, this is the “picture” of the product and no you can t sand and re do it at all..There are some very good laminates out there that will take decent useages , but there are others that are cheap. The core of the laminate is a key to the board, it s a MDF or HDF , medium and High density fiber board, not partical board. This whats makes it a good or better laminate.
I d clean any “waxes” or coating you have on there now and use recommended cleaners on it from now on. No mopping ( you know what water can do to it) .. All that is recommended for your floor is a mist or spray on cleaner and a dust mop.. Any flooring questions you can e mail me through my avatar.. GL
I have this kind of flooring in my house. If you have bad enough damage to the floor the whole thing need to be replaced. Its beautiful flooring but such a hassle to maintain. Good luck!
It is a thin veneer with particle board underneath, which should never be installed in damp areas like kitchens or bathrooms.
Replace it with “real” wood and seal it.
DO NOT attempt to strip or sand the flooring. DO NOT attempt to coat the floors with anything. I would remove the damaged flooring from your kitchen and replace it with ceramic tile or vinyl flooring, something that is resistant to water. Most of the time it is never a good idea to have any type of wood floors, even good quality, it the kitchen area.
If you are trying to make due with what you have, windex is good for cleaning laminate floors. Spray it on the floor and mop if up with a dry swiffer mop. If you want to fill the small gash in the floor, you can always use a SMALL amount of colored caulk that matches the floor. At least it won’t be as noticable.
well the damage is done,if its somewhere that doesn’t show then there are several ways to repair it,if not then your limited as to what you can do.if you can match it or if you have extra then you can cut,chop and rebuild.if its in front of the frig and sink i have removed damaged areas and replaced them with either vinyl or tile,and use a transition strip to make it look like it was designed that way,it takes care of the problem and restores the look back to your kitchen,and as far as what to put down on it to protect it,there is a lot of things you can use,one would be polyurethane coating,min wax makes a good product for that you can get it in satin,gloss,or semi gloss,and it dries to a good hard finish and wont turn or dull and has a good cover look ,now what to use to strip it with,use either a green scouring pad or steel wool,or even a fine grit sand paper,just ,all you want to do is kill the gloss and make it so the coating will adhire to it,so its not stripping you want,just scuffing,and this will give you what you need to adcheive your goal,hope this helps
