Laminate flooring questions

[bone collector 13]

Any fellow roksliders by chance in the flooring business? Ran into an issue after a small water damage, that apparently the laminate in my home is no longer manufactured at the same thickness. So I’m currently trying to source 4-5 boxes of laminate from someone’s basement lol. I have the ability to refloor the whole house if needed but was hoping it wouldn’t come to that.

I am not in the flooring business. But had an area of water damage similar to what you describe. Finding replacement flooring was impossible. And drying it out to hope the swelling would go down does not work, even with an industrial dehumidifier.

In most instances the local big box stores won’t have your particular flooring in stock. An outlet location might, but it’s unlikely.

To others out there, I would suggest buying several extra boxes of laminate flooring if you ever do such a project and store them in a safe location.

I'm in the flooring business. If you have the style name and color I'd be happy to check availability tomorrow afternoon when I'm back at work. I've got 15 stores to pull inventory from and several have "old" laminates still in inventory. If that fails there are other avenues to search.
