How to Fix Squeaky Laminate Flooring Yourself MrYoucandoityourself - Jak na to + styl
I like this. Only 1 thing, just make sure nothing underneath is gone wrong. What if any mold or damage to fix? Would not be good to add glue until you know what is there. This floor looks in good shape, so this method works if nothing bad happening underneath. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great tip! Thanks for the video! :)
Glad it was helpful!
He puts Micheal Jackson to shame with those moves.Good video thx I’m going to try it 👏👏
Great!
hi this makes sence, ive tried , nails, wd40 and talcum powder.did not work..i will try and let you know,so this is tung and grove glue? not wood glue, do you have to put something heavy? on it...i have bamboo floating flooring, i believe its on concrete as im in a flat?
I showed this repair , because sometimes lock on the board not good, but if your level on subfloor too bad, it's doesn't help.
How's the result?
Did any body try this method?
Thanks! This worked for me
Glad it helped
How long did this glue hold up ?
Me likey! Thank you Vassily!
A-ha-ha! I am not Vassily!
Odlicno!!
Da da.
My floor squeaks without walking on it as well as when walking on it. It was so loud this morning it woke me up sounding as if someone was jumping up and down on it but there was no one there. It was only laid 9 months ago, the room was a new conversion. It was very warm yesterday and quite cold last night, could it be expansion from temperature changes causing it, if so does any one know how to stop the sound? I'm thinking maybe when they put the floor down perhaps they didn't leave enough gap between the laminate flooring and the wall and there isn't enough room for the laminate to expand properly... Only thing I can think of, I've never even heard of this issue before.
Yes, sometimes not enough space for moving, why it can squeaks.
Depending on what kind of flooring was laid, it seems like they didn't let the wood acclimatize to your home's moisture and the floor is very tight. It shrinks a little in the day when the sun comes in and warms the room, then goes back to being tight at night when it's cooler {expanding back outwardly}. Call the company back and explain your situation. Perhaps they will give you a partial refund. It seems like the whole floor is that way and I wouldn't bet that they will come back, tear it all back up and start over. Also, laminate flooring isn't supposed to be laid down, taken up and laid again. The joints would be too loose and not look well and let more moisture between the boards.
Maybe your house is haunted...
I can’t get this product in the uk can you recommend something similar?
Any tong and grove glue for floating floor.
how can you tell if the sound is the laminate an not the floor underneath? if it was placed over old wood floor. In some areas, It seems like it must be the top laminate because you barely put pressure and it squeaks. it is driving me crazy- but a quote from the flooring co. that installed it is so high- they said it's floor underneath - sub floor and it needs to be repaired and if is a bigger issue with the sub floor it could be even more.
Under this floor concrete slab, sound coming from laminate floor only. Thanks!
Step on the joints barefoot. You will feel movement if it is in the laminate.
My looking is very tight and there isn’t space to get a knife between seams to put in the glue. What do I do?
drill smal holl end fill with colored wax after you aply glue ...
Not this method, that's for sure
I never knew i can find solutions for this problem thank you but didn’t understand the glue name can you reply which glue is it?
I found new idea - spray squeaky joints with WD40. Wait 1-2 min and then wipe it out. Its work forever. I did it few times and wondering how it fast and no headache.
@@MrYoucandoityourself it doesn’t work forever. In my case it worked like a week
Wd-40 2 days
2 time consuming over a whole floor that squeaking what to do to not have the squeaks in the first place
Hi, need to find where the floor is clamped, other words attached to the wall.
I would not use a knife to cut in between the boards because you end up breaking the locking mechanism and then its permanently destroyed. The real problem for creaky floors is 2 main reasons. Firstly the floor below is uneven so only way to remedy this is by using a levelling compound or underlay boards not rolls prior to laying the floor. Or secondly the laminate is cheap type and less than 10 mm thick so it flexes easily causing the noise. A third reason could be that the lock mechanism is rubbish and the fitter didnt follow the instructions or glue the joints.
Very good comment! Thanks
Thanks for this. I'm having this exact problem and in a new build. We thought it could be not leaving enough expansion gap could this be the case? It is only happening at specific points in the floor and from what we see we can't see movement.
Nobody came here because they want to remove all the floors and reinstall.
@@greglutz1802 do whatever you want it's your money at the end of the day I had to remove and reinstall ply underneath to level the floors before laying any finishes on top. Simple answer is no hacks work unless your floor underneath is properly setup.
Sorry but wrong about the causes. My subfloor is completely level and movement and sound free until I installed the flooring. And i have 5GC 15mm thick engeered thats £40 per sqm yet It creaks like mad, all over and its perfectly level.
Nice. Thanks
You are welcome!
Mmmm hope this works on the floor we just laid down lol
You can try.
In the same boat, it work?
It’s this work on engineer flooring ?
Lmao same let me know with the results
What is the name of the glue ? Where can I find it ?
This is glue for floating floor. You can find in any stores selling hardwood floors.
Squeak comes from the loosen plywood and old nails underneath the laminated flooring. Not sure this will fix the issue.
Floor squick too.
what is the name of this glue
- Tongue and Groove Glue - amzn.to/2hC8bD9
It’s this work on engineer floor ?
Hi William, I didn't try.
Anyone tried with good news?
All flooring problems are different, but with most of it this treatment can help. Thanks
Olive oil it's work to no noise any more
I'll check your method. Thanks!
@@MrYoucandoityourself did you check ? Is it working? Do you have link to buy that glue???
yes does this work?
PunaniJohnny IT WORKSSSSS
May I know this details of this method?
Not good. For a month or two solution. I can see your floor is moving under your steps. It means there is a gap between it and the sub-floor. More direct way is to fill that gap with your glue from the top by puncturing the floor. Use guitar glue syringe to inject. Touch up the access hole after to make it less noticeable.
Floating floor always moving, because of underlay.
Hmm... Always moving? Why do you fix exactly this spot if all your floor "always" moving? Anyway, your solution is good as a temporary one. This problem is way more tricky than just adhesive fill-in
So how long did this fix the problem for? I have an electric wheelchair.... will this fix the problem for my heavy wheelchair too? The noise is the only thing keeping me from getting a laminate floor. My spouse wants it and I don’t want to be squeaky wherever I go.
I have no idea how long it's work,this repairing still fine, no noise.
I would never recommend laminate, I wish I could afford to replace mine with vinyl strips. It creaks in all the rooms upstairs, also do not use in kitchen or baths, it soaks up moisture and swells up
I am a big fan of tile for a number of reasons but of course pros and cons. In Florida, so many use it. I've never had laminate until now; it was in this house I bought squeaky here and there. Never had the problem with wood floors. When I get around to it on the priority of tasks, I'll try talcum or corn starch baby powders in the cracks of the laminate planks, making sure to make sure the powder is only in the cracks.
I've had carpeted floors squeak, but that was because the builder was a cheap SOB and didn't fasten down the horizonal wall 2 x 4 base to the flooring. I pulled off the base board and used a special screw at an angle whereever the floor squeaked near the wall. Works. Angled the long screw partially or wholly through the drywall and fastened the 2 x 4 to the floor... sometimes you didn't find the right spot the first time. If you are lazy, you can go right through the baseboard...but sloppy. If the squeak is away from the wall and you can't get underneath, you'd probably be better to take up the carpet briefly and fasten the flooring better to the joists or 2 x 4, whatever the flooring is on.
that kind of noise most common reason is that the flooring that should remain floating is actually blocked somewhere. Dealing this way You just trying to fight the symptom and the root cause is not eliminated in most cases.
Thank you for your opinion.
What would be the best whey to elimenate squeaking?
Sure wish the jerk who lives above my condo would fix his floors🙏. It’s a nightmare
Show them this video.
That is smart but my entire floor squeaks... that would take for ever
Thanks for your comment.
Right 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I am not sure that this works for laminate or wood, but I recall reading that using talcum powder (maybe corn starch baby powder will work) in the joints or cracks makes the creaking go away. You must be careful to work it in the cracks without leaving any on the surface else the surface will be exceptionally slippery-- not fun if you flounder around trying to keep your balance or fall on one's tuckus. lol hmmmm.... my ex has such floors....hmmm heh heh
"we check sound..." *nice dancing* "no sound... job is done."
Thanks for commenting!
Do you have a squeaky laminate flooring? Here is how to fix it.
MrYoucandoityourself good thing you weigh as much as you do ! A person who is lightweight cannot fix that problem haha. Well done 👍🏽
I like your humor and here is my idea: The person with lightweight doesn't have this problem!
HAHAHAHA
