Question on laminate wood floor repairs.

[Invisible Evil]

I have looked all over the place trying to find a solution to this.
I have light color hardwood laminate flooring throughout my house, in the high traffic areas because of my dogs the floor is scuffed up.
Does anyone have a clue on how to get these out?

Cut out the board and glue in another one.

Its a large area. Thanks for your response though.

If you've tried repair kits, then the next step is to call in a pro to see if he can repair it or replace the planks.

There's not much you can do but cut it out and replace it. Since it's not real wood, you can't sand it down.

Sounds like the OP is in the market for a new floor. Pets on laminate is a huge no no.

area rugs, runners, etc.

I have an engineered hardwood floor. So far it's been fine with a big dog, a cat and a child...then again, it's only been in a few weeks.

Quite the contrary, laminate holds up much better to pets than hardwood. I have an absolutely insane black lab that's been unable to damage my floors after 4 years of relentless effort.


To the op, about the only thing you can do is wax the floor, it will hide some of the wear and put a little shine back on the floor, with the added bonus of making indoor fetch very entertaining.

laminate? it's done, you can't refinish it. Tear it up and replace.

Agreed. Wax or replace. I don't actually know for certain but I don't think I'm in the minority here .

I might try to wax it.
What a pain in the ass this stuff is.
