We had laminate laid a week ago and some of it had to come up a week later to repair a “dip” looking at the underlay most of it has now turned to crumble and powdery not sticking to the underlay. It could easily be vacuumed up. mill try and post a video but not sure if I can
Do you know what underlay it is,is it a green fibre board or a rubber crumb with foil on top or something else?
Hi Thank you for your response. It’s a gold covered black rubber substance. Some of it is crumbling like powder and flaking off easily , other areas seem ok and the rubber is still well adhered to the gold
Local fitter apparently been doing floors for 20 years…that must have been his prison term! . I asked him why the underlay had turned to powder he said he didn’t know!! 20 years eh?! Any one here have any idea what causes this disintegration after only a couple of weeks without footfall?
