Hi all, Recently I’ve noticed some odd black lines appearing on my wood veneer floor. In one place you can clearly see it has cracked but the others almost look like someone has drawn them on with a marker. They’re flat to the touch and weren’t there before. I’ve added just one picture but there are several of them. I thought it might be a problem with a leak in my underfloor heating but it doesn’t look like typical water damage. Any thoughts?
The one with the two lines has definitely split. The other ones haven’t - it’s just a dark line. I guess I’m just wondering what might have caused it and whether or not I have more of this to look forward to!
It could be that the ufh has dried the floor out too much, causing excessive shrinkage,I'm assuming it's engineered
Could be - it’s been so cold I’ve had the heating on more than usual. Do you know if that’s something that can be repaired or will it need to be replaced?
How long has the floor been down?if it's been down a while, then personally, i would only change the boards as a last resort, the colour difference might look even worse. A coat of refresher might help to put some moisture back in the wood and close up the cracks
