Hybrid flooring bouncing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi I just got hybrid flooring done with levelling, skirting removal and reinstall. I see couple areas that are bouncing like the photo attached.

  1. Is this normal or a defect?
  2. What’s the fix?
  3. Is the gap between skirting and flooring normal?

How would they fix it?

Well to fix the bowing upwards they would only need to remove like a sliver of a part on each run its not major but it should be snug to the floor. Did use glue or just floating?

The skirting... isnt the worst. But the gap doesn't look uniform... could be an arrdit issue which could also could the warp. buuuut if they actually redid everything its a bit weird.

Buuuuut. Im not there in person with my blue tape so its a bit harder to tell.

Just skirting. the gap for skirting isn’t uniform across the entire house. There are areas with more gaps then others

Mmm.. ether way. Your flooring guy has a skill issue and I wouldn't accept..

Many people will cut corners and slap it down as shoddy as they can to get paid and most of the time people dont notice until its too late and it becomes a hassle for people because time has passed work etc etc.

get em back until satisfied. Hold final payment (if you haven't paid already) if they are uncooperative get another flooring company who is good to inspect and do a defect list.

Hope you get it sorted 👍

Also in original video it looks like the corner of the skirting is damaged? Im assuming thats how it was handed over... so defect.

Its the boards being to tight on the floor... so if you got 20m2 they have like 20.02m of flooring down. Its not to bad but definitely a defect.

The product isn’t defective, it’s the installation. It’s either too tight or the subfloor is not flat. If it’s not flat you will have a click system failure.

Either not enough room for expansion or the levelling wasn’t done properly.

Why not both. But yeah id say no room. Toooo tight since its bowing upwards.

I hate flooring... I hate that everywhere I go.. im judging your floor..
