Peeling Engineered Wood Floor

I am supposed to close on a house this week and i have a question regarding the hardwood floors.

Peeling engineered wood floor.

I received a call from the local builder warranty corporation to inspect a hardwood floor for which the finish was peeling. Engineered hardwood flooring is recognized for having dimensional stability in the way they are constructed. Like solid hardwood floors damage to engineered hardwood floors can be the result of either a one time water event or an ongoing issue. It doesn t seem to make sense.

This is caused by the wrong cleaning practices. Well i laid engineered hardwood down about just a little under 700 square feet. I know that the problem is wax in the grain of the wood and i also know that even if i sand the whole floor again the same thing will. The best way to fix a peeling floor is to sand it down to bare wood and restart the finishing process.

Hi we just had our engineered wood floor installed urban floor by a professional installer just only a month and a half ago. Many times the damage is the result of a combination of both. We are now experiencing the same problem of top finish peeling. Unfortunately with improper care problems arise such as the delamination of the flooring.

Without resanding waxes oils and furniture polishes used to clean wood floors seep into the pores of the finish and can prevent the new finish from bonding. In the dining rooms and entry way there are rugs on the hardwood floors with no pads and apparently water must have been spilled in a couple of areas and has seeped through to the floor because the polyurethane is peeling off in long strips. The product was a factory finished solid oak floor installed throughout the main floor of the home. These problems occur when the glue fails to bond to the subfloor during installation or when a single board is damaged by moisture or humidity.

Simply abrading the floor and applying a new top coat might not fix the problem. Job and when i coated the floor oil base satin the finish started flaking off the floor from the grain i have had this problem one other time in the 4 years that i have been sanding floors.
