One of the most common types of flooring today is laminate. It has many advantages, among which one can call a presentable appearance, wear resistance, excellent sound insulation, ease of installation and practicality, all against a relatively low price.
But the laminate , like any other surface, is subject to mechanical influences. The greatest risk is the coverage in small rooms, especially if there live small children. Therefore, it is not surprising that even a surface as strong as a laminate can cause a scratch. But each of us wants his home to look perfect, and the problem should be solved somehow. So, let's look at several ways how you can remove scratches on the laminate.
Scratches on the laminate - what to do?
- The first help with such "injuries" of the laminate is wax. They can just lubricate the scratch or use a conventional wax pencil, which is even easier. But, as a rule, the way to restore the laminate from scratches with the help of wax is suitable only for small damages.
- If the scratch is deep, you will have to spend money on a special repair kit for the laminate. It includes a wax pencil, putty or a small spatula. With these materials, you need to carefully remove the scratch, after cleaning the laminate in the place of damage from dirt and dust.
- Instead of buying a set, you can use the usual putty (putty), which is sold in building stores by weight. Laminate should be degreased, then cover the scratch, remove the remaining solution and allow to dry.
- The more good the laminate, so it is that if you can not scratch the scratch on it differently, any of the boards can be dismantled. To do this, when buying, order a reserve of 2-3 boards more than you need to cover the entire room. And, if the scratch is very deep and it is impossible to seal it with the above means, you can simply replace one spare board.
