Some click floors cannot be reinstalled, for example, I have Forbo and the version I have cannot be reinstalled.Strip said:If you install a clicked, floating floor, it's a simple task to reassemble it in the future; all you need are some saved boards. Build them into the wall, so you know where they are when you need them.
The parquet hidden by the inner wall will "retain" its original appearance, so be prepared to sand the floor when the wall is removed to avoid seeing where the wall was. With this in mind, the wall can be lightly glued so that nothing but the lacquer is damaged the day the wall is demolished.
Whether the parquet is pressed apart or not also depends on the quality of the floor, but it's a gamble that will probably pay off, I believe. But don't install a massive oak door in the wall that can slam shut with force
Smart! That sounds like a pretty good solution to me.Strip said:If you're installing a click-together, floating floor, it's easy to reassemble it in the future; all you need are a few saved planks. Build them into the wall, so you know where they are when you need them.
I know that the long sides can be easily detached and reassembled. The short ends can be knocked out from the side (Had to do that upstairs on one occasion. Not fun dropping the pry bar on a newly laid floor
)If I lay the floor after securing the baseplates, it won't be too complicated. Lay the plank to be cut over the baseplate and mark on both sides of the baseplate.
I will have to buy 2 extra packs, but that's not much in the bigger picture.
