Can you lift and relay laminate flooring.

The fact that laminate flooring boards click together and float over the subfloor makes it easy to take them apart and the danger of damaging the boards in the process is minimal if you re careful. Laminate flooring comes apart as easily as it goes together but the edges are fragile so you have to disassemble a floor carefully if. Applying too much pressure can break the tongue portion of the laminate. Installers usually do not glue a tongue and groove laminate floor and it can be lifted in pieces.

If the tongue breaks off within the removal process the plank has to be scrapped because it will not fit its neighbouring planks properly.

Lift away the laminate with your hands working in rows so the floor is intact. The flexibility of this flooring allows the homeowner to relay the planks or even recycle it in a different room.
