Can You Reuse Laminate Floors? Here's What We Know
By RON BAKER
Laminate flooring often comes up in easily reusable boards but requires care when removing the old pieces to keep them intact. Be sure to have enough boards for your reuse project.
If the wear layer is worn down or damaged on too many boards, the pieces may not be worth reusing for a room in your home but could still be useful in a shed or other outbuilding.
Don't try to save any material that's cut around objects. If you find boards that have been glued, such as in doorways, they are unlikely to be useful, but use your own judgment.
You don't have to discard pieces with damaged edges because they can be used in a pinch, but it probably wouldn't be worthwhile to wrestle with a lot of damaged boards.
