|
|
The flooring in my apartment is faux wood panels (lino).
I dropped a plate on it and put a hole in one of the panels.
Per chance, anyone know if a single panel can be replaced, without ripping up the whole (or a sizable section of the) floor? |

Those floors suck, don't they? We have them. They dent if you drop your keys on the floor.
I believe parts of them can be. I know when I lived in one place, the guy came in with a small jackhammer and changed out a few. You need to contact a flooring shop. Get a few different estimates. Please let us know what you find out. I'm also very curious. |

These are panels? If so you can probably take the damaged one out and replace it.
If you have the "roll out" faux wood, I was told it's not a big deal to damage it. It's relatively cheap to replace and is generally changed between tenants. It's something to make sure your landlord doesn't gouge you on. |
