I am trying to repair formica laminated flooring. I took their measurement and the length is 50 and half inches. I checked Pergo website and their slabs are 47 and half inches. Their flooring is natural oak finish and simulated 3 pieces in one slab.
If anybody has similar flooring and remember the manufacturer, would you check the length and reply? The flooring buckled because most likely they were installed without the expansion space. Thank you in advance.

If you remove a piece, won't the manufacturer be printed on the back?

Thank you for the reply. Actually, I don't want to cut anything out unless I can find a match. I did assume it was HD bought and told the HO that it can be repaired, but they are acquaintances and they won't hold it against me if match can not found. Whoever installed it left no expansion space and no extra piece. Buckling is severe in some spots so that joints have failed and one piece is sticking out. Still can be walked on but HO wanted some repair. I think repair is possible even in this case and HO knows repair will not be like new. I am, however, beginning to lean toward telling them repair is not possible. I thought about it some more and trying to leave the glued tongue and grooves intact and matching warped pieces to straight pieces is just asking for dissatisfied customer.
I would appreciate any annecdotes from experience. How the glued tongue and groove survive the attempts to separate the joints?
Thank you again in advance.
I have never repaired a laminate floor. However I think glued laminate is a thing of the past, all brands are now click together. Sounds to me like a full replacement is in order. Mike

Thank you for reply. I think as well. The HO says yesterday that the flooring was not bought from HD. The installer bought them, possibly Lumber Liquidators from mention of the town. At this point the chance of finding a match is remote.
