I am pulling up some laminate flooring so i can put a carpet down. Any idea what i can do with the laminate flooring?

I could just throw it away...but was hoping i could get £ something for it! :)

Look forward to your replies!

Can't see there being much of a market for second-hand laminate flooring..

Could use it in a garage if you have one with a concrete floor, the laminate would be nicer to stand on than the concrete.

What colour is it?

If it's a light colour, you could use half of it to build a Swedish style sauna and burn the other half in a bucket to product the heat.....If it's click-loc, then you could create an aquaduct into the burning bucket to produce the steam.

If I was any more enviromentally responsible, I'd be King of the world!

dont think its really worth anything second hand unless you have a friend that will give you £20 for it.

if it is good laminate maybe you could reuse it in another room.... i removed quickstep laminate from my front room and installed it in the study/office room, even tho its relayed it still looks/ fitted better than some of the cheap crap you can get

You can uplift Uniclic and re lay it up to 3 times.

with around 30% waste every time through cut panels damaged panels and further wastage in instalation on the third relaying you would be down[70% first relay 50% second 35% third]to 35% :lol:

yes agree with what you are saying although there is still the chance off 1 or 2 boards on a run removed for access giving "trouble" and not going back 100% and needing to be adjusted :lol: :cb

manufacturers always make excsesive claims on products as long as it says "up to" then its covered
but the fact they say "up to 3 times" means they think it will be beyond useable on attempt 3
on a new floor on a bench in a show room it will work easily with no wear and tear but in the real world a well used floor will with an area off say 10% removed for access or repair be lucky to go down without a few boards needing replacement or repair :lol:
