We have laminate floor in our hallway, living room and 2 bedrooms.
My Dp stepdad and his mate laid the floor for us for about £500. Frankly it's a bit shoddy but that's a whole other thread.
Recently, it's started to raise in different parts of the rooms, like there is trapped air or something under there, so we are bouncing around on them when walking from room to room. Now Dp said gaps were purposely left to make way for the wood to swell as it gets hot and cold but I find it a bit odd?
Dp's stepdad also laid dpm's floor and in the 4ish years we've been together I've never seen their floors raise like ours.
Dp is very defensive of the work done as I told how unimpressed I was at the originally work done but was told they were doing us a favour so we should be grateful so I daren't have a moan about this, he's clearly noticed it too.
My question is, is this normal? And will it keep doing this as the weather changes?
Thank you.
