Water damage laminate

Wesekn.

Hi
I had a minor flood in the kitchen where I had laminate stacked upright

The ends were damp and I pulled off the plastic wrapping

Will the ends warp or what happens usually in that situation thanks

They are most likely ruined tbh. But you might have got lucky. Leave them sit out individually in a dry room and check back on them in a week.

Maybe trim the damaged ends off them!

Ya I figure they'll warp or whatever

I'm not talking major flooding just wet at the ends of the flooring

The ends are likely finished at a bit of an angle and they'll have the connections for joining to adjacent boards so you won't be able to just cut bits off or your floor will look ridiculous and won't be fitted correctly (i.e. you'll have loose boards that move when you walk on them).

youll only get away with that if the end is facing a wall.

stacked up right mean the are probably bowed a bit anyway.
The faux timber swells when it gets wet, no way back
