Laminte Stone floors

last year

Our floors are peeling off the top layer -we thought they were solid stone and now we realize it is just a veneer of stone. It sometimes bubbles before a patch starts to peel away. Please help us it is all over the house.

It's spalling because someone stuck a thick plastic film forming sealer on it that, which trapped moisture. The hydrostatic pressure is booting off that coating. It needs to be fully stripped, then have a more breathable impregnating sealer/enhancer applied.

Is this laminate over a cement floor?

Isn’t this just slate with delaminating layers?

That looks like stone that is spalling. Likely a moisture problem of moisture wicking up through the slab & stone and being blocked by sealer on the stone. Note the white mineral salt deposits.

No way is that a laminate floor.

I agree, its a moistue issue, which is why I asked about a cement floor above. It didnt really look like laminate to me either, but, bubbling sure sounds like moisture.

Phone 2-3 different floor installers (look in Yelp or Angie's) and ask them to come over to give you estimates. They will know what the problem is and what needs to be done to fix it.
