Hello @Norste 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your hybrid flooring installation.

 

It's possible that your flooring has not properly hooked on to the panel in front of it causing the panel to move. This also sometimes happens when you've only done two or three lines and the entire flooring accidentally is shifted by someone stepping on it. This causes the unfinished panels to shift as they are not locked in place yet.

 

I suggest going back to those panels that have moved and tapping them back into place using the tapping block. Please note that sometimes hand pushing is not enough, and it must be firmly locked in place using the tapping block.     

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to lay laminate flooring (the steps used are applicable to your hybrid flooring)

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
