I am thinking of slapping some laminate flooring down over the old, scruffy floorboards of my house prior to selling it. However, I feel a little guilty considering the problem it is bound to present to anyone wanting access to the under-floor space (say to modify the plumbing or the wiring). Is there anything with a similar appearance and price that allows easier access to the floorboards underneath?
Failing that, are there any tricks of the trade for removing a section of laminate flooring, temporarily, to gain access to the floorboards underneath - such that the section can be relaid without obvious re-joining showing up?
Thank you,
Drake
