Flooring is by no means beneath me, but I haven’t really done anything below a shoe molding. So question for the tile high club: What would you do in the pictured situation? These are floor sections that have always felt a bit “squishy”. Today they finally popped up into the tent formation you see here.

Wait for it to settle and then add glue to keep it down? Cut it to fit?

Additional context:

I did not do this install myself, so the history is a bit of a mystery. This is installed in a full bathroom and is made of what feels like a smoothed slate material. I believe it is a composite tile.

    This is wood right? If so, wood floor does expand/shrink a bit depending on temperature. It looks like maybe it wasn’t cut to the right size and needs to be shaved down ⅛-¼ inch to fit property.

      I’ve updated the original post, but no, not wood. Seems like a smoothed slate, I’d assume artificial material.

        It’s probably bamboo flooring looking at the pattern but it might be laminate made to look like bamboo.
