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.
More photos for context:
Those “planks” don’t have the right proportions for laminate flooring. It kind of looks like large format tile. Can you confirm? It would have a huge impact on how to properly fix it.
There’s no give or flexibility to these. I’d say tile of some sort. Here are the sides and bottom:
I just saw the other pictures of what it looks like under the tiles. That’s a proper mess. You can probably temporarily fix that, but it doesn’t look like it was properly installed at all. Unfortunately fixing it correctly will most likely involve redoing the entire room.
It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but this is how I’m leaning as well.
An alternative, you can install a temporary landing, since it’s by a door. Transitions are a solution I use when I needed a patch of floor done. Whole floors get expensive even if you diy.
