I have a question.
My linoleum engineered flooring is lifting over a length of 10 cm (4 inches) and a width of about 5 mm (0.2 inches) in a joint area of the substrate due to water exposure. In this joint area, the linoleum is raised about 1 mm (0.04 inches).
Is there a special adhesive I can use to reattach the damaged area and also seal the gap of approximately 1 mm (0.04 inches)?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Product: Click-lock linoleum flooring from OBI
Age: approx. 3 years
Conditions: The flooring is installed in the entrance area of a medical practice, exposed to water from wet shoes.
Only the linoleum layer has come loose from the carrier layer (it can be pressed back with a finger, and the carrier material has not swollen).
I don’t have any pictures, as it concerns a small gap that would not be visible in a photo.
Thank you very much for your help

hello,
joints up to about 3mm (0.1 inches) can be welded. this prevents further water penetration but will be visible afterwards.
my recommendation for entrance areas is to use dirt traps. these capture dirt particles and moisture and reduce the transfer of dirt into other rooms by up to 90%. you can install dirt traps permanently or use mats placed on existing flooring.
best regards
