Wood Floor Gap Filling

The main goals of effective restoration and repair of real wood floors are to improve not only their appearance but also their condition. Part of the repair process involves filling all gaps between the boards that occur over time due to the age of the floor, high traffic, and extensive use. Gap filling is a popular and effective process in many wood floor repair and maintenance projects. It can make a significant difference without requiring too much time, energy, or investment when done by experienced and knowledgeable professionals. The age of the majority of real wood floors is a major factor determining the regularity of gap-filling services. Filling the gaps is essential for ensuring the integral stability and improved appearance of the floor.

Benefits of Gap Filling

Gap filling ensures that all floorboards stay tight, secure, durable, and stable enough to last for decades. One of the main advantages of gap filling is the improved insulation it provides. Gaps in the floorboards can weaken the room's insulation, leading to poorer heating and higher heating bills in winter. Gap filling is a great solution to save money and keep your feet warm during the colder months.

Addressing Loose Boards

Loose boards are a common issue with wooden floors that appear over time and cause more than just squeaky and annoying noise. They also compromise the floor's safety and stability and contribute to the occurrence of gaps. Addressing these problems by professionally nailing or gluing down the boards is essential. A complimentary gap-filling service will enhance the durability of the floor, benefiting both newly restored and aged floors.

Professional Gap Filling Service

A professional gap filling service won't take too much time or money. The process is relatively simple and involves filling the gaps between the boards with a mixture of natural resin-based products and sawdust from the sanding service. Using sawdust from the floor ensures a perfectly blended and uniform look.

For gaps wider than 4mm, using wood slivers is a better solution than the resin and sawdust mixture. This alternative ensures amazing results and a blended, even appearance of the floor's surface. Once all the gaps are filled and the floor's stability is ensured, professionals can continue with sanding, refinishing, and other necessary repairs and restoration treatments. For a professional gap filling and a stress-free, enjoyable experience, contact our expert team at 020 88309782.
