GAP FILLING SOLUTIONS

THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO FILLING GAPS, SOME FLOORS ARE JUST REALLY NOT SUITABLE TO TAKE FILLER AT ALL, FLOORBOARDS CAN WORK LOOSE OVER TIME, SOME FLEX WHEN WALKED ON AND SEASONAL CHANGE MAKES THE BOARDS EXPAND AND RETRACT, ALL OF WHICH MAKE SAWDUST/RESIN FILLER RISE UP AND GET VACUUMED OUT OR ELSE IT JUST DROPS FROM THE GAP, WATERBASED RESINS TEND TO BE SLIGHTLY MORE FLEXIBLE THAN SOLVENT OR SPIRIT BASED COUNTERPARTS, BUT EVEN SO CANNOT BE GUARANTEED, SAYING THIS, WE ALSO SEE SAWDUST/RESIN FILLER STAY IN FOR YEARS.

WOOD FILLETS ALSO KNOWN AS SLIVERS ARE ALSO NOT ALWAYS THE IDEAL SOLUTIONS AS WITH RETRACTION FLEX OR MOVEMENT CAN CRACK THE GLUE AND MAKE THE SLIVER PING OUT OF THE GAP WHICH IS MOST ANNOYING AND NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE GOOD.

ABOVE : FILLING WITH MASTIC COLOURED FILLER

A RATHER EXPENSIVE BUT FAR MORE EFFECTIVE SOLUTION IS COLOURED FLOOR MASTIC, KNOWN AS FLOOR FUDGE IN THE TRADE, THIS CAN BE SQUEEZED INTO GAPS UP TO 12MM AND SOME BRANDS CAN EXPAND AND RETRACT UPTO 15%, IT WILL EVEN SECURE LOOSE BOARDS IN PLACE.

ALL OPTIONS HAVE DIFFERENT QUIRKS AND PRICES WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH YOU BEFORE A QUOTATION IS GIVEN.
