Frequently Asked Questions
What causes gaps in wooden floors?
Gaps in wooden floors typically occur due to natural wood shrinkage and expansion caused by changes in humidity and temperature. Over time, this movement can create spaces between floorboards, which is a common issue in many homes.
Is gap filling a permanent solution for floorboard gaps?
Gap filling is a durable solution that significantly improves the floor’s appearance and comfort. However, as wood continues to respond to environmental changes, some movement may occur, so periodic maintenance might be necessary to keep the floor in optimal condition.
Can gap filling be done on all types of wooden floors?
Yes, Ipswich Floor Sanding can perform gap filling on various wooden floors, including solid wood, engineered wood, and parquet. We tailor our approach to suit the specific type and condition of your floor to achieve the best results.
