Board, today, as many years ago, is actively used in construction and many still prefer a board as a floor covering. It is of high quality and beautiful, but gaps may form over time and this problem must be solved in some way. And if no measures are taken in a timely manner, then it is highly likely that the floor will need to be completely changed in the near future. At the moment, there are several proven ways to close the cracks on the floor, this will greatly affect the durability of the coating. The peculiarity is that you do not need to have special skills and knowledge. But first you need to understand why cracks form in order to eliminate the cause in the first place, otherwise the problem will arise again.
Why do cracks form?
There are several main factors:
- Natural drying of the material. As you know, wood undergoes drying over time, but here the preparation and drying of the material plays a huge role.
- Indoor low humidity. If the house is dry enough, then the material will quickly lose moisture and will decrease in size.
- Incorrect flooring. Over time, the boards become loose and cracks form between the floorboards.
- Rodents appeared under the floor. Even the strongest and most reliable material can bite mice and rats over time.
- Use of raw wood. If a wet board was used, then with a high degree of probability this will lead to deformation and cracks.
How to solve a problem?
Defects must be approached thoroughly and today builders offer several effective options.
- Scotch. For minor damage, this is a budget option, but you need to use reinforced tape. The surface must first be cleaned and degreased. But it’s better to put a carpet or other coating on top of the adhesive tape, since the adhesive tape is not aesthetic.
- Foam. Most often it serves to eliminate the gaps between the wall and the floor. It is necessary to previously dismantle the baseboard and prepare the surface.
- Putty. If we are talking about minor defects, then this is also a good option. But it is important to use a special composition for wood processing.
- Glue composition. This option is also suitable for large gaps, in addition to glue wood sawdust is used. The composition is applied with a spatula.
- Sealant for wood. The composition is distributed evenly over the entire surface thanks to a special nozzle. The material is elastic, so it will not come off the surface of the board.
