Closing the Gap between floorboards

Closing the Gap between floorboards

Hello!

Looking for tips on closing gaps in floating floor panels - don't wanna pull it all apart and start again. There's just a few of them in a hallway near the kitchen. This is where we started and where most errors appeared as we were complete novices at the time with regards to floating floor.

Hard to see on the photograph - but they're (the gaps) probably only half a millimetre.

They're 10mm boards and not of a high quality. As we learnt we got better and had no problems, but when we went back to where we started we could see where we went wrong.

 

I'm thinking of utilising friction > large L plate steel, rubber and a sledgehammer.  :smile:

But before I try that I'd like to hear other ideas....

 

Cheers

Graeme and Jule.

Re: Closing the Gap between floorboards

Thanks for the welcome Jason. I have been browsing through workshop postings for a while now and seen some great ideas and hints. I must start documenting & photographing some of my own in future in case they have some shareable aspects to post here. It's a great community to be a part of. I'll be glad to consult you for any assistance in using it.
