Wood is a natural product. Its cells and tissues are affected by temperature fluctuations, plus the balance of moisture levels with the surrounding. As such, they will expand and contract accordingly. For instance, high temperatures and high humidity cause the floorboards to absorb the moisture and expand. The reverse happens in the opposite conditions. This needs to have been taken into account during the installation process, otherwise things end up getting messy. Boards expanding or contracting excessively will cause unsightly gaps. There are also those cases when the wood boards absorb moisture from the sub-floor when it lacks sufficient damp proofing. Gaps also form when there is improper acclimation before the installation. For instance, there could have been insufficient expansion gaps left around the interior, impeding the light movement that occurs during normal temperature fluctuations.In cases of improper fitting especially during DIY projects, the boards may not have been laid in such a way to enable them to fit snugly with the neighboring boards, which causes separation and gap formation over time. However, this doesn’t mean that you will be forced to rip out the boards. Take care of the gap problems with the Chimiver Ecofill Tech Gap Filler.
