Wooden Floors, due being a natural product, expand and contract when exposed to
moisture. To help minimise boards from 'gapping' it is important to first acclimatise
prior to installation. When you're ready to install your floor apply glue to the
first three rows and allow them to dry.
Make sure they are good and tight. Let those rows dry before you proceed with the
rest of the floor.
With loc system floors this is not an issue, you can lay your floor straight
away without waiting for any glue to dry.
Maintain your floor correctly. Please read our guildlines before carrying out
maintenance. It is important not to expose your floor to water as this is the main
cause of gapping.
Finally, control the mositure condition of the area, maybe heating the area consistently,
or using a dehumidifier if extreme.
