  1. The Reasons and Fixes for Gaps in Engineered Wood Flooring

  2. Reason Moisture: Wood is a natural material and it is susceptible to changes in moisture levels. If the humidity in your home is too high, the wood will swell and the gaps will widen. If the humidity is too low, the wood will shrink and the gaps will narrow.

  3. Fix Increase or Decrease The Humidity in Your Home: If the gaps are caused by moisture, you can try to increase or decrease the humidity in your home. If the humidity is too high, you can use a dehumidifier. If the humidity is too low, you can use a humidifier.

  4. Reason Improper Installation: If the flooring was not installed properly, there may be gaps between the boards. This is more likely to happen if the installer did not leave enough space for expansion and contraction.

  5. Fix Re-install The Flooring: If the gaps are caused by improper installation, you may need to re-install the flooring. This is a job that is best left to a professional.

  6. Reason Flaws in The Material: Even if the flooring was installed properly, there may be gaps between the boards if the material itself is flawed. This is more likely to happen if the wood was not properly dried or if it was damaged during shipping or installation.

  7. Fix Fill The Gaps: If the gaps in engineered timber flooring are small, you can fill them with wood filler. Be sure to use a wood filler that is the same color as your flooring.
