[B]We went on holiday for three and a half weeks and due to a thermostat error the heating was in full blast. Our oak floorboards have shrunk to cause a separation in the floor in many areas. Some gaps are a good 1.5cm and shows the floor below. The floor has been down for years and is solid oak with a light varnish.
Does anyone know how to restore the floorboards? How do we encourage them to go back to their original state?[/B]Read More
I am considering putting laminate in my Kitchen. I've researched how to keep the floor sealed using PVA Type II glue but am concerned about under the cabinets.
If the Laminate floor only goes under the cabinets just past the toe kick, then any moisture that leaks (say from the faucets or drain) would go under the cabinet and collect under the laminate and wouldn't be discovered for a long time.
Can someone tell me how to alleviate this problem? Ideas in how to get the laminate installed with moisture protection?Read More
