Product Information

While it may be like wood, it isn’t wood; meaning it can get scratches, dents, floor gaps, and damage from moisture. We have some ways to prevent that from happening, but what if your laminate floors are already damaged? Are there any solutions to that? Yes, there are. Remove any extra glue. With a moist towel, dab the glue, pushing up through the crevices in the freshly healed gap. Then go over the joint until no residue remains. Buy a caulk that matches the color of your floorboards. For indoor projects, the best caulk to get will either be latex or acrylic latex caulk (acrylic latex is the stronger among the two). Warping or swelling due to exposure to moisture and liquid spills. Unlike real wood, laminate cannot recover its shape once it has swollen. The Gorilla Wood Glue Ultimate recipe is 100% waterproof and extremely strong, but it cleans off simply with water. Excellent for exterior applications where heat or moisture may be an issue, as well as indoor tasks that may benefit from the prolonged working period and high strength.

Flooring did not acclimate before installation: You should allow laminate floorboards to rest in the room where they will be installed for 48 to 72 hours before placing them, so that they can adjust to the temperature and humidity in your home. If you install boards too soon, they will continue to acclimate in place, and this can cause gaps. With an infant and a toddler at home, I found that free time is hard to come by. The second time gaps appeared, I searched the Internet for a tool and found a lot of people with the same problem and few good solutions. I decided to try to develop a tool that would make the process easier and less time consuming. The Floor Gap Fixer was the result of a lot of material research and several prototypes.

Why Do Gaps Appear Between Vinyl Flooring in the First Place? 

If there was only one gap, you are done. If, however, there are more gaps in your floor or closing up the main gap caused other areas to open up, you may need to repeat the process. Work toward the nearest wall so that the last remaining gap is next to the wall. To stabilize the planks in the center of the flooring and to ensure that new gaps open up toward the wall, have someone stand on or place a heavy object on the plank toward the center of the floor. This will encourage the gaps to move toward the wall. 6. Conceal the Final Gap Open your bar clamps and place them face down on top of the gap fixers so that the grips rest on the outside edges of the long sides of the gap fixers, with the gap running at a 90-degree angle intersecting the clamps. You will want one clamp on the left-hand side of the gap fixers and one on the right-hand side, as if the gap fixers are ladder rungs and the clamps are the ladder sides. The object is to use the bar clamps to squeeze the gap fixers together to shrink the gap in between. 3. Tighten the Bar Clamps

If you clean it with a damp cloth after every use and use the protective cover, it should last for many years. You should fix your vinyl flooring gaps because it will be expensive to replace the floor, it is cheap and easy to fix it yourself, and it will probably happen again. To fix the gaps, you can either use a floor gap fixer, epoxy resin, or leftover vinyl and wood pieces. Apply a moderate amount of force when you’re moving the iron on the cloth. Do this for about 3 minutes till you see the steam dissipate.
