Fix the gaping flaws in your floors

These are usually due to two reasons. The first is when you sand and polish a timber floor that was carpeted. If the gap is small, it can be filled with a matching flexible sealant or cover it with timber moulding. Or, if your house is masonry and old, the gap could be the result of floors supported on piers subsiding independently of the walls. This gap is best covered by a quad moulding fixed to the floor that can slip up and down the skirting as the floor moves between wet and dry seasons, keeping the gap covered.
