Filling floorboard gaps

Question

What's the best material to use to fill the gaps between old floorboards?

Marius · Answer

gaps, particularly in old, plank-style flooring, thin strips of wood, also known as 'slivers,' can be an effective solution

Sanjar · Answer

DraughtEx is the best material for draught proofing floorboards because its flexible properties allow it to compress and expand with the natural movement of the floorboard gap meaning it doesnt fall out over time.

Best way is to cut beveled strips off of a bit of wood glue and tap them into the gaps and when glue has dried trim off excess wood

Ted · Answer

It depends on the size of the gaps i have many times lifted the boards then cut and fitted a feature strip between boards, I have found most fillers full out over time and do not look as good

lecol 5500 is the best by far. You sand the floor, mix dust with glue the fill all gaps. the result is amazing

The best thing is a v groove call Stop gap.
Place this in between the gaps  along the joist 
Mix PVA and sawdust together, then fill the stop gap with this mix and wipe off with dunk cloth.
