Floorboard replacing
Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2012 1:24 pm
Hi everyone. First time on here.
I need to replace a length of floorboard which has split. The floorboard is original 1930's and the width (110mm) is not commercially available from Wickes etc.
I can get 94mm which would leave an 8mm gap each side. Would this be ok to fit as is or should I fill? The concern is overtime a dip would form in carpet that has been layed over the top.
To me the safest thing to do would be to fit pine slivers but am I just overcomplicating?
Obviously an alternative is try and get a reclaimed length with the same width but I'm not sure how reliable or long this would take?
Cheers
James
