Most people say not to fill gaps between the boards in your hardwood timber floor due to it cracking and falling out over time.. HOWEVER Berger-Seidle Pak Stop has changed the game!
This is a unique, extreme-performance, high-elastic flexible trowel filler for closing wide joints 💪🏻
First we sand the timber floor back to get her flat and level. We then remove all the old gunk from in between the gaps. A quick vacuum and we are ready to mix up the Pak Stop and Pafuki Powder (various colours available to match your floor). So satisfying trowelling this product on!! After its dry we sand it back again before coating with Berger-Seidle AquaSeal range 👌🏻
And we are DONE! Beautiful!

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! I'm thinking if I do this I might clean out the gaps first before sanding at all, trowel on the filter, then sand everything at the end and seal. But that's because I'm nervous about removing too much floor depth... I've read that historically they used to reuse old worn out nautical ropes from ships. The ropes had oil in them to make them water resistant and durable. When they were too worn to be used at sea anymore, they would uncoil them and pack the fiber strands into the gaps between floors. This would help prevent drafts while also filling the unsightly spaces between the boards. These are still sold today by a few shops! A bonus is that you can also stain the rope fibers to match your boards.

Oakum with modern 2 pak polyurethane? or oil? because urethane will not like the oil in the oakum. I would use the cleanest sanding dust mixed with wood glue to make a paste to fill the gaps if the black fill was structurally sound still. if not oakum soaked in epoxy boat resin and finished in epoxy or 2 pack would be good imo. Also dont be afraid about sanding too much just get it to the point that you are happy with the levels (cross hatching sanding patterns help a lot) and go over it with the finer grades of sand paper to get a nice finish. good luck.

@@bywonline there are many flooring companies that still sell Eastern White Pine as the main floor covering. In fact a place near me in Vermont says "For more than 250 years, eastern white pine has been the flooring of choice in this region. Eastern white pine's humble charm is perfect for a casual home. The species' slow growth results in a tight, smooth, inconspicuous grain pattern with occasional large knots." I've seen others state it is fine for bedrooms, but they advise a harder wood for high traffic areas. I tore up my "subfloor" as you call it, and underneath it there is a subfloor layer and then the joists. You can call it subfloor if that makes you happy, but that was clearly not the intention when they laid, stained and sealed the floor.

That’s what the people who finished our floorboards did. It looks amazing, but I would have had no objections to using a filler like in this vid. The gaps were pretty large, though. I assumed there was a reason they went for the strips of wood. They did an excellent job. 11 years later, apart from one spot where I left a steam cleaner on accidentally (leaving a white patch I haven’t been able to get rid of), and one short board that had split (I put that down to wear and tear) the boards look as great as they did when new. They have yellowed a bit, but we were told that would happen.

These gaps look fairly normal to me (I'm living in a 200 years old house). Even concrete and screed expand and buckle slightly when heating up, which you can see if tiles are laid without giving them expansion joints. They might even crack. Got a tiled floor example of that. So, filling these gaps between the wooden planks will only work it the material is flexible enough. Otherwise, you will have a DIY problem.

Historically, from the fireplace mantle style and board width I’d guess the house is from the 1860s. Back then that soft white pine floor would have been covered with large area rugs or stitched and stapled carpet strips. That surface was never intended by the original builders to be seen or “finished”. The popular sanded and polyurethaned treatment is a historically inaccurate modern fantasy of how old floors looked.

Yea the author and most the commenter's don't seem to realize it's subfloor from before composite boards. Has the ugly nails and gaps, they are missing the actual floor.

They built it all with green wood from the area. It's had 124 years to dry out and shrink. I still wouldn't use this stuff unless I could test it first, though.

This is subfloor, it requires movement to prevent tenting. Cover it with proper flooring material.

If the wood moves at all it will eventually pop back out unless you put down like a Glitsa two part clear coat system with double sealer coats and one top coat is your best chance.otherwise I would recommend 6 coats of oil based polyurethane to create basically a plastic top coat to hold it all down ❤

My house is 200 years old and we have wide pine floors, when I refinished them I used wide cordage soaked in the same color stain and after 2 days of soaking I then stuffed it in the gap’s and secured it with crown staples. Then applied the stain and polyurethane and it looks amazing. My wife refuses to change the windows as she loves the old leaded glass so I have begun refinishing them and despite they have zero insulation there is something about the look that can’t be reproduced. Our home maybe old and right now I am sanding and replacing the trim and other things that need attention, I am happy to say that I have zero PVC on my home. Everything is wood or stone and by far better built than some of my customers newer homes. It’s been hard work but it will be worth it when I get done in a few more weeks!
