Transport Damages Some are designed for general draught proofing and can be used on sash windows while others have been designed specifically for sash windows such as those available from Exiseal.co.uk. However, you should choose a putty colour that’s the closest match to your floorboards. This is because wood putty rarely absorbs stains. 2. Apply The Wood Filler Or Putty There are literally hundreds of beads, weather strips and draught excluders on the market today and they come in a great array of styles, designs, materials and applications including compressions strips (usually made from a foam-type substance or springy plastic material) such as those available from Draftfix.co.uk, bristle strips (usually featuring a bristle similar to a brush) and some even in a weather proof felt-like material.An additional advantage of Stopgap is that once it has been fitted the natural shadow of the gap itself will make it almost invisible to the eye ensuring that the natural finish of your floor is not in any way compromised. Papier Mâché If there are gaps in your floorboards, you could be losing money on your home’s heating and cooling. The gaps are acting as holes through which air can escape. Many professionals recommend using strips of wood cut to size and hammered into the gaps. However, it can be difficult and a little pricey. Continue this process for the whole of your floor until all of the gaps have been filled and then leave for an hour or so for all of the glue to dry. A poorly maintained sash window can cause draughts within a room space that can be the equivalent to a small open window, making your living space uncomfortable to be in and also wasting you money on your heating bills and impacting on the environment.

If you want something a little more inexpensive, you can try filling the gaps with a mixture of sawdust and glue or resin.Floorboard gaps are a natural part of having hardwood floors. The wood contracts in the dry, cooler months, then expands in humidity.

Timber floors contract and expand throughout the course of their life. These movements cause alternative floorboard sealants such as papier-mâché and in some cases also (especially over time) wood filler and silicon to become ineffective and lose their sealant value. DraughtEx will mimic the movement pattern of the timber and therefore remain in place retaining insulation. This is all very well but what are secondary glazing units I hear you ask! Well on a basic level its a window inside a window. Or you can find strips that are the right width and cut them to the appropriate length. Table saws require precision, but cutting length is much easier than cutting width. 3.

We moved into our 1890's Victorian terrace property in Jan '14 and it was evident after a few winter weeks that there was a draft coming through the gaps in the floorboards. As with most victorian properties the floorboards are laid on top of suspended joists, and the floorboards are not joined by a modern type of 'tongue and groove' method, hence gaps appearing between the boards. Let the dust mixture dry, then lightly sand the floorboards again to ensure you have an even surface. This time, you can sweep up and dispose of the sawdust from the sander. Although these options do have the advantage of being quite flexible, over time they will in most cases separate from the edge of the boards and eventually fall through the gap.
