This is more than 5 years after you posted the video so you're probably not answering questions. But here's one in case someone sees this and knows what to do. I have a hardwood floor in an old house. Probably oak flooring. So if I use this method which means use the pine slivers, then sand everything and stain it, won't the pine take the stain differently from the oak and be very visible? Is there such thing as oak slivers? Or what to do? I definitely don't want different colored strips in my floor.

Where did you get the slithers. I have an inch or 2 inch gaps. Was thinking of using circular saw to cut 2-3ich slithers not sure how easy to cut tiny floor board slithers

The best video I’ve found regarding what has happened to the floors in my apartment. I know now that the wood expanded and whom ever filled in the gaps didn’t do a harsh job! When I sweep the floors the small wood that filled in the gaps comes up smh.

What is he using to put in between the gaps? Is it the same kind of wood as the floors? Or just basic shims (or similar) from a hardware store?

Not really need glueing in. If you need to lift in the future multi tool them with a straight edge. Maybe use the Draughtex which is covered in one of my other vids 👍

Thanks so much, this is the kind of fix I've been thinking of and have been searching for all week - we have an old wood floor covered with linoleum and I really didn't want to just hide it with new linoleum again, and I was curious if this would work as it has some very large gaps 👍

Great video!! I have a question if you don't mind answering! Should I keep the new slivers of wood in the house for some time before installing them? As well some of our floorboards have gaps and some are tight up against each other. Is it okay to only fill the gaps and not the others? Thanks so much!

Yes definitely let them acclimatise. If it's tight leave them alone.

Hmmm. Seems like a very 'permanent' solution. I have cables, pipes etc under the boards that might need to be ripped out in the future. I've found original jute cord used as caulking between some of the boards. Would that work too?

Great demo. I've only uncovered a very small area in my dining room, but the light from the basement shines through quite well. It's very likely the entire house needs gaps filled. I wasn't sure what to do about them, but now I follow your directions and be able to take up the floating floors & carpet and bring back some of the original charm to the floors. Thanks so much!

Thanks for great information I’ve been debating for years and years to find away to deal with this problem in the bedroom after we had the central heating was put in & the heating guys ripped up the boards and left one with huge gap and it would be the most obvious place directly in front of the door too , I’ve tried various things including foam tube thing but it just falls through and then I up buying a new carpet But now I’m going to use the slivers you’ve linked to even though I really only want about 6 in total hay ho I just sell the unwanted back on eBay I love how you’ve done the bit around the hearth now what time can you come to sort out mine 🤣🤣
