Fitting Gapseal
Preparation
If you are fitting Gapseal to existing floorboards you should make sure that the gaps between boards are free from debris. This can be removed by either loosening with a plastic implement, or for floors that have been previously sealed by another method, a metal implement such as a screwdriver might be more appropriate. Care should be taken to avoid any electrical wiring that may be hidden under the floor.
There is no need to completely empty the room, simply move furniture and rugs to one side temporarily as required.
For normal length floorboards
 |
Leaving the roll in the bag pull out the gapseal and start to push into the floorboard gap as shown. |
 |
Push into floorboard gap using your fingers, the material naturally folds into a "V" shape, so this part is very easy once started |
 |
Finally use an old credit card or similar implement to push the gapseal below the level of the floorboards and out of sight. An ideal place for Gapseal to sit is on top of the joists underneath your floorboards |
For smaller sections of floorboard
 |
Pull out a strip of gapseal and cut to length accordingly. Fold into the "V" shape and push into gap as above. |
