first of all i would want to know why click type floooring has opend up!!

if its just a mistake and it was open when laid
then woodfiller either neutral or pine should do the job and be virtualy invisible on beech ;)

if your assembling flooring make shure your not catching the underlay in the groove
also check their is no crud in the groove

i hope you have a nice expansion gap all round :LOL: ;)
 
thanks but i have tried wood filler.
the gap is too narrow to fill it with wood filler and it goes all on the side and nor in the gap
 
mmm you use your finger
its the one part ready mixed very smooth type and should be virtualy imposible to notice

is the floor now stable and not mooving if its not stable may cause problems

how exactly did the wood filler fail to work then
 
1.it happened when the floor was laid
2. the wood filler was not smooth
3. the floor is not moving further
 
the filler should be only a few shades away from the colour off the floor
then it will fade in

what exactly was this wood filler called :cry:

click-systems (specially the thin ones on Melamine Lamianted) can open up when you make a sharp turn on the boards (like at the bottom of the stairs in a hallway, stepping of the last thread and turning around on the ball of your foot, hope you get the idea).
