If gaps appear, first verify that the room's temperature and humidity are within the manufacturer's recommended range. If the floor was installed without proper expansion gaps, it may be under tension. For floating floors, gaps can sometimes be tapped back together using a pull bar and tapping block if the locking mechanism is still intact.

How are gaps between planks addressed?
Gaps between planks are typically caused by improper subfloor preparation, failure to maintain expansion gaps, or changes in humidity and temperature. To address gaps, ensure the room temperature is stable, check for subfloor levelness, or use color-matched silicone caulk for minor aesthetic fixes.
