How to correct the creaking floor boards (podlahové prkna)?
Your lining boards ( obkladové palubky ) may creak due a number of reasons such as incorrect nails, gaps between joist and floor, inadequate nail fittings, poor underlay installation, uneven subfloor, excessive moisture, and many others. Thus, in this guide, we are likely to discuss some helpful strategies you need to use to deal with these root causes which means that your flooring stops generating irritating sounds.



Inadequate nails fittings

The wooden planks haven't been affixed to the floor joist correctly, this may cause the planks to maneuver when being walked across. To resolve this dilemma, you first need to remove and screw off the nails and evaluate where they've gone wrong - the nails could have slipped out, missed the floor joist, or too far.

Incorrect nails

Using incorrect nails that aren't strong or long enough to keep the wood planks firmly hold altogether, it could cause creaking. To solve this problem, you've to screw or take away the nails and replace them with the proper nails that fit your boardings perfectly.



The gap between joist and subfloor

Creaking can also occur when there's so much gap between the subfloor and the joist. To affix this, you first need to check whether you are able to access the underneath of your floor boards (podlahové palubky) without lifting them off completely? If so, everything would become far too easy since all you'd should do is to use the carpenter's glue to a wood shim and embed it involving the subfloor and joist to fill the gap. However, you will need to make sure that the width of the shim is perfect otherwise the subfloor will raise a lot of, creating a bump in the flooring. On the other hand, if the gap has been generated as a result of shrinking or warping of the joist, install another timber plank alongside the shrunken joist to fill the gap. Again, evaluate the height of the newly installed plank thoroughly.
