What about the joint between the board and the wall?

The gap between the slab and the wall is a common problem, which may be caused by improper installation, wood deformation or structural changes of the house. Such a gap not only affects the appearance, but also may cause cold air to enter and waste energy. Therefore, measures must be taken to solve this problem.

First, we need to determine the size and location of the gap. If the cracks are less than 1/8 inches, they can be filled with sealing materials such as silicone, polyurethane foam or acrylic sealant. These materials can be purchased in the building materials market or hardware store, and cut or trimmed as needed to adapt to the size and depth of the gap.

For the bigger gap, more complex and effective solutions are needed. We can cover the gaps with wooden boards, polymer materials or plastic shells. These materials can be matched with wooden boards or walls to provide better appearance and protection. If the gap is between the floor and the wall, we can choose to cover it with baseboard or bottom plate.

Another simple and effective method is to install extension rods. These wooden strips can fill the gaps and provide some elasticity for the walls to reduce the natural expansion and contraction of wood. Expansion strips can be installed in a variety of ways, including bonding, screws and clamps. These strips perform well in many types of wood, wallboard and coatings, and can prevent peeling, cracking and shedding.

In addition, we can regularly clean and maintain the gaps between boards and walls to ensure that they can effectively fill and prevent future problems. We need to check and clean the sides to prevent the accumulation of deposits and dirt, which can reduce the influence of mechanical stress and dryness and prolong the life of materials.

In a word, the gap between the board and the wall is very common, but we can take many effective measures to solve this problem. We need to select materials suitable for specific cracks, carry out accurate installation and proper maintenance to ensure lasting effects.
