Description
Above: Fitting the pine slivers.
Above: A before and after shot of a regular
wood floor and one the Slivered and sanded floor.
Aren’t natural wooden floors lovely? With the variety of
grains that enhance the diversity of nature, something not available
in mass-produced floors.
The only problem with natural wood flooring is that modern heating
and house movement causes boards to retract and expand, causing
natural shrinkage and leaving gaps between each
board. These collect dust and hair – an issue
for those who clean the house. Gaps in floorboards can also
result in draughts and creaking. Now…
Imagine if you could fill those gaps quickly and easily –
and get a professional looking natural wooden floor without the
gaps?
Well... now you can, because The Old
Pine Company have created a solution...
We’ve invented the Sliver, which is used to fill the
gaps, helping to prevent dust build up and giving you the chance
to create a professional-looking floor with minimal fuss.
What's more, if you have a pipe under the floor board, or squeaky
boards, rather than nailing it you can put a Sliver in.
The majority of fillers start to shrink, change colour and fall
out.
So, the Old
Pine Company has invented the solution to filling gaps you've
been looking for...
The Old Pine Sliver... a wedge of reclaimed pine that fills
gaps, prevents dust and takes applications of varnish or water-borne
sealer finish (which keep floors their natural colour). So you can
fill gaps quickly and easily, with minimal fuss!
"We used to put pieces of wood
into gaps that were straight, but came up with the wedge solution
to fill the gaps in wood, as we realised this would fit any gap,
no matter what the shape or size of the wood flooring. Alternative
fillers would also fall out."
Explains proprietor,
Richard.
In a nutshell

for our recommended instructions for Slivering, see: Instructions
for fitting Slivers below.
The Old Pine Sliver is made from genuine old reclaimed
floorboards.
Use the OLD PINE Sliver to give your floor that professional
finish.
Slivering fills the gaps in between wooden boards with wedges
made of old reclaimed wood.
Seals better
Stops draughts - no cold air through gaps
Stops odours
Tightens floors up, keeping it solid
No visible edges
Gives a lasting and satisfying finish to your floor
The Old
Pine Sliver is the ideal way to fill those gaps and easy
to use:
1) Glue each side of the Sliver
2) Bang into place with a hammer
3) Take of any excess
4) Sand
The Old Pine Slivers are available in others
sizes:
Re-nail floor, punching all nail heads
into the floor 3-4mm deep
Step 2:
Clean joints out carefully, taking
care not to catch any electric cables/water pipes, etc
Step
3:
Take
the wedges (“Slivers”), place them into
the joints (ie. the gaps between the boards) to check
that the Sliver ‘seems at home’.
Remove Sliver and
put glue down each side.
Now place Sliver into
the gap, take a hammer and bounce it up along the Sliver,
forcing it into the gap. The further it goes in, the
better. The Slivers will squash the boards up.
Step 4:
Continue in this way, filling in the
gaps, hammering all the Slivers until the whole room is
tight and filled. Leave it to dry for a minimum of 4 hours,
ideally overnight if possible.
Step
5:
Next,
with a sharp chisel, cut the tops of the Slivers off
level with the floor. If the glue has been left to harden
overnight, you can kick the Slivers off, leaving the
joints filled.
Once this is completed,
clean it all up and the room is ready for sanding.
Step 6:
Sand the floor yourself or have The
Old Pine Company sand your floor for you to leave it dust
free.
