Pine Floorboard Slivers – 6mm & 8mm

Pine Floorboard Slivers – 6mm & 8mm

Pine Floorboard Slivers are solid pine timber repair strips designed for filling gaps between traditional wooden floorboards during floor restoration and renovation. Available in two sizes, 6mm and 8mm, they provide a practical, durable and natural-looking solution for repairing gaps in older timber floors.

These wooden slivers are particularly useful when restoring traditional pine flooring, where gaps have developed between boards due to age, timber shrinkage and seasonal movement. Unlike conventional fillers, timber slivers provide a solid wood repair that can be trimmed, sanded and finished alongside the surrounding floorboards.

Why Choose Pine Floorboard Slivers?

Traditional wooden floorboards frequently develop gaps as the timber expands and contracts over time. Larger gaps can be difficult to repair using conventional wood fillers alone.

Pine slivers provide a substantial solid timber repair, allowing the gaps to be filled with real wood rather than a thick layer of filler. Once installed and sanded, the repaired sections can be finished together with the existing floor for a more natural appearance.

Important Information

This product is available in two separate size options: 6mm and 8mm. Select the required size before purchasing.

Floorboard gaps may vary in width and some slivers may require trimming to achieve a suitable fit. As pine is a natural material, colour and grain variation should be expected.

Do not use timber slivers to restrain necessary structural or expansion movement in the flooring.
