Hi all,
I'm just moving into a new house (build c. 1800) with old, antique exposed floorboards. Obviously they look nice but they have gaps in between most of the boards. Some worse than others, but no more than 1cm at a guess.
Should I get them filled in? Or did you just live with them? I'm worried about dropping something down them!
I originally wanted to put carpet over it (especially in the bedrooms) but I was advised it might spoil the look of the house. Of course, I can put rigs down but it wouldn't cover the entire floor.
Did you have any problems with the gaps?
Finally, how do you clean such old boards??
Many thanks!
