Flooring gaps
Several factors can lead to flooring developing gaps. Humidity plays a key role, and often floors that were installed during a period of high humidity then later develop gaps as a result of humidity levels reducing. Humidity levels drop in the cooler months when central heating is turned back on. A seasonal gap should normally close back up.
Excessive and large gaps however can develop for a variety of reasons:
Excessive moisture
High humidity
Too close to heating source
Incorrect nail spacing
Subfloor deficiencies
