We had a laminte floor installed in kitchen, hallway and front foyer (all continuous flow to each other) about 2 years ago. About 3 months in we had a few boards replaced in the area in question due to a large scratch from the kids.
In the hallway section we now have 4 gaps in adjoining rows of end to end sections. Living in Minnesota, I am wondering if these gaps will "close" on their own as the temps and humidity return with spring and summer or if I can tap from the ends to try to get them to close (the gaps are about 10 feet from either end - so right in the middle of course).
Example: (| is the gap)
