Wooden flooring fits harmoniously into any interior.

However, sometimes the residents of an apartment where the floors are covered with this material are least concerned about the issue of aesthetics.

It is replaced by a pressing problem in the form of an annoying creaking sound emitted by the floorboards.

Of course, the most effective option that will help get rid of the annoying sound once and for all is a major overhaul with floor replacement.

But if renovation is not in your immediate plans, it is worth using another method.

So, you can temporarily get rid of the creaking using polyurethane foam.

All you need to do is insert the tube into the joint between the decking and joists and squeeze out the required amount of foam to fill the entire empty space.

Wait until the product dries completely, securely fixing the elements, after which you can safely step on the floorboards and enjoy the ringing silence.
