Rustic Floor Supply offers wood floor fillers at our Atlanta, Georgia location. Wood floor filler is a product used to fill in cracks, gaps, and other imperfections on the floor, helping to create a smoother, more finished appearance. This type of filler is typically used in areas such as end joints, knots, and other small cracks in the wood. It is known for its fast drying time, typically taking only 20-30 minutes to fully cure, and it is both sustainable and sandable after drying. While wood floor filler is available in a range of colors to match different species of wood, some materials may not have a specific shade of filler available. In these cases, you may need to mix fillers to achieve the desired color or use a product like wood dough to achieve a closer match. It’s important to note that wood filler is not designed to be elastic and may crack with movement.

Premixed Wood Floor Fillers
Premixed wood floor fillers are a convenient and effective solution for addressing imperfections on your floor in Atlanta, Georgia. These fillers are available in various colors to suit different wood species and are suitable for most types of flooring materials. However, in cases where the colors of premixed fillers don’t align with the flooring material, custom color matching may be necessary. When staining over filler, it’s crucial to ensure that the filler effectively takes on the stain color and blends seamlessly, avoiding any noticeable discrepancies.
It’s worth noting that wood floor filler, while designed to enhance the smooth and finished appearance of the floor, may occasionally require reapplication if it comes out during the final sanding process. Adhering to the appropriate application and maintenance procedures allows you to achieve a stunning, smooth floor with minimal effort.
Mixing Wood Floor Fillers
In certain situations, you may encounter a lack of premixed wood floor filler that complements the color of your flooring. In such cases, the solution is to employ a mixing filler to craft a custom blend. Mixing fillers typically utilize fine sanding dust and a specialized product like wood dough, enabling the creation of a customized filler that precisely matches the specific color of your floor. These fillers can come in either water-based or petroleum-based formulations, depending on the specific product you choose.
To apply a mixing filler, you simply blend the dust and the specialty product to reach the desired consistency and then trowel it onto the floor, following a similar process as you would with premixed filler. This type of filler can be stained and sanded, and it’s usually dry and ready for use within 20-30 minutes. Utilizing a mixing filler allows you to produce a custom wood floor filler that seamlessly matches the color of your flooring.
