Every winter we get these gaps between the ends of the boards that get bigger, but never completely go away during the rest of the year. It's very localized, and these gaps don't appear anywhere else but this one spot near the base of the stairs going into the basement.
It's laminate flooring (quick-lock). The gaps are just a few boards away from a transition T going to another room, so presumably I could maybe remove the T and tap them back together with some force and add some glue to hopefully prevent this from happening again.
So the question is, is this abvisable or am I apt to screw up the floor by closing these gaps up?
