Floor creek (kraak)
16 Dec, 2024 @ 08:07:18 amMy Sprite Strata floor creeks, squeak, just makes a noise when I walk on it… how can I fix this…?
thanks
05 Jan, 2025 @ 17:20:59 pmI trust that your caravan is a relative old one (more than 8 years). Between the floor and the steel frame and chassis there is normally foam type substance with wax in it. This help to absorb movement of the floor on the steel. Over the years this tend to dry out and thats when the squeeking starts.
Crawl in under the caravan and push a screw driver in between the wood and the steel. Then apply sikaflex in the gaps. DO NOT REMOVE THE SCREW DRIVER UNTILTHE SIKAFLEX HAS SET FULLY.
Also when applying the sikaflex leave gaps so that if water splash in there it can somehow come out again. In other words do not seal of everything.
Remove the screw driver(s).Now you will have a barrier between the wood and the steel again.

12 Jan, 2025 @ 10:57:02 amLeon, hoe groot moet jy die gaping maak om die Sikaflex in te druk?
Druk jy die Sikaflex soveel dat dit sê bv 5cm lang stuk die spons vervang?
5 days ago @ 12:19:25 pmPetrus. Jy moet maar kyk hoe hoog jy die vloer kan lig deur 'n dik skroewe draaier in te druk.
2-3mm behoort genoeg te wees. Wend/druk die sikaflex dan in die gap maar los die skroewe draaier in totdat die sikaflex geset het dan eers haal jy dit uit. Anders gaan die vloer die sikaflex net uitdruk.
Soos jy sê 5cm stroke waar jy die vloer effe kan lig behoort te werk. Dis maar om daai spons te vervang. Onthou om alles nie af te dig met die sikaflex nie. water wat inspat moet kan uit kom. Wind sal dit uitwaai as jy weer op droë pad sou ry.
