How to fill gaps in door frame?

[karmadra]

I have noticed visible gaps between doorframes and floor? Any recommendations/suggestions on what would be the best way to fill in those gaps?

Thank you.

Hi @karmadra,

For gaps between the doorframe and the floor that are reasonably minimal, the easiest and most effective solution is to use a white flexible caulking. Flexible caulk works well because it can move slightly with the house or floor without cracking, and it gives a clean, finished look.

Before applying, make sure to tape off both the flooring and the edge of the doorframe to protect them from excess caulk and ensure neat lines. Apply a steady bead of caulk along the gap with a caulking gun, then smooth it out using a finger dipped in soapy water. This helps create an even finish and prevents the caulk from sticking to your skin.

Once it has cured, you’ll have a neat, flexible seal that fills the gap and improves the appearance without the need for more invasive fixes like trimming or adding trim strips.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
