Sealing Gaps Between Cabinets And Floor

[graphiteink 0]

Hi,

My carpenter used small pieces of plywood to level the storage cabinets, kitchen cabinets, and wardrobe base against the floor.

Because of this, there is a small gap between the floor and the wardrobe/cabinet.

I am thinking of sealing that gap, so that no insects/pests/ants can hide in there.

Has anyone done that?

What do you use to seal those gaps?

Or do you all just leave the small gap as it is?

Thanks in advance!

If your contractor still working on your house, ask them to seal up the gap.

If not, you had to find ur ways to seal up..

The contractor should know. They use expanding foam and silicon if I am not wrong. My contractor did it for the gaps without me asking.

Hi,

Thank you for the replies.

They did seal the gaps between cabinet/wardrobe and wall, but not the gaps between them and the floor.

I think I will leave it for now, as I read that moisture can seep through unsealed floor grouting to the base of the cabinet and the gap and allow moisture to escape. Am not sure how accuarate this is though, but I would rather leave it than have moisture damage the cabinet/wardrobe base.

Thanks anyway!
