How long is each piece of beading?

Can this beading accommodate flooring expansion?
Yes, by covering the expansion gap, it allows the flooring to expand and contract naturally without being restricted.
How do I clean and maintain the beading?
Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will typically need a measuring tape, a fine-tooth saw (preferably with a mitre box for accurate cuts), and fixings such as nails or adhesive.
Is this beading suitable for DIY installation?
Yes, with basic carpentry skills and the right tools, DIY installation is feasible. Ensure accurate measurements and cuts for the best finish.
Troubleshooting
Beading does not sit flush against the wall
Check if the skirting board is uneven or if the flooring has expanded unevenly. Adjust fixings or consider adding a thin shim behind the beading if necessary.
Difficulty cutting the beading cleanly
Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw and a mitre box for precise, clean cuts. Clamp the beading securely before cutting.
Beading appears too short for a wall section
Measure again carefully. If short, cut a new piece and join it using a neat mitre joint, ensuring it aligns with the flooring pattern.
Visible gaps at corner joints
Ensure accurate mitre cuts (usually 45 degrees) for internal and external corners. Re-cut corners if necessary for a tight fit.
