Scotia Beading is used to neatly cover the expansion gap left between the edge of laminate or engineered wood flooring and the skirting board, providing a clean, finished look.
This 18mm thick beading is suitable for maintaining a 10mm expansion gap for laminate flooring and a 15mm expansion gap for engineered wood flooring.
It can be fixed using adhesive, pins, screws, or nails, offering flexibility based on your preference and the existing wall and skirting materials.
This particular beading is specified for laminate and engineered wood flooring due to their specific expansion gap requirements. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for solid wood flooring.
No, the beading is supplied laminated and ready for installation. It requires only basic cleaning with a damp cloth.
While the beading is designed for 10mm and 15mm gaps, its 18mm thickness might accommodate slightly larger gaps, but it's crucial to ensure the flooring manufacturer's minimum gap requirements are always met. Consult your flooring's installation guide.
The MPN for this product is 827.
Check for unevenness in the skirting board or subfloor. Ensure the expansion gap is consistent. Adjust fixing points or consider shimming behind the beading if necessary.
The expansion gap may be too small or non-existent. Remove the beading and re-assess the gap. Ensure sufficient space is left around the entire floor perimeter for expansion and contraction.
If using adhesive, ensure surfaces are clean and dry. For mechanical fixings (pins, screws, nails), ensure they are appropriate for the material of the skirting board and beading. Consider using a combination of fixings for added security.
Use a fine-toothed saw for cutting. If using screws or nails, pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the fixing diameter, especially in harder wood sections of the beading.
