FAQs
What material is the GoodHome Decor100 Scotia moulding made from?
It is made from Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) with a decorative foil-faced paper finish.
Can this moulding be used in a bathroom?
It is not recommended for areas with high moisture, such as bathrooms, due to its MDF core. It is best suited for dry, indoor environments.
How long is the moulding?
The GoodHome Decor100 Scotia moulding is 220cm in length.
What are the benefits of the wood-effect finish?
The wood-effect finish provides an attractive, natural wood look that is consistent across the moulding, helping it to blend seamlessly with various floor designs.
Does it come with installation hardware?
The product description mentions three mounting system choices, implying that various hardware might be compatible or included depending on the specific retail package. Always check the product packaging or consult with the retailer for details on included accessories.
How should I clean the moulding?
Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
Troubleshooting
Moulding does not fit snugly against the wall or floor.
Check if the subfloor or wall edge is uneven. Minor imperfections can sometimes be compensated for with appropriate adhesive or underlayment. Ensure the correct mounting system is being used as intended.
The wood-effect finish appears inconsistent.
This can occur if cuts are not made cleanly or if the foil is damaged during handling. Ensure a sharp saw blade is used for cutting and handle the moulding carefully. If damage is significant, consider replacing the affected piece.
Moulding is difficult to cut accurately.
Use a fine-tooth saw and a mitre box or guide for precise, straight cuts. Ensure the moulding is securely held in place while cutting. Practice cuts on a spare piece if available.
Water damage or swelling observed on the moulding.
MDF is sensitive to moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to water. If damage has occurred, the affected section may need to be replaced. Ensure good ventilation and prompt cleanup of spills in the future.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation involves choosing one of the three provided mounting system options. Depending on your chosen method, you may need appropriate adhesives, screws, or clips. Ensure the subfloor and wall edges are clean and dry before attaching the moulding. Measure and cut the moulding to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw for clean cuts. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
Compatibility:
This scotia moulding is designed primarily for use with wooden and laminate flooring to cover expansion gaps or edges. It is best suited for indoor environments. Ensure the surface you are attaching it to is compatible with your chosen mounting system.
Care:
To maintain the appearance of the GoodHome Decor100 Scotia moulding, clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, excessive water, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the decorative foil surface or the MDF core. For spills, wipe them up immediately to prevent moisture absorption.
