FAQs
What material is the GoodHome Scotia Trim made from?
The GoodHome DECOR205 Scotia Trim is made from MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) with a wood-effect finish.
Can this trim be used outdoors or in bathrooms?
This trim is intended for internal domestic use. Due to its MDF core, it is not recommended for damp environments like bathrooms or for outdoor applications where it would be exposed to moisture.
What type of adhesive should I use?
A strong grab adhesive or a 'no nails' type adhesive suitable for MDF and your wall/skirting material is recommended for installation.
How do I cut the moulding to size?
You can cut the moulding using a sharp, fine-tooth hand saw or a powered saw. A mitre box can help ensure clean, precise cuts at the required angles.
What is the primary purpose of Scotia moulding?
Scotia moulding is used to cover expansion gaps between flooring and skirting boards or walls, providing a neat and finished edge.
How do I clean the trim?
Clean the trim with a soft cloth that is slightly dampened. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the material.
Does it come in other colours?
This specific product is the 'Brown' variant (DECOR205). Other colours or finishes may be available under different product codes.
Troubleshooting
Trim does not adhere properly
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality grab adhesive suitable for MDF and your wall/skirting material. Ensure sufficient pressure is applied during fitting and allow adequate drying time.
Cutting the trim results in chipping
Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade. For a cleaner cut, consider using a mitre box to guide the saw and ensure straight or angled cuts.
The wood effect finish appears inconsistent
Inspect the product before cutting and fitting. While designed for consistency, slight variations can occur. If significant, contact the retailer for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
