FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this beading?
The primary purpose is to neatly cover and conceal the expansion gap required between laminate or wood flooring and the walls, providing a clean, professional finish and protecting the floor edges.
What types of flooring is this beading compatible with?
It is designed for use with laminate flooring and various types of wood flooring, including engineered wood and solid wood.
How is the beading attached?
It can be attached using flooring adhesive, pins, or staples. The best method depends on the specific wall and flooring type.
Can I use this beading for vinyl or LVT flooring?
While it can be used in some LVT installations, it is primarily designed for laminate and wood flooring. Always check manufacturer recommendations for your specific flooring type.
How do I clean the beading?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What is the length of each piece of beading?
Each piece of beading is 2.4 meters long.
Can I paint or varnish this beading?
The material and finish may vary, but generally, beading is designed to be used as is. If you wish to paint or varnish, test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.
Troubleshooting
Beading does not sit flush against the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is relatively even. If the wall is significantly uneven, consider using a thicker bead of adhesive to fill minor gaps or adjust the cutting angle slightly.
Difficulty achieving clean cuts.
Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw designed for wood or laminate. A mitre box can help ensure accurate angles for corners.
Beading feels loose after installation.
Re-secure the beading using additional adhesive or fixings. Ensure the fixings penetrate adequately into the subfloor or wall structure without damaging the flooring.
Expansion gap is too large for standard beading.
While this beading is designed for standard gaps, if the gap exceeds the beading's coverage, consider alternative or wider skirting solutions. Consult with a flooring professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Cut the beading to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw for clean, straight cuts.
- Test fit the beading against the expansion gap, ensuring a snug but not forced fit.
