FAQs
What is the purpose of scotia beading?
Scotia beading is used to cover the expansion gap between your floor and the wall, which is essential for laminate and wood flooring to prevent damage. It provides a neat, finished look.
How long is each piece of Fuji beading?
Each piece of Fuji beading is 2.4 metres in length.
Can this beading be used with vinyl flooring?
While primarily designed for laminate and wood floors, it may be adaptable for some vinyl installations where a similar gap concealment is needed, but always check manufacturer recommendations.
What tools are needed to install this beading?
You will typically need a tape measure, a fine-tooth saw (preferably with a mitre box for accurate angles), and an appropriate adhesive or fixing method (nails, staples).
How do I cut the beading for corners?
For internal and external corners, you will need to cut the beading at a 45-degree angle (mitre cut) so that two pieces join together seamlessly.
Can I paint or varnish the beading?
The finish of the beading will depend on the material it is made from. Check the product specifications. If it is unpainted wood or a paintable laminate, it may be possible to paint or varnish it to match your decor.
Troubleshooting
Beading does not fit snugly
Ensure the expansion gap is within the recommended size for this beading. Re-cut the beading for a precise fit. Check that the wall and floor edges are straight.
Difficulty cutting cleanly
Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw and a mitre box for accurate, clean cuts. Avoid using a blunt saw which can cause splintering.
Beading lifts away from the wall
Check the adhesive or fixings used. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Consider using a stronger adhesive or more secure fixings.
