This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers looking to achieve a clean, finished look for their laminate or engineered wood flooring. The 18mm Scotia Beading in Harlech Oak provides a neat edge solution that accommodates essential expansion gaps, ensuring flooring longevity. A key benefit is its versatile fixing capability, allowing for installation with adhesive, pins, screws, or nails. The primary caveat to consider is ensuring the correct expansion gap is maintained beneath the beading for optimal performance.

Scotia Beading is used to cover the expansion gap between the edge of your flooring (laminate or engineered wood) and the skirting board, providing a neat and professional finish.
This 18mm beading is suitable for covering expansion gaps of up to 15mm, making it ideal for both laminate flooring (typically 10mm gap) and engineered wood flooring (typically 15mm gap).
It can be fixed using adhesive, pins, screws, or nails. The method chosen will depend on your subfloor and personal preference.
Yes, the protective laminate layer supplied with the beading should be removed after installation to reveal the finished Harlech Oak effect.
While primarily designed for laminate and engineered wood, it can be used with solid wood flooring if an appropriate expansion gap is maintained. Consult your solid wood flooring manufacturer's guidelines for recommended gaps.
Each piece of Scotia Beading is 2.4 meters long and 18mm thick.
The beading has a Harlech Oak finish, designed to complement wood-effect flooring.
Check if the wall is uneven. Trim the back of the beading slightly or use a flexible filler to bridge any small gaps after fixing.
Use a fine-tooth saw and a mitre box for precise, clean cuts. Ensure the blade is sharp.
Verify the exact width of the expansion gap. This beading is designed for 10mm (laminate) to 15mm (engineered wood) gaps. If the gap is larger, consider alternative trim solutions.
Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for your subfloor. For very hard subfloors, pilot holes may be necessary for screws or pins. For adhesive, ensure surfaces are clean and dry.
