FAQs
What is the purpose of this beading?
The beading is used to cover the expansion gap left between laminate or wood flooring and the walls. This gap is essential for the flooring to expand and contract, but leaving it exposed can look unfinished. The beading provides a neat and professional cover.
What material is the Fuji beading made from?
The product description indicates it is crafted for durability and long-lasting use, suitable for laminate and wood flooring. Specific material composition is not detailed, but it is designed to complement wood-look flooring.
How is the beading attached?
It is typically attached using a strong flooring adhesive (like a grab adhesive) or small pins/nails. The method depends on the subfloor and the desired permanence.
Can I use this with vinyl or carpet flooring?
This beading is specifically designed for laminate and wood flooring installations to cover expansion gaps. Its suitability for vinyl or carpet may vary and is not its intended use.
How do I cut the beading for corners?
For clean corners, you will need to cut the beading at a precise angle, typically 45 degrees for a standard corner, using a fine-tooth saw and a mitre box or mitre saw.
What is the length of each piece?
Each piece of Fuji Scotia Beading is supplied in a convenient 2.4-meter length.
Do I need to leave an expansion gap if I use this beading?
Yes, absolutely. The beading covers the gap; it does not eliminate the need for it. The expansion gap is critical for the structural integrity and longevity of laminate and wood flooring.
Troubleshooting
Beading does not fit snugly
Ensure the expansion gap is consistent and within the recommended size. Check that the beading is correctly aligned with both the floor and wall. Re-cut if necessary for a precise fit.
Difficulty cutting clean mitres
Use a sharp fine-tooth saw and a mitre box or mitre saw for accurate angle cuts. Take your time and support the beading firmly during cutting.
Adhesive not holding beading in place
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality adhesive recommended for flooring accessories. Allow adequate drying time as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Beading appears shorter/longer than wall length
Double-check measurements before cutting. If slightly short, consider a small offcut carefully integrated. If too long, re-measure and re-cut accurately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Begin by ensuring your flooring is fully installed and has acclimatised to the room's environment. Measure the perimeter of the room where the beading will be applied. Cut the beading to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw, paying special attention to mitred cuts (typically 45 degrees) for internal and external corners. The beading can be fixed using appropriate flooring adhesives, such as a strong grab adhesive, or small pins/nails suitable for your subfloor and flooring type. Ensure a snug fit against both the floor and the wall.
Compatibility: This beading is specifically designed for use with laminate and engineered wood flooring installations. It is intended to cover the expansion gap, which is a standard requirement for these flooring types. Always confirm that an expansion gap is present and needs covering before installation.
Care: To maintain the appearance of the beading, clean it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this could damage the finish or the surrounding flooring. Regular dusting will help prevent the build-up of grime.
