FAQs

What is scotia beading used for?

Scotia beading is used to cover expansion gaps between flooring and walls, providing a neat and professional finish.

Can this beading be used with vinyl flooring?

This beading is specifically designed for laminate and wood floors. For vinyl flooring, different types of trim or skirting might be more suitable.

How do I cut the beading for corners?

You will need to cut the beading at a 45-degree angle using a mitre box and a fine-toothed saw to create clean internal and external corners.

What is the length of each piece?

Each piece of beading is 2.4 metres long.

How many pieces are in a pack?

The product is supplied in a pack of 5 pieces.

What maintenance is required?

Maintenance is minimal; simply wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Can I paint or stain this beading?

This beading is supplied with a 'Marine' finish and is not designed to be painted or stained. It is intended to be used as is.

Troubleshooting

Beading does not sit flush against the wall

Ensure the flooring is correctly installed with the appropriate expansion gap. Check that the wall surface is even and the beading is cut at the correct angle.

Difficulty in cutting clean corners

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw and a mitre box for precise 45-degree cuts. Practice cuts on a scrap piece before working on the final beading.

Adhesive is not holding the beading securely

Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality flooring adhesive recommended for beading and allow adequate drying time.
