Product Information
Full details
The Snowdon Timber Scotia Moulding is an essential finishing component for DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors looking to achieve a polished look in flooring or ceiling projects. Its primary benefit is the efficient coverage of unsightly expansion gaps, ensuring a clean transition between surfaces. While it offers excellent versatility for aesthetic customization, users should note that as a timber product, it requires precise measuring and cutting to ensure a seamless fit across long runs.

FAQs
Can this moulding be used outdoors?
No, this product is designed specifically for interior use and may warp or degrade if exposed to outdoor weather conditions.
Does the moulding come pre-finished?
No, the moulding arrives as raw timber, providing you the flexibility to paint, stain, or varnish it to match your existing interior decor.
What is the best way to attach the moulding?
The most effective method is using a combination of flexible wood adhesive and small headless nails, fixing it to the skirting board.
How do I cut this moulding?
You can cut this timber using a standard hand saw with a mitre box or a power mitre saw for cleaner, more accurate cuts.
Can I use this on uneven walls?
While the flexibility of timber allows it to conform slightly, you may need to use a flexible decorator's caulk to fill gaps where the wall surface is irregular.
Troubleshooting
Moulding is splitting during nailing
Ensure you are using thin, headless panel pins and consider pre-drilling pilot holes if working near the very edge of the timber.
Corners do not line up perfectly
Check your mitre saw calibration. If gaps remain, use a matching wood filler to bridge the joint before applying your final coat of paint or stain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, measure the perimeter of your room and calculate the number of lengths required, accounting for a 10% wastage factor for cuts. Use a fine-tooth saw for clean edges. Before installation, it is recommended to apply your chosen paint or stain to the moulding in a well-ventilated area to ensure a uniform finish. Once dry, secure the moulding using a combination of panel pins and a small amount of grab adhesive. For long-term care, clean periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid heavy saturation with water to prevent the timber from swelling.
