Product Information

FAQs
Can this moulding be used on uneven floors?
Yes, it is flexible enough to accommodate slight variations in floor level when pinned correctly to the skirting.
Does the Scotia come pre-finished?
No, it arrives in a natural timber state, allowing you to choose your own paint, stain, or varnish.
Should I nail the Scotia to the floor?
No, always nail or glue the Scotia to the skirting board to allow the floor to expand and contract under the moulding.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a hand saw, a mitre box, measuring tape, and either construction adhesive or small headless nails.
Can I use this in high-moisture areas like bathrooms?
It is made of natural timber, so it should be fully sealed with high-quality waterproof varnish if used in areas with potential moisture.
Troubleshooting
Moulding appears uneven against the wall
Ensure the skirting board is perfectly level and clean of debris before installation.
Difficulty achieving a clean mitre joint
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw and a high-quality mitre box to ensure consistent angles.
Finish looks blotchy after staining
Ensure the wood is sanded smooth and a wood conditioner or primer is applied before the final stain.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the wall surface is clean and dry. Use an adhesive or small headless nails to attach the moulding directly to the existing skirting board. Avoid fixing the Scotia to the flooring itself, as this prevents the floor from expanding. For care, keep the area dry and clean the moulding periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dust buildup. If the finish becomes scuffed over time, the natural timber allows for light sanding and re-staining or repainting to restore the original look.
