This Scotia beading is designed for homeowners and DIY installers looking to achieve a professional finish on laminate or engineered wood floors. It serves as the ideal solution for covering the necessary expansion gap between your new floor and the skirting board, providing a neat, brown-toned transition. While it is highly versatile for different floor thicknesses, users should note that the 18mm thickness requires careful measurement to ensure it fits flush against existing trim.

This beading is specifically designed for laminate and engineered wood, though it may work with vinyl if the expansion gap requirements are met.
It is designed for standard interior use. Avoid installing in areas prone to standing water, such as bathrooms or wet rooms.
No, it comes pre-laminated in a brown finish and is ready to install immediately.
Yes, high-strength construction adhesive is an excellent way to secure the beading if you wish to avoid visible nail holes.
Measure the total linear metres of your room's perimeter and add 10% to account for wastage during mitre cuts.
Check for debris under the strip or ensure the floor surface is level; remove any high spots in the subfloor.
Ensure your mitre cuts are accurate at 45 degrees; use a small amount of wood filler in the matching shade to conceal minor gaps.
To install, ensure the floor surface is clean and dry. Measure the perimeter of your room and cut the beading to length using a fine-toothed saw. You can attach the strips using a high-strength wood adhesive for a clean look without visible fixings, or use thin headless nails for a more mechanical hold. Compatibility is straightforward: it covers a 10mm gap for laminate or a 15mm gap for engineered wood. For care, simply wipe with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the pre-laminated surface.
