Its primary benefit is its ability to conceal expansion gaps while providing a clean transition between the flooring and the skirting board.

Does the beading come pre-finished?

Troubleshooting

Beading does not cover the expansion gap sufficiently.

Verify the expansion gap size. If larger than recommended for this beading, consider a thicker profile beading or alternative trim.

Fixings are not holding the beading securely.

Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for your subfloor type and the density of the wall. For adhesive, use a strong, flexible flooring adhesive. For mechanical fixings, ensure they are long enough and penetrate the wall structure sufficiently.

Laminated finish is peeling or damaged.

Handle the beading carefully during installation. If damage occurs, minor imperfections can sometimes be touched up with appropriate wood repair filler or marker, though replacement of the section may be necessary for a perfect finish.
