FAQs
What is the primary purpose of Scotia Beading?
Scotia beading is used to provide a neat and tidy finish at the edges of laminate and engineered wood flooring, covering the expansion gap between the flooring and the skirting board.
What size expansion gap is this beading suitable for?
This 18mm thick Scotia beading is suitable for expansion gaps of approximately 10mm for laminate flooring and 15mm for engineered wood flooring.
How can I fix the Scotia Beading in place?
You can fix the beading using flooring adhesive, pins, screws, or nails. Choose the method that best suits your skirting board and desired finish.
Is this beading pre-finished?
Yes, the Scotia Beading is supplied laminated, meaning it has a finished surface ready for installation.
Can I use this with solid wood flooring?
While primarily designed for laminate and engineered wood, check the specific expansion gap requirements for your solid wood flooring. If the gap is compatible, it may be used.
How should I clean the beading?
Clean the beading with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Beading does not sit flush against the skirting.
Check that the skirting board is straight and free from obstructions. Ensure the beading is cut accurately and that the fixing method is applied evenly.
Expansion gap is too large for the beading.
This Scotia beading is designed for specific gap sizes. For larger gaps, consider alternative solutions like larger skirting boards or different types of trim. For smaller gaps, ensure you are not violating flooring manufacturer's recommendations.
Laminated surface is damaged during installation.
Handle the beading carefully. Use appropriate tools for cutting and fixing. For minor damage, touch-up pens may be available, but for significant damage, replacement of the section is recommended.
