What Is Scotia Beading?

Key Features of Scotia Beading:

• Purpose: Covers gaps left around the edges of wood, laminate, or vinyl flooring.
  Ensures a polished and seamless look without removing the skirting boards.

• Material Options: Typically made from wood, MDF, or plastic, with finishes designed to match or complement your flooring.

• Size and Shape: Scotia beading is curved, creating a smooth transition from the flooring to the wall or skirting board.

When Do You Need Scotia Beading?

• Floating Floor Installations: Required in installations where the flooring isn’t fixed to the subfloor and needs room to expand.
• Skirting Boards in Place: Ideal if you want to avoid removing existing skirting boards during a flooring update.

How to Install Scotia Beading

• Cut the beading to the correct length using a mitre saw for neat corners.
• Secure it to the skirting board (not the flooring) using adhesive or small nails.
• Ensure a consistent gap around the edges of the room for flooring expansion.

Scotia beading is a practical and stylish solution for finishing your flooring installation. It’s available in various colours and finishes, making it easy to match your floor and achieve a professional appearance.
