Scotia Beading
Scotia Beading
Scotia beading is used to cover the expansion gap left around the edge of laminate, wood and other floating floor installations. It provides a clean, professional finish where the flooring meets the skirting board, helping complete the look of the room without needing to remove existing skirting.
Why Use Scotia Beading?
Floating floors need an expansion gap around the perimeter of the room to allow natural movement. Scotia beading neatly covers this gap while creating a smooth transition between the floor and skirting board. It is one of the easiest ways to achieve a tidy finish after fitting laminate or wood flooring.
Matching Flooring Beading
Our scotia beading range includes a variety of wood-effect colours designed to complement popular flooring styles. Choose from oak, grey, walnut and other finishes to match or contrast with your chosen floor.
Easy Installation
Scotia beading is simple to install using adhesive, pins or suitable fixing methods. It can be cut to size and fitted around the perimeter of the room for a neat and consistent finish.
Perfect for Laminate and Wood Flooring
Scotia beading is commonly used with laminate flooring, engineered wood flooring and other floating floors. It is ideal for DIY projects and professional installations where existing skirting boards remain in place.
