Laminate Scotia Beading LD43 Dust Storm

Dust Storm LD43 Laminate Scotia Beading covers the expansion gap left between the edge of your laminate floor and the skirting board. Every floating floor needs room to move as temperature and humidity change throughout the year. In fact, that gap is not a fault – it is a requirement. Furthermore, this Dust Storm Laminate Scotia Beading is the clean, low-profile way to conceal it.

Where to use Dust Storm Laminate Scotia Beading 

Dust Storm is a cool, dark grey tone with a heavily streaked, distressed grain pattern. It works well alongside dark grey oak, weathered and reclaimed-look laminate floors where a bold, characterful trim is needed. For dark grey, charcoal or cool-toned painted skirting boards, this shade blends naturally into the base of the wall without standing out. Additionally, it suits industrial and contemporary spaces where a strong grey floor tone carries through consistently into the surrounding woodwork for a confident, modern finish.

Sizing and Cutting

The Dust Storm Laminate Scotia Beading profile is 15mm x 15mm and comes in 2.4m lengths. For a standard room perimeter, simply measure the total length needed and calculate how many lengths to order. Where two pieces meet at an internal corner, mitre the ends to suit the angle of the corner for a clean, tight joint.

How to fit Scotia Beading

First, fix with a pin gun into the skirting board at 45 degrees. However, do not pin into the floor. Pinning into the floor locks the boards in place and causes them to buckle as they try to expand. The beading must therefore only be fixed to the skirting so the floor remains free to move underneath it.
