Laminate Scotia Beading LD50 Black

Black LD50 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 Laminate Scotia Beading is the clean, low-profile way to conceal it.

Where to use Black Laminate Scotia Beading

Black is a pure, flat tone with no visible grain pattern. It works well alongside near-black, dark grey and contemporary laminate floors where a bold, clean trim is needed. For black or very dark painted skirting boards, this shade disappears completely into the base of the wall with no contrast at all. Additionally, it suits modern and minimalist interiors where a strong, graphic floor tone sets the character of the room and the trim needs to hold that edge without softening it.

Sizing and Cutting 

The Black 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.
