Laminate Scotia Beading LD31 Cedar

Cedar LD31 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, Cedar Laminate Scotia Beading is the clean, low-profile way to conceal it.

Where to use Cedar Laminate Scotia Beading 

Cedar is a warm, mid-brown oak tone with a natural grain pattern. It works well alongside medium and darker laminate floors and sits closest to the Oak Brown LD3 door bars in our laminate range. For skirting boards with a wood stain or warm timber finish, this is a natural choice over white paint. Rooms where a rich, natural wood tone runs through from the floor into the trim particularly benefit from this shade, keeping the overall look consistent and grounded.

Sizing and Cutting 

The Cedar 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.
