Laminate Scotia Beading LD40 Peru

Peru LD40 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, Peru Laminate Scotia beading is the clean, low-profile way to conceal it.

Where to use Peru Laminate Scotia Beading

Peru is a warm, medium-brown oak tone with a slightly aged, rustic character. It works well alongside old oak, character oak and medium-brown laminate floors and sits closest to the Old Oak LD12 door bars in our laminate range. For skirting boards with a warm mid-brown wood stain, this shade blends naturally into the base of the wall without standing out. Additionally, it suits period properties and older homes where a floor with natural character and warmth needs a trim that sits comfortably alongside it.

Sizing and Cutting 

The Peru 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.
