Laminate Scotia Beading LD41 Tortilla

Tortilla LD41 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, Tortilla Laminate Scotia Beading is the clean, low-profile way to conceal it.

Where to use Tortilla Laminate Scotia Beading

Tortilla is a warm, light golden tone with a slightly limed, washed character. It works well alongside our Moonlight Oak LD13 door bars, as well as washed oak and cool neutral laminate floors where a light but not stark trim is needed. For off-white or lightly stained skirting boards, this shade sits naturally at the base of the wall without creating a harsh contrast. Additionally, it suits contemporary rooms where a light, airy floor tone needs a trim that complements it without pulling the eye down to the skirting line.

Sizing and Cutting 

The Tortilla 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.
