Laminate Scotia Beading LD45 Charcoal Brown

Charcoal Brown LD45 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 dark grey scotia beading is the clean, low-profile way to conceal it.

Where to use Charcoal Brown Laminate Scotia Beading

Charcoal Brown is a very dark, charcoal-brown tone with a heavily distressed, streaked grain pattern. It works well alongside dark grey oak, aged oak, and smoked oak floors where a strong, bold trim is needed. For dark painted skirting boards in charcoal, slate or deep grey tones, this shade disappears into the base of the wall completely. Additionally, it suits contemporary and industrial spaces where a dramatic, dark floor tone runs through the room and a trim that matches the depth of the floor keeps everything looking intentional and considered.

Sizing and Cutting

The Charcoal Brown 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.
