What is laminate floor beading?
Laminate floor beading, also known as scotia beading or edging, is a finishing element used in laminate flooring installations. It serves both aesthetic and functional purposes by providing a polished look to the edges of the flooring and concealing the expansion gap between the laminate and the skirting or wall.
Do you need scotia for laminate flooring?
While not mandatory, using beading often enhances the overall appearance of your laminate floor. In many cases, it contributes to a polished finish by tidying up loose gaps along the edges of the floorboards.
Specifically crafted to cover the essential gap, this beading facilitates the natural expansion and contraction of laminate flooring in response to temperature and humidity changes.
Consider this aspect, especially when installing laminate in rooms prone to higher temperatures.
How do you fit laminate scotia?
Fitting laminate scotia is a simple process that enhances the appearance of your laminate flooring. Measure and cut the scotia to fit along the walls, ensuring precise 45-degree cuts at the corners.
Apply adhesive to the back and secure it in place with finishing nails or screws. After a dry fit to confirm measurements, fill any gaps with wood filler for a seamless look. Once the adhesive sets and any filler dries, lightly sand the scotia to achieve a smooth finish.
Remember to always follow the specific guidelines of your scotia and adhesive for optimal results.
