About LVT Scotia Beading & Skirting Boards
Focusing on the finer details, such as LVT skirting and scotia, can make a significant difference in the overall aesthetic of your space. When properly installed, these elements bring a level of refinement and professionalism to your flooring project.
Is scotia beading necessary with LVT?
Scotia beading offers an optional yet refined finishing touch to Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) installations. The use of LVT scotia beading depends on your individual needs. It becomes particularly important with click LVT, which requires a small expansion gap. In this type of installation, individual planks or tiles interlock to form a unified surface that doesn't directly attach to the subfloor. To account for potential temperature and humidity-related expansion and contraction, a slight gap is left around the room's perimeter. Scotia beading skillfully conceals this gap, resulting in a flawless and polished finish for your flooring project.
The perfect way to cover the expansion joint between an existing skirting board and your flooring. White Scotia Beading is versatile and often preferable to wooden scotia beading as it can be used to add a minimalistic feature to white skirting or be painted to a desired colour to match the look and feel of your room.
Ultimately, the decision to use scotia beading with LVT is a matter of personal preference and practical considerations. If you're confident in your installation and don't mind the look of exposed edges, it may not be necessary. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for your specific LVT product.

Do you install skirting before or after LVT flooring?
For the best visual result, it's recommended to install your LVT flooring before any skirting boards. This creates a seamless, edge-to-edge appearance. In cases where installing LVT before skirting isn't possible, using a lvt scotia is an effective solution to cover any necessary expansion gaps.
