What is Scotia Beading?
Scotia beading is a type of floor trim designed to conceal the expansion gap around the edges of your flooring. It works seamlessly alongside skirting boards, eliminating the need for removal during installation while providing a clean, professional finish.
We offer a wide selection of scotia trim, available in two main types:
- Quick-Step Scotia Beading – Designed to match specific laminate flooring, this trim offers a discreet finish, creating a neat and tidy border around your room. White scotia flooring is a popular choice due to its elegant appearance, bright finish, and durability. It is also highly water-resistant, making it a practical option for modern interiors.
- MDF and Solid Oak Scotia Trim – Ideal for those looking to coordinate their floor edging with other mouldings throughout their home. These options provide a decorative and stylish finish while remaining an affordable choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much scotia beading do I need?
To calculate how much beading you need, measure the linear metres needed (run the tape measure around the outside of your room), and divide that number by the size of the beading. For example, if you have 20 metres to cover, you will need 11 pieces of 1.83m scotia beading.
How to fit scotia beading?
To fit scotia beading, first measure and cut the trim to size using a mitre saw for neat corner joints. Apply adhesive or small nails to secure it to the skirting board (not the floor, to allow for expansion). Press the beading firmly in place and wipe away excess adhesive. For a seamless finish, use decorators' caulk to fill any gaps and match the trim to your décor if needed.
