Fix using lost-head pins or a suitable wood adhesive, taking care not to pin through the beading into the floor itself, as this restricts natural floor movement. Once fitted, the bare oak can be finished with a matching oil, wax, or lacquer to protect the surface and blend with your existing flooring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size expansion gap does 15mm x 15mm oak scotia beading cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 15mm wide, this beading will comfortably cover an expansion gap of up to around 10 to 12mm along the base of a skirting board, which is sufficient for most standard solid and engineered wood floor installations in UK homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I glue or pin oak scotia beading?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEither method works well. Pinning with 40mm lost-head pins into the skirting board (not the floor) is the most common approach as it holds the beading firmly while still allowing the floor to expand and contract freely beneath it. Adhesive can be used on static surfaces such as cabinet internals or stair risers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan oak scotia beading be painted or stained?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Because this beading is unfinished bare oak, it accepts oil, hard-wax oil, water-based lacquer, wood stain, or paint. Lightly sanding with 120-grit paper before applying any finish will help achieve an even result and improve adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full range of solid and hardwood trims in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/oak-mouldings\"\u003eoak mouldings collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Nottage Timber Merchants.
