Fix using oval lost-head pins, a brad nailer, or a suitable wood adhesive - pin fixing into the skirting rather than the floor allows the floor to expand and contract freely beneath. Once fixed, fill any pin holes with a matching oak wood filler, then finish with your chosen stain, oil or lacquer to match your existing floor or trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between oak scotia moulding and oak quadrant moulding?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotia has a concave (hollow) profile, which creates a slightly deeper shadow line and tends to bridge the corner gap more generously than a quadrant. Quadrant moulding has a convex quarter-circle profile. Both serve the same purpose of covering the expansion gap at floor level, so the choice is largely aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this oak scotia moulding with engineered wood flooring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. An 18mm x 18mm scotia is a common choice alongside both solid and engineered oak floors. Because it is fixed to the skirting board rather than the floor surface, the floor beneath remains free to move, which is essential with floating engineered installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this moulding come pre-finished or will I need to stain it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is supplied unfinished, which gives you full control over the final colour. You can apply an oil, hard-wax oil, lacquer or water-based stain to match your existing floor.
