A Refined and Functional Design

Our Solid Oak Scotia Beading is the ideal finishing component for flooring installations, providing a subtle yet elegant way to cover expansion gaps where skirting meets the floor. The concave curve creates a soft shadow line that enhances the natural character of oak without dominating the design of your interior.

Unlike synthetic trims, our scotia is machined from solid oak, ensuring durability, a premium look, and the ability to match your flooring, doors, or skirting exactly. It can be stained, oiled, or varnished for a seamless, professional finish.

European Oak and American Red Oak Options

We offer two distinct species to complement different design preferences:

• European Oak – Warm golden tones with a fine, tight grain. Timeless and versatile, ideal for traditional British homes and heritage projects.

• American Red Oak – A slightly redder hue with a more open grain, perfect for modern interiors seeking warmth and texture.

Both are sustainably sourced, kiln-dried, and carefully machined for precision and consistency across every length.

Easy to Fit, Easy to Finish

Oak scotia beading is simple to install using adhesive, panel pins, or brads, making it suitable for both professionals and confident DIYers. It’s easily trimmed to length with standard woodworking tools, ensuring a snug, accurate fit around skirting, thresholds, or furniture bases.

Once installed, apply a clear oil or varnish to enhance the wood’s natural colour and protect it from everyday wear. The smooth finish means it can also be stained to match your existing joinery or flooring tone for a perfectly unified look.

Sustainably Sourced, Responsibly Made

Our oak scotia trims are made from responsibly harvested European and American hardwoods, ensuring ethical production and environmental responsibility. Each piece is kiln-dried to improve stability and reduce movement, offering long-term performance in indoor environments.

By choosing solid oak, you’re not just enhancing your space — you’re investing in a sustainable, natural material that embodies both quality and longevity.

Subtle Detailing, Perfect Finishing

Whether used to complete solid oak flooring, engineered boards, or laminate installations, our Solid Oak Scotia Beading provides a clean, stylish, and durable finish.

Its smooth concave edge offers a softer, more discreet alternative to quadrant beading — ideal for those who prefer understated craftsmanship that complements rather than competes with the main flooring surface.

Choose solid oak – timeless, natural, and beautifully made.
