Wood Floor Edging Strips

Wood floor edging strips are essential to installing flooring and covering the perimeter expansion gap around the room. It is crucial to leave room for the expansion of the flooring. Otherwise, this can lead to floor buckling and lifting, which is especially important on solid oak flooring—ensuring a seamless and professional finish to any flooring project. These strips, often referred to as transition strips or threshold strips, serve as a bridge between different flooring types or levels. For instance, if you’re transitioning from carpet to wood or tile to wood, these strips ensure a smooth and aesthetically pleasing transition.

The most common wood floor edging strips are called scotias, which relate to the shape of the wood beading. Then, there is wooden floor beading, which can also be used to cover the expansion gap. If you require a more subtle flush floor edging, we also supply L-Sections.

You could also use the oak beading for laminate flooring edging alternatives; these are solid oak instead of the Hdf laminate scotias. We also supply the vinyl floor edging trim that matches the Luvanto vinyl flooring.

One popular type of wood floor edging strip is the T-moulding. They are used when two level floor surfaces meet. Suppose there is a difference in height between two types of adjoining flooring. Reducer strips can be used. Additionally, for those who want a curved finish for their flooring, the quarter round is an excellent option as it fits perfectly against the skirting board and provides a polished look.

Speaking of skirtings, these are more than just decorative elements. They protect the wall’s base and hide uneven edges, working with other flooring accessories like the scotia or beading. With its distinct shape, the scotia is especially popular as it relates to the shape of the wood beading, ensuring that the expansion gap cover is functional and stylish.

For those with laminate flooring, laminate edging is a must. It provides a refined finish, ensuring the floor looks complete and professionally done. And if you’re working with hardwood flooring, the hardwood trim or floor moulding can add that touch of elegance and sophistication to any room.

End cap moulding is essential to keep the expansion gap, especially when your flooring ends abruptly, perhaps around a fireplace hearth or up against patio doors. This moulding ensures the floor doesn’t look unfinished and protects the edges from wear and tear. And if you’re looking for something more understated, the edge trim or floor profile might be more up your alley, providing a subtle yet practical finish.

In conclusion, whether you’re looking for joining strips, flooring accessories, or solutions for doorway transitions, our range of wood floor edging strips has got you covered.
