How to match scotia to laminate flooring?

Hi All, I've recently purchased laminate flooring from the Floor Select range in Gessami Oak only to discover I cannot find the matching scotia.

I incorrectly assumed I could order it from the Service Desk, but no.

I understand I could buy a different brand's scotia but colour matching would be an issue.

Any ideas how to tackle this problem would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello @WSR 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your scotia for your laminate flooring.

 

When laminate flooring is installed, the common scotia placed in is white. The reason for this is to give the floor definition and a uniform edge. However, if you are after a softer transition, the general practice is to get a scotia that is close to the colour of your floor. 

 

An example would be the Hanwood 2.4m Grey Oak Vinyl Wrap Floating Floor Scotia Trim - Grey Oak. It does come in other shades, but this would be closest to your laminate flooring.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thanks for the advice, Eric. 

Can you also please advise on the underlay for the Floor Select laminate?

Hi @WSR 

 

I recommend using QEP Silver Laminate Floating Floor Underlay. It's suitable for concrete and all timber floors and it includes an adhesive strip and 75mm overlap film for linking multiple rolls together and providing excellent moisture protection. It is also mould and mildew resistant.
 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.
