Scotia: The Finishing Touch for Your Floors
Scotia is a small, concave moulding used to cover the expansion gap between the floor and the wall. It’s especially important in floating floor installations where the floor needs space to expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity.
- Why You Need It: Without scotia, the gap between your flooring and the wall could be exposed, leading to an unfinished look. Scotia neatly covers this gap, providing a clean transition between the floor and the wall.
- Colour Options: Signature’s scotia comes in exact matches to our current ranges of hybrid and laminate flooring, allowing you to achieve a seamless look.
T-Moulding: Bridging the Gap Between Rooms
T-Moulding is a type of transition strip used to connect two floors of the same height, usually in doorways or between rooms. It creates a smooth transition between different flooring types or two areas of the same flooring.
- Where to Use It: T-moulding is ideal for connecting floors of similar height, such as between two rooms or from a hallway to a bedroom. It also works well when transitioning between different types of flooring, like hard flooring to carpet.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Signature’s T-moulding is available in exact matches to our hybrid and laminate ranges, providing a cohesive and polished look. It’s a small detail that can give your home design a professional finish.
- Durability: T-moulding protects the edges of your flooring from damage and wear, making it an essential component for areas with high foot traffic.
Stair Nosing: Safety and Style on Every Step
Stair nosing is a moulding that covers the edge of each step, providing a clean finish and improving the safety of your staircase. It’s an essential accessory for any hybrid and laminate stair installation.
- Enhanced Durability: Stair nosing protects the edge of your stairs from wear and tear, prolonging the life of your staircase. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas.
- Design Options: Signature’s stair nosing is available in exact matches for custom orders, ensuring a perfectly complementary style to your flooring and overall design aesthetic.
