Floor Edge Trim – The Simple Way to Fill the Gap Between Floor and Skirting
Floor Edge Trim – The Simple Way to Fill the Gap Between Floor and Skirting
When installing laminate flooring, one of the final steps is covering the expansion gap left between the floor and the skirting boards. Our Floor Edge Trim provides a clean, professional finish while allowing the floor to expand and contract naturally.
Designed as a modern alternative to traditional laminate beading, this innovative edging strip sits flat on the laminate floor and discreetly attaches to the skirting board using a strong adhesive strip.
A Cleaner Alternative to Traditional Beading
Traditional beading or quadrant trims often require nails, pins, or glue and can be difficult to install neatly. Our room edge trim simplifies the process.
The trim lies flat on the laminate floor and features a pre-applied adhesive strip on the back that bonds directly to the skirting board. This means no drilling, no visible fixings, and a quicker installation process.
Because the trim attaches to the skirting rather than the floor, it still allows the laminate flooring to move freely, maintaining the required expansion space.
Designed to Cover the Expansion Gap
Laminate flooring requires a small gap around the perimeter of the room to allow for natural expansion. Our trim acts as an effective expansion gap cover trim, neatly hiding this gap while maintaining the flexibility the floor needs.
Once installed, the trim works as a discreet perimeter trim, creating a smooth transition between the floor surface and the skirting boards.

Flexible Lip for a Perfect Fit
One of the unique features of this edge trim is the small flexible lip along the top edge.
This flexible section:
-
Conceals the adhesive strip once installed
-
Helps the trim sit neatly against the skirting
-
Compensates for small undulations or uneven areas in the skirting board
-
Ensures a tidy finish around the entire room
The result is a neat, consistent edge that effectively fills the gap between floor and skirting without bulky mouldings.
Quick and Simple Installation
The trim is designed to make finishing a laminate floor fast and straightforward.
-
Ensure the laminate flooring has the correct expansion gap around the room.
-
Measure and cut the edging strip to length.
-
Remove the backing from the adhesive strip.
-
Position the trim so it sits flat on the laminate floor and press it onto the skirting board.
This creates a secure bond while allowing the flooring to expand underneath.
