Structure of Quick-Step Uniclic Panels
Quick-Step
Uniclic is a range of laminate flooring based on water resistant,
glued HDF (High Density Fibreboard) with a thickness of 8 mm.
It consists of the following 4 layers:
1. The protective top layer or overlay
This special developed transparent layer ('overlay') has a specific
cellulose structure and is impregnated with resin. This creates
a very high wear-resistance. It contains a very hard and finely
divided product: corundum, which guarantees the wear-resistance.
The overlay is so clear that the design layer is totally visible.
2. The design layer
This printed layer, embedded in resin, shows a variety of attractive
and very natural patterns.
3. The water resistant glued HDF board
This High Density Fibreboard has a very high-density (850kg/m³)
and is water resistant glued. This gives the board a relative moisture-resistance
character. This kind of board is better than the normal chipboard
or MDF board because it has a higher solidity and a better shock-resistance.
4. The resin underlayer
This
layer, embedded in resin, is made up of melamine which creates a
moisture-resistant underlayer for the floor.
This layer also takes care of the balance in the
Quick-Step Uniclic panels. It creates more or less a counterbalance
for the upper layers and guarantees the straightness of the panels.
If you install
Quick-Step Uniclic, you won't encounter 'curling' - it does
not occur.
