Why Quick-Step?


Structure of Quick-Step Uniclic Panels

Quicstep Laminate Flooring constructionQuick-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

Quick-step panels will not 'curl'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.
