Quick Step Flooring is one of the main players in this growth industry. The company's aim with the Uniclic ranges was to make this home improvement option accessible to even the clumsiest DIY enthusiast. The real wood looks, textures and tints are engineered to be so realistic, that the neighbors are likely to assume that you had a team of yesteryear's artisans working their fingers to the bone on your new real wood floors. Instead, you will secretly know that it actually was a hubby and wife team toiling for little less than a day with the help of a few boxes of glueless Quick Step laminate flooring planks.
What gives this line its unique looks? Why is this range (you can view the Quick Step range here) proudly displayed in upper-class homes all over the world? Why is it first on many an interior designer's top-rated surfacing list? Apart from the quality inner core and the patented Uniclic design, the finishes spill the beans about the secrets behind this company's remarkable success.
1. Authentic Aesthetics
Have you ever seen two pieces of wood that are identical? Most likely not. Just as no two humans are exactly alike, every piece of wood comes with a uniquely patterned grain and texture. The resilient Authentic Quick Step Flooring finish is a surface coating that highlights the motif of the wood pattern. You will see the effect in the grain lines of an oak finish, the matte looks of maple, and the gloss of a cherry laminate floor. This line brings the diversity of nature right into your home.
2. Contour Artisanal Edging
With Contour Artisanal, the manufacturer brings the end-result of a laminate flooring installation even closer to the real thing. Each and every plank gets the recessed edge treatment that emulates hand-scraped floors. You can't get much closer to nature than this!
3. Back To Nature With Natural Variation
The aspect that sets today's surfaces apart from the first efforts, is the variations incorporated into the designs. Previously the same patterns were repeated over and over again, giving a 'plastic' look to the floors. With Quick Step Laminate Flooring's Natural Variation patterning, this problem disappears. Each design comes with 18 or 54 wood grain patterns, combined with a diverse range of natural tints. This mimics the natural appearance of wood almost perfectly.
4. Cutting Edge SML 3-Optic
This floor covering takes convenience and a real wood appearance one step further in the Elegance range. Here the innovative home remodeling folks give you the perfect balance of three ready-cut plank lengths (small, medium and large) in each pack. What can be easier than this? By using this line, you are virtually guaranteed that the end result of your project will be as close as possible to the real thing. You can just click and go. No worries about producing the right number of each length.
5. Micro-Perspective 4 Reality Check
With Micro-Perspective 4 the Elegance small planks and the Quadra natural stone range get a further reality check from the Quick Step laminate floor guys. The finest grooves of the planks and tiles are treated to the same design process as the surface layer. The result is a through and through natural look.
6. Groovy Perspective 4
This technology subtly creates a v-groove as you click the planks together. In addition, the beveled sides add to the realistic finish. Again the color and design of the surface are repeated in the grooves, adding to the real wood appearance.
7. Country Surface Savvy
When designing the Country Surface finish, Quick Step Flooring managed to instill a hand-scraped quality and texture in its planks. Previously only artisans with years of craftsmanship experience could achieve this look. The master touch is clear in each carefully constructed plank. You will notice a smooth, but slightly uneven look and feel with chatter marks. This gives your floor its appealing aged appearance.
8. Interior Design Comes To Life With Living Surface
True to its name, this decor finish adds a realistic, deep woodgrain structure to the rustic designs. It is also responsible for the convincingly natural finish of the Uniclic ceramic tile ranges.
9. Natural Authentic Artistry
Innovation and resilience are Quick Step Flooring trademarks. Thanks to the unique Natural Authentic finish, you not only see real down-to-earth woodgrain in the designs, but it also adds a more authentic texture to the planks. This is accomplished without doing away with the durability of the surface. If you were under the impression that laminates are not for you, touch a Natural Authentic finish plank and instantly experience a change of mind...
10. Smooth Transitions
The finishes are only as good as your final touches with the decorative accessories and moldings Quick Step Flooring has available in abundance. Installation of the moldings is easy with the clip system. The color palette tones in with your interior design. Every conceivable area has been covered, such as moldings for doorways, around basins and baths, and sliding door moldings. Just make sure that you follow the installation instructions to the letter. You don't want to void your warranty by failing to take the suggested steps. This also applies to maintenance of your resilient Quickstep flooring after installation.
Uniclic as found in this range takes on a new life with all the innovative finishes dreamed up by the home improvement experts. You do the nurturing in your family. Why not let Quick Step Flooring do the naturing with their real wood home remodeling and renovation remedy?
