Laminate flooring is one of the most popular forms of flooring in the world. It is popular because it gives people a way in which they can have floors that look like hard wood, tile or even stone at a fraction of the cost that they would have to pay for floors that were actually made out of hard wood, tile or stone. This type of flooring was invented in Sweden in the late 1970s but it was not very long before it had become popular all over the world. One of the world's most popular brands is Quick Step laminate flooring.
This flooring is made by the Quick Step Flooring, Inc. Company, which is headquartered in St. Louis. Louis Missouri. It is the United States division of a company called Unilin Group, which is headquartered in Belgium and was founded in 1960. This company is known for its wood-based panels, its laminate flooring, its roofing systems and its laminate panels. The company has facilities in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and, obviously, the United States. This company was the first company to introduce a patented technology called Uniclic. Uniclic offers people a method of floor installation that is glueless.
The QS flooring line includes flooring that is made to look like beech, oak and chestnut wood planks, tile squares and both the imitation wood and tile are available in a variety of colors.
The official website offers users an interactive menu to help them find the dealer that is closest to them in location. All users have to do is enter their zip code and then choose how wide of a radius in which to search. They will then return the addresses and information of all of the dealers within that radius.
All of the products made by QuickStep are direct pressure laminate type. This type of flooring is often considered to be better than the high-pressured type because it is better balanced. Each of the different types of floors also comes with an installation instruction manual that can be downloaded as a .PDF format.
Quick Step makes more than flooring; it also makes wall treatments, molding, tile skirting, adapters and a variety of square noses. They also offer a small variety of cleaning kits for their products even though, like most kinds of this type of flooring, it is very easy to keep clean.
You can buy flooring through a dealer or through the website and you can also learn a great deal about the different types of flooring that they have available. No matter what kind of floor you want to have, Quick Step will help you make it happen. Their products are affordable (certainly more affordable than "real" hard wood floors), durable, easy to install and easy to keep clean. You can redo all of the floors in your home in no time at all.
