Carpets can often lead to dust mites and other allergens, with a clean Quick-Step laminate floor you get a very hygienic finish suitable for family, asthmatics and people with dust allergies. Due to Quick-Step's patented design called Uniclic and their solid HDF core, planks are connected together extremely tightly making it hard for dust and germs to settle in-between the planks. Regular cleaning with the recommended Quick-Step Cleaning Kit will ensure your floor is kept hygienic.

With kids and pets running all over the place it's important to choose a flooring product which can reduces the effects of scratching. Quick-Step's Scratch Guard guarantees up to 10x more scratch resistance than products without scratchguard, meaning your floor will keep it's original look for longer. It's always recommended with any laminate floor to put either felt pads or protective covers on chair legs and the underside of furniture.

With your brand new Quick-Step floor you'll find it incredibly easy and fast to clean. Due to the nature of laminate flooring, it's not possible to wash them with a mop & bucket as water exposure on all laminate floors should be kept to a minimum. With the Quick-Step cleaning kit you can fly over the surface of the floor with microfibre cloths and wipes.

Unlike carpets and alternative floor types, Quick-Step products are all treated to be antistatic before you buy them so rest assured that static shocks will be minimal. This can fulfil health and safety requirements at the workplace, and also make for a more comfortable domestic installation.

The longevity and quality of each quick-step floor is achieved through a water tight HDF glued core adhering to rigorous ISO and EN guidelines. Combining this solid core with the tight-fitting Uniclic installation system and you have a product which is incredibly well connected meaning dirt and dust won't penetrate in-between planks.

Fitting a Quick-Step floor couldn't be easier with their patented UNICLIC connection system. One plank connects to another using two methods - the Click system is used by angling the new plank at 30 degrees to the laid plank. The tap and block system is performed using a hammer and a tapping block on a horizontal surface. Quick-Step guarantees the longevity of the Uniclic system with a lifetime warranty.

Quick-Step provide a warranty against domestic splashes and spillages of liquids onto the floor surface. The Quick-Step Calando range is not designed for bathroom or kitchen usage or areas of humidity, and all water on the surface of this floor should be immediately cleaned up as soon as possible.
