Can I use Quick-Step laminate in my kitchen?
Yes, you can install our Quick-Step Laminate floors with HydroSeal technology in your kitchen. Quick-Step Laminate floors have a scratch and wear resistant 'Scratch Guard' surface layer and Hydroseal technology, making them a perfect choice for your kitchen as well. ‘Hydroseal’ is an innovative, water-repellent coating that prevents water from entering the floor’s grooves, thus making it perfectly suitable for wet environments.
Because of the highly moisture resistant HDF core board, an accident with a glass of water falling on the floor for example is not a problem. It is however recommended to remove any standing moisture as soon as reasonably possible.
Of course, the laminate floor in your kitchen will have to be cleaned more frequently and more intensively than in some other rooms of your house. However, there's no need to wash the floor; in fact, this should never be done. The sealed surface structure prevents dirt and dust from attaching to the floor. Usually, dry cleaning with Quick-Step microfiber tissues is sufficient.
Floors with bevelled edges must be vacuumed first. Occasionally the floor can be cleaned with a damp or slightly moist Quick-Step microfiber mop using Quick-Step cleaning product in the cleaning water.
