Installing your laminate floor is quick and easy

Quick-Step wants to make your life as easy as possible. As such, we’ve invented the widely recognised, patented Uniclic and Uniclic Multifit system for installation of your laminate floor Both systems are quicker and more robust than competitors’ solutions and make for easy installation, even in the tightest of corners or under doors.

In addition, all Quick-Step laminate floors can also be installed on top of traditional underfloor heating for maximum comfort from your floor. Thinking of taking everything to another level and installing Quick-Step laminate on your stairs? That’s no problem either! Plus, you’re in the right place if you’re looking for the best way to finish or maintain your new floor.

Three easy installation methods


1. Rotate & click

Simply click the panels into each other along the long side and the short side of the plank.

2. Horizontal insertion

Unlike most other floors, Quick-Step planks can also be joined together horizontally. This is ideal for installation in awkward corners, when reaching the last row of panels, or in places where it is difficult to rotate the panels, such as underneath door frames or heating units.

3. Slide & click

Click the panel into place along the long side, then slide the short side into place against the previous panel and press down. This method was developed especially for the Quick-Step Exquisa range.

Why you'll love the 'Uniclic' click system

Our laminate floors come with a legion of installation benefits. Sounds too good to be true? Think again!

  • QUICK: the installation of long planks has never been faster.

  • EASY: use the method that works best for you and that avoids damaging your floor panels. Replacing planks or moving your floor is simple too; with Uniclic, you can simply lift up the panels.

  • TWO LEFT HANDS? NOT A PROBLEM! Uniclic is suitable for both left-handed and right-handed people, no matter in which corner of the room you start laying your floor.

  • SEAMLESS: say goodbye to open joints and to dirt that could get stuck in between.

  • PERFECTLY LEVEL: the tongue fits perfectly into the groove, resulting in a floor without level differences. This basically means no wear and tear at the edges.

That’s why Quick-Step specialists have selected a collection of high-quality underlays that are easy to install.
