Unizip, the most efficient way to install herringbone

Unizip is Quick-Step’s click system for herringbone patterns. Unlike traditional systems, Unizip uses a single plank type that clicks together on both sides.

  • Faster installation
  • Easier handling
  • Less cutting waste
  • A perfectly aligned herringbone pattern

This makes Quick-Step herringbone laminate easier to install than traditional herringbone floors, without compromising on design.

What's the difference between herringbone and chevron laminate?

The difference between herringbone and chevron laminate comes down to how the planks are cut. Herringbone uses straight rectangular boards that meet at a right angle, creating a broken, staggered zigzag pattern. Chevron planks are cut at an angle, forming a clean, continuous V shape. Chevron looks sleeker and more modern, while herringbone has a more classic, timeless feel.

Is herringbone laminate more expensive?

No. At Quick-Step, herringbone laminate is priced in line with our other laminate collections. Thanks to the smart Unizip system, installation is faster, easier and creates less waste, as only one plank type is needed.
