If you're looking at laminate floors, Quick Step Laminate Flooring is a name that you really couldn't avoid if you tried. While no company really dominates the laminate floor industry, Quick Step Laminate Flooring is quite well known. They pride themselves on having a very wide range of laminate floor options, and tile as well. We'll examine Quick Step Laminate Flooring to help you decide if it will be best for you.

How Hard Is The Installation?

Quick Step Laminate Flooring is probably the easiest of any laminate to install. It doesn't anchor or connect to any solid points, making it a floating floor. The fact that a floating floor can often times be laid over an existing, even damaged floor, can help save money that you would otherwise have to spend on pulling the old floor. Quick Step is a very good way to go if you've never installed a floor before.

What Is A Floating Floor?

There are a few things to keep in mind when installing a floating laminate wood floor. Be sure that the floor is never attached to anything solid. This is not a neat option, but an install requirement. Floating laminate floors expand and contract with temperature changes and, if attached to anything solid, can become ruined by warping and peaking. This includes wall moldings as well. Be sure that you leave the prescribed amount of space between the edge of your laminate flooring and the wall, to allow for expansion.

Offerings From Quick Step

Quick Step moves pretty quickly in changing up and refreshing the products that they offer, so don't be surprised if, before you've even read this, they've already completely changed their line-up of flooring, laminate and all. As of right now, Quick Step sells their laminated flooring in eleven collections, and each collection holds at least three options. There are a few differences in features from collection to collection, but mostly your choice will depend on preference.

Warranty, Reputation, And Price

Quick Step Laminate Flooring is actually a subsidiary of Mohawk Industries, which has been making carpeting for well over a century. When it comes to price, you'll pay a bit more for the name, but with that name comes a good reputation, a lifetime warranty, and some of the easiest installation in the industry. If you plan to have someone install your laminate floor, then other options may be more cost effective for you. However, if you're planning to install it yourself, Quick Step Laminate Flooring is the way to go, if you can afford it.
