Can I install it over an existing floor?

Yes, the Uniclic joint allows floating installation over most flat, sound subfloors, including some existing hard floors. The subfloor must be level and dry, and a underlay is used beneath the planks.

Is it suitable for bathrooms?

No. Laminate swells when water sits on it, so keep it out of full bathrooms, laundry rooms and other wet areas. It works well in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways.

How does it compare with engineered oak?

Engineered oak has a real wood top layer that can be sanded and refinished, and it feels warmer and quieter. This laminate is harder, more scratch-resistant and simpler to install, but it cannot be refinished.

Does it need an underlay?

Yes, a floating laminate install uses an underlay for cushioning, sound dampening and moisture protection. Check that the underlay is compatible with click-lock planks.

Can it be used with underfloor heating?

Quick-Step laminate is generally approved for low-temperature underfloor heating when the system is properly controlled and the subfloor is prepared. Confirm the heating compatibility for this specific plank before installing.

Sweep or vacuum regularly and use a damp mop with a laminate-safe cleaner. Avoid soaking the floor or using steam mops, which can force moisture into the joints.
