Frequently Asked Questions About Quick-Step
Direct answers from Paul to help you make informed decisions about your flooring project.
What is the Quick-Step Unizip system?
Unizip is a patented herringbone click system that allows parquet flooring to be fitted with one single plank design, eliminating the need for separate left and right (A/B) planks.
Is Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl truly 100% waterproof?
Yes, Alpha Vinyl features watertight click joints and a water-repellent surface that prevents liquids from seeping beneath the floor.
Do I need a separate underlay with Alpha Vinyl?
No, Alpha Vinyl comes with an integrated, high-density acoustic underlay attached directly to the underside of each plank.
What is the Incizo profile?
The Quick-Step Incizo profile is a 5-in-1 multifunctional finishing trim used for expansion joins, carpet transitions, skirting perimeters, and stair steps.
