[Closed] Anything wrong with quick-step flooring?

Easy peasy. We've just laid some in new kitchen. Get decent hardboard and underlay down first.

Thanks, will be leaving this to someone that knows what they're doing though as I suspect it would take me too long and that's assuming I don't make a complete pigs ear of it 😀

Just make sure they read the instructions. Took us a bit to work out the "click" mechanism.

Not heard of quick step but I just put down some solido elite laminate with an easy "click" lock type system.. Assuming this is the same stuff it is relatively easy to do. I did our kitchen diner and hallway in about two days and that included some awkward bits and cutting under many door frames! Only drawback to the system I used was that you have to come in at a 30 degree or so angle to engage the new piece before clicking in place... This is fine apart from in awkward spots where you're going under a door frame and need to come in flat. We just put some of the foam underlay straight on top of floor boards and then laminate on that. Had to ensure we were running perpendicular to boards mind otherwise would have had to put some more robust underlay/board down..

Just think, if you buy some you're basically sponsoring Mark Cavendish, Zdenek Stybar, Tom Boonen, Michal Kwiatkowski, Tony Martin, Stijn Vandenbergh et al. It's got to be worth it for that alone!

Put Quickstep down in my rental flat. Fools most people when they walk in and was easy to fit and holding up well so far. Would buy it again if not going for real wood.

Absolutely superb. We put it down 2 years ago throughout out downstairs. Not a mark on it since, very comfortable to walk on and easy to clean. So far its a lot more resistant to damage then the solid floorboards we had before.

Yep, have some in the kitchen. Been in nearly a year and still looks like new. Much better than the cheaper B&Q stuff we've used in other areas of the house and well worth the price difference.

Had some fitted in my lounge and was very pleased with it.

Great, thanks all, sounds like the way to go.

Had some in our kitchin and conservatory for about 10 years and looked as good as new when we moved out. Just about to lay some in our new kitchin. Never even considered using anything else.

Just had some put it. Great looking stuff and it went in in about a day. Our builder won't work with anything else

Handy thread. We've just started looking at flooring for hall, toilet, utility and kitchen. I assume that the advice to ignore solid hardwood flooring in the kitchen is sound? Thinking Engineered might be the way to go.

nothing wrong with Quickstep, but their parent company is costing me millions in license fees 😉
