QuickStep Floor Fitting Process

At FloorWorks we are proud to offer floor fitting services for all QuickStep engineered wood and Laminate products. We have done many QuickStep fitting projects and we are well aware of the manufacturer’s recommendations and specifications for achieving the best results and ultimate durability. All QuickStep engineered and laminate products are installed as floating using the Uniclic locking system. This also makes them perfect for installation over underfloor heating. Although it is relatively easy to install QuickStep products, there are some very important aspects to take into account that require specific skills and knowledge in order to achieve the best and long-lasting results.

Acclimatisation

Prior to the engineered wood installation, it is important to leave the flooring in the room where it is to be fitted for at least 48 to ensure that the wood is acclimatised to the local environment such as temperature and the humidity. When acclimatizing the engineered floor needs to be left in its original packaging.

Subfloor Levelling

Our fitting process always begins with ensuring that the level and the condition of the subfloor are perfect to allow for the wood to be installed on top. Subfloor levelling and insulation fitting is often required to ensure that the wooden flooring is well protected from any potential moisture and that it is stable and even. QuickStep offers a full range of underlays with various insulation capacities which have proven to be very efficient in moisture and sound insulation.

Floor Fitting

Once the subfloor is perfectly levelled and well insulated, the engineered or laminate flooring is then fitted on top, allowing sufficient gap between the floor and the walls for the natural expansion of the wood. This is particularly important to engineered wood products as the natural wood is very respondent to variations in moisture levels and it naturally expands and contracts. This expansion gap is later covered with the use of matching flooring accessories such as skirting boards or beadings. QuickStep offers a full range of matching accessories for all of their flooring products, so whatever your taste, rest assured that your expectations will be met with our QuickStep installation service.

Some Frequently Asked Questions
About

More help...

Can water damaged solid wood flooring be restored?

Similar to parquet, the possibility of restoring water-damaged solid wood flooring hinges on the severity of the damage. Minor surface water damage, which might cause some light staining or slight raising of the grain, can often be successfully addressed through sanding and refinishing.
How much does it cost to restore parquet flooring?

Restoring parquet flooring often involves a more intricate process than standard floorboards, which can sometimes slightly impact the cost. While general wood floor restoration costs can start from £25 per square meter for sanding and finishing, parquet may incur additional charges due to the need for more meticulous repairs of individual blocks. Final cost will be affected from additional services like gap filling and staining.
How much does it cost to restore my stairs?

The cost to restore your stairs can vary significantly based on several factors, typically ranging from £800 to £1,200 or more for an average staircase. The main determinants of price include the condition of the stairs, the chosen finish (lacquer, oil or paint), and the complexity of the staircase design. Materials for high-quality finishes also contribute to the cost. For stairs, it's always best to obtain a detailed quote after a site visit, to get an accurate cost tailored to your specific staircase.
Can I walk on the wood floor, during my floors restoration?

Generally, it is strongly advised to avoid walking on your wooden floor during the restoration process, especially after sanding and when the new finish is ready to applied. Immediately after sanding, the raw wood is exposed and highly susceptible to dents, scratches, and the absorption of dirt or oils from footsteps, which could compromise the final finish.
How much does it cost to supply & fit LVT flooring?
