Waterproof Wood for Life With Unilin Flooring

Latest News Mon, May 12, 2025 11:07 AM

Natural wood is a favourite choice for high specification housing and with Quick-Step wood flooring from Unilin Flooring, projects can benefit from a lasting and easy to maintain wood floor. Unlike other engineered wood floors and solid wood, Quick-Step is waterproof and features Wood for Life. Wood for Life is a unique innovation that prevents the build-up of dirt and water marks in the grain and joints so that the floor retains its ‘as new’ appearance. With scratch resistance, Wood for Life makes the floor easier to maintain and helps to extend its life.

Thanks to a special coating that works to repel water, Quick-Step wood is also waterproof. Water can stay on the surface for 72 hours without causing damage or seeping through the joints. This means that Quick-Step wood floors can be used throughout all private areas, including bathrooms and kitchens.

For housing and other commercial projects, Unilin Flooring offers the Faro and Faro Herringbone collections. Faro is a wide and long plank (1820 x 220mm) that elevates interiors in six natural oak finishes. Faro Herringbone comes in a versatile 580 x 145mm herringbone plank, again in six oak finishes. Both floors are designed for floating installation and come with Quick-Step’s Uniclic® Multifit joint for secure, glueless installation.

Thanks to the durability and appearance retention of Wood for Life, Quick-Step is able to use a thin layer of PEFC traceable oak that helps to reduce its use of slow-growing timber. The core uses fast growing species such as spruce, or HDF made of recovered wood (from sawmills, forest management and roadside maintenance). Quick-Step wood flooring is available with a third-party verified EPD (EPD-UNI-20230478-IBC1-EN).

Quick-Step Faro and Faro Herringbone are manufactured by Unilin Flooring in Europe and stocked in the UK for a fast and reliable supply of high quality wood flooring, accommodating multiple phases and high volumes.
