product innovations QICK STEP LINESSE The collection of Linesse floors is without a doubt the most important innovation within the Quick Step range for 2008. Its innovative and exceptional character are based on the new, revolutionary nilink installation system. Thanks to this technology, the transverse seams which are normally produced with traditional three-strip parquet are avoided. The SPs of this unique installation system are: 1/ Easy and quick to install With nilink, 3 small floor strips are attached to the same underfloor panel and this results in a faster and an easier installation of the floor. 2/ A perfectly natural parquet look The 3 floor strips can be moved in relation to one another. This produces a perfectly natural look of solid parquet, without two joints ever ending in the same place. 3/ Solid sound The pre-mounted underfloor panel, which is 3.5 mm thick, has been specially developed to absorb the transit sound in the room. The thickness of the underfloor panel guarantees a more natural and solid stepping sound. The brand-new Linesse range is available in 8 top designs with a few surprising surface structures. A varied range of contemporary colour and wood designs is available and can be combined perfectly with the latest interior styles. QICK STEP ARTE One range, two styles Today, concrete is often used as a floor covering for private construction. To meet this emerging market, Quick Step is expanding its Arte range with two new designs: the polished concrete tile in natural colour and the polished concrete tile in dark colour. Besides these developments, Quick Step is also launching a new white oiled Versaille tile. 12 128 QICK STEP LAGNE In creating the Lagune collection mid 200, Quick Step has launched its first range of designs for damp rooms, e.g. bathrooms. Taking into account the ever-changing and advanced requirements and tastes of the consumer, Quick Step is extending this range with 3 new shipdeck floor designs. The new designs are: Black varnished Pallisander, Vintage oak dark varnished and natural varnished oak shipdeck floor. The Lagune range has 25 years warranty and 10 years water warranty* on domestic use. * Only if original Quick Step Seal&Click Sealant is used. See installation instructions and warranty conditions. nsuited for saunas and walk-in showers.

product innovations QICK STEP CLASSIC To enhance the authentic appearance of the Classic range even further, Quick Step developed a th generation surface structure. Thanks to this new technique, the dust line is reproduced even more realistically and the natural look of classic strip parquet is imitated perfectly. The new technique consists of applying the height differences between the strips on a single Classic plan, which in comparison with the previously printed dust line, has a much more natural look. QICK STEP PERSPECTIVE AND ELIGNA The Perspective and Eligna collections are complemented with a unique wood design, Pitch Pine, which is available in two versions. The dark and white brushed pin planks are very attractive due to the weathered and exclusive character. A top product that meets the demands of the latest trend for authenticity in contemporary interiors. Pitch Pine is a protected wood variety that is practically no longer available and consequently is unaffordable for most consumers. Quick Step has once again succeeded in bringing expensive and rare wood varieties to the market at an attractive price. 1 QICK STEP ACCESSORIES Besides an extensive range of laminate floors, Quick Step also has many accessories and installation material. Some new products will also be introduced in 2008: 2 3 1/ nisound Combifloor pro To complement the existing sound-absorbing underfloor, Quick Step is launching a new underfloor which reduces reflection sound even better than before. 1 roll = 10 m 2 2/ Double-sided damp-proof PE foil with reinforcement This armoured damp-proof membrane can only be used under the ni Softboard or under the Quick Step floors in the Linesse range. 3/ Incizo is now available in metal The revolutionary Incizo profile is now also available in a metal version. The included handle makes it easy to break off the excess profile. The rest of the profile is strengthened with a reinforcement piece. / Paintable skirting board with Incizo technology The paintable skirting board is made of waterproof MDF which is covered with a foil that can easily be painted in the same colour as the walls.
