Laminate flooring manufacturer Quick-Step (Dallas, Texas) launched a hardwood floor collection for the first time at Surfaces 2014 in Las Vegas last week, and celebrity designer and Quick-Step design partner Erinn Valencich was on hand to promote the new line:
The Q-Wood by Quick-Step Hardwood Collection, like the company's laminate products, is a fashion-driven, low-maintenance line installed via Quick-Step's patented Uniclic glueless installation locking system. The floors also feature Opulus Performance Enhanced Finish, a finish with the appearance of oil but the low maintenance of a UV-cured system. The finish drew interest on the show floor last week with demonstrations of how scratches in the finish can be repaired by a technique of abrading the scratch and spraying it with a proprietary product offered by Quick-Step that blends in seamlessly with the existing finish; here Harry Bogner, senior vice president and general manager of hardwood for Quick-Step parent company Unilin, is seen demonstrating the technique:
Q-Wood by Quick-Step includes eight oaks, three hickories, two maples, and one walnut, each with three surface options: smooth, soft-scraped and wire-brushed accentuated by soft-scraped tooling.
All Things Wood Floor, created by Wood Floor Business magazine, talks to interesting wood flooring pros to share knowledge, stories and tips on everything to do with wood flooring, from installation, sanding and finishing to business management.
