In the short history of laminate flooring, the birth of the lock is a milestone, in 1997 Kuaibu's parent company Unilin developed the Uniclic lock, which is recognized as one of the two major manufacturers in this field. The biggest advantage of the lock is that it is easy to install, and the special structure on the tongue and groove can make the two floors bite each other and the joints are tight, avoiding the process of gluing or nailing the traditional floor. The advent of locks has really changed laminate flooring, and in just 20 years, almost all manufacturers in the world have used the same or similar technology.
Originally a panel manufacturer, Unilin entered the flooring industry in 1990 with the creation of Belgium's first laminate flooring brand, Quick Step. After the Uniclic lock, the quicksteps continued to be as creative as they launched their first model with a V-groove laminate flooring in 2001, and even though the shape would have been thought to be a source of dirt, the better aesthetics still made the V-groove popular. In terms of data from third-party evaluation agencies, test-achats tested 11 mainstream products in the Belgian market, and quickly won the top three.
In 2007, Kuaibu added a new product line, expanding from a single category to solid wood composite and PVC flooring, but in terms of status, laminate flooring is still Kuaibu's main business. In 2013, Unilin, backed by the flooring giant Mohawk, acquired Pergo, and its global influence is becoming stronger and stronger, but it must be said that in China, the share of imported flooring is very small, so except for a few independent brands, most foreign flooring brands are operated by Chinese agents, each agent usually acts as an agent for a number of imported flooring brands, among which the more well-known ones are Degao, Bimei, Feimei, Jingang Bolin, etc., at present, Kuaibu is represented by Degao, If users need to buy, they can research and purchase in Degao's stores or flagship stores.
At present, all mainstream products of Kuaibu, including the economical series Creo Dream with a thickness of only 7mm, are Class 32. This means that durability is not an issue in a typical home environment. According to different positioning, there are currently dream, classic, wide board, vision, comfort, elite, extreme, supreme, elegant and other series. The rich appearance of the color is also a major feature of the fast step flooring, the difference in specifications can provide suitable styles for different sizes of space, most models have V-slots, which also makes the floor three-dimensional and texture better. In addition to wood grain laminate flooring with different textures, Kuaibu also has imitation stone, and even imitation fabric, leather and other appearance options with different textures.
Specific to the product, if you pursue cost-effectiveness, the two series of Creo Dream and Classic are the most worthy of consideration. At present, the flagship store of the dream series products is priced at about 180 yuan, and the 8mm ClassicThe price of the classic series is about 200 yuan, and we recommend the more mainstream one. It is worth noting that the two series of comfort and elite, in terms of configuration, there is no significant difference between the two series and the classic series, but the current flagship store is more expensive and the cost performance is more average.
If there are higher requirements, thickness, specifications of larger vision, wide plate series is also worth considering, these two series are thickened to 9.5mm, wide plate series is 2050x240mm large plate, but the price is slightly higher, the current general price is more than 400 yuan. In addition, quick-step stone, cloth, leather and square parquet flooring are concentrated in the two series of style and elegance, and the price is generally between 600-700 yuan.
The Extreme Impressive and Extreme Majestic are the two new collections launched by Quickstep, which can be said to be Quickstep's current flagships. Similar to the Pergo Texture series, the biggest selling point is the water-repellent coating, which can withstand a certain amount of humidity. The Impressive series is composed of two sub-series, the 8mm Impressive and the 12mm Impressive Ultra, referred to as the IM and IMU series. Compared with the basic IM series, the biggest advantage of the IMU series is that the durability level has reached Class 33, which is aimed at places that require higher use strength. The Extreme is a 2050x240x9.5mm wide and long board, which can be understood as an upgraded model of the IM series and the IMU series. According to the different specifications, the price of the Ultimate and Supreme series starts at 300 yuan, and the highest is about 500 yuan.
