Preference
Unique to the Preference range, customers can choose either a waterproof laminate product or a vinyl flooring option.
Preferences Aquastop laminate flooring is produced by the Swiss Krono Group, one of the world’s most esteemed laminate manufacturers. The technology used to create the laminate range has specifically been engineered for peace of mind and will repel moisture from the usual culprits like spills, damp air, and pets. The 8mm range offers 48 hours of protection and the 14mm range 72 hours of protection, when installed correctly. We recommend using experienced installers who understand the requirements for bathroom and laundry applications. Scratch and impact-resistant, Aquastop laminate is produced from 100% natural materials and sourced from FSC-certified forest resources.
Preference’s Ultimo vinyl plank selection is a smart and fashionable option for residential and light commercial use. 100% waterproof, the vinyl planks deliver a number of world-class traits, such as incredible acoustic performance, minimal maintenance, and visually pleasing designs, including popular Australian timber looks and contemporary oak palettes. The planks are designed to prolong the service life of your floor thanks to the additional reinforcement of a glass fibre backing and a vinyl wear layer to provide stability.
Quick-Step
Those on the hunt for a waterproof floor are spoilt for choice with Quick-Step‘s incredible selection of six laminate ranges, each boasting a variety of unique designs and details. What’s most impressive about the brand is the universal Scratch and Stain Guard technology allowing homeowners to live carefree, no matter which option they choose to install. What’s more, Quick-Step floors are 100% resistant to surface water, meaning they are low maintenance.
For those eco-conscious customers, you’ll be pleased to know the brand has received the EU Ecolabel accreditation, thanks to how it can be disposed of, as well as the wood in the laminate being renewable and holding back CO2 greenhouse gas for the lifetime of the floor.
Quick-Step is also the inventor of the standard click-to-install system, Uniclic, a revolutionary and patented installation system. All of our Back-To-Timber professional installers have the experience and know-how to ensure your Quick-Step laminate floor is installed correctly, so discuss this with us when viewing the range in-store or online.
If completely waterproof flooring isn’t necessary, Back to Timber also stocks alternative water-resistant engineered timber options from Quick-Step. The range features a moisture-repellent Surface & Edge Protect+ technology, which, when installed correctly, can help prevent daily dirt and dust from getting trapped in the joints of the wood, ultimately extending the floor’s lifetime.
