Almost everyone loves a natural wood floor, but not everyone loves the worry when their new wood floor comes close to water. Worries like these may once have seen other flooring options win through, but that need not be the case any longer thanks to Quick-Step and its waterproof wood ranges. Quick-Step is so confident in the way these floors fight off water that it even says they are suitable for use in bathrooms, once a strict ’no go’ area.
The Quick-Step Amato, Cascada and Cala wood floor collections are 100% waterproof. Protected with the Hydroseal water repellent coating, water can stay on these floors for up to 72 hours without causing damage – plenty of time to mop up any spills. What’s more, the precision milled Uniclic Mulitfit joint makes it impossible for water to seep through the joints.
These waterproof wood collections also feature Wood for Life, a unique technology that means dirt and spilled foods won’t get stuck in the joints or to the grain, helping to keep these floors looking like new and making them ready for every stage of life. From young families to empty nesters, Quick-Step is the key to beautiful and lasting natural wood flooring.
Niall Cassidy, retail sales manager, Unilin, says, “There’s little doubt that a real wood floor is one of the most desirable floors out there, but for many homeowners the fears of damage from water and difficult maintenance often have them searching elsewhere. We wanted to make these fears a thing of the past and so our research and development team set to work. The results of their innovative product development has often seen us lead the world, and our waterproof wood floors are no different – the world’s first and only available at Quick-Step retailers around the country.”
100% waterproof wood floors first entered the Quick-Step collection in 2022 with the Cascada collection and was expanded in 2025 by Cala and Amato. The range covers compact planks in Amato, wide and long planks with Cala and classic planks with the original Cascada. Every floor enjoys the same 15-year waterproof warranty and features Wood for Life. Installation with suitable Quick-Step accessories is required to uphold 15-year Wood for Life waterproof and lifetime quality and click system warrantees.
