Quick-Step Features 24-Hour Spill Protection At CCA

 

Dallas, TX – July 13, 2016 – Quick-Step is prominently featuring the revolutionary Spill Protection of its Envique laminate flooring collection in Quick-Step’s booth #215 at this week’s CCA Convention.

“Quick-Step’s Envique collection is not only beautiful, but offers an amazing 24-Hour Spill Protection assurance — virtually eliminating all of the real-life moisture concerns that can happen daily in a typical home,” said Roger Farabee, senior vice president of laminate for Mohawk Laminate & Hardwood, North America. “Envique features proprietary technology that creates outstanding visuals and offers a very unique performance story. There is no other laminate floor like it on the specialty retail market today.”

No Crying Over Spilled Milk
“Retailers visiting our Quick-Step booth during CCA will learn about the amazing 24-Hour Spill Protection of an Envique laminate floor,” said Paij Thorn-Brooks, vice president of brand marketing for Mohawk Laminate & Hardwood, North America. “Never a reason to ‘cry over spilled milk’ with an Envique floor!”


Unique Spill Protection
Envique’s 24-Hour Spill Protection guards against the most typical wet mishaps that happen in a home — whether a spilled beverage, water sloshed out of a dog bowl, a toddler’s leaky sippy cup, or even the occasional puppy “ooops”.

The 24-hour Spill Protection warranty ensures that Envique will not be damaged when exposed to localized topical spills provided spills are removed within 24 hours. With Envique, homeowners have an extra level of assurance that their floors won’t experience the swelling, lifting, or gapping that can happen to other laminate floors when exposed to the typical daily spills of a busy household.

Innovative Technology = Spill Protection
“Envique combines two innovative Quick-Step technologies, HydroSeal and Uniclic, to offer this amazing 24-Hour Spill Protection assurance,” said Farabee. “Quick-Step’s exclusive HydroSeal coating repels water on both the surface and the joint, preventing spills from seeping into the core. Patented Uniclic, the most widely-used glueless installation locking system in the world and one of the very best systems on the market, provides increased protection against water damage and warping. The combination of these two innovative technologies lets Envique offer its amazing 24-Hour Spill Protection.”

“The moisture protection of this innovative feature also means that an occasional damp (not wet) mopping is permitted with Envique floors,” said Farabee. “Although periodic sweeping with a dry dust mop is just about all that is needed to keep an Envique floor looking like new, some homeowners like the option of occasionally damp mopping. An ideal solution to use in a home is a combination of 1 gallon of water with 1 cup of vinegar to get floors extra clean.”

Can Compete With Any Hard Surface Category
“The unique Envique 24-Hour Spill Protection assurance means that these stunning floors are also acceptable for use in bathrooms and kitchens, when proper installation and maintenance instructions are followed,” said Farabee. “Envique can compete with any floor in the hard surface category, including LVF and WPC.”
“Quick-Step’s Envique Collection provides homeowners with luxurious, high-fashion flooring that stands up to real life,” concluded Farabee.
