    Can anybody recommend a laminate thats cheaper than Quick Step but just as easy to fit, with the Uniclic system.
    Thanks

    Licheer do a few ranges they're cheaper than Quickstep and have a similar fitting system, but truthfully you can't beat good old quickstep

    Yeah very easy, just a bit of a pain having to sand of the small lip on the groove and glueing it. Makes it a once down its down product, also the wear layer is weak compared to pergo and quick step. Still a good product.

    it does fit well but doesn't have the uniclic system which for a similar price is a superior system

    plus the print on quickstep has a higher micron content giving a sharper more defined image :D

    the uniclic system is actually patented quickstep do allow other companies to use a similar system but they never do quite measure up, even some of the dearer products such a pergo have a lesser fitting system to some degree. didn't Finsa do a similar one?

    When it's not possible to tilt the planks to get them to click together, for instance, a hallway with doors at both sides. You can slide the starting planks under the architrave but not the last row. So you have to remove some of the locking system. :smile:
