Seamless Style from Floor to Stair: Discover QuickStep's Innovative Laminate Solution.
QuickStep has established itself as a frontrunner in the world of laminate flooring, celebrated for its realistic aesthetics, robust construction, and straightforward installation. Beyond creating beautiful floors, QuickStep offers an ingenious and visually appealing system that extends the charm of laminate seamlessly onto your staircase, transforming your entire home with a continuous flow.
The QuickStep Stair Solution: Incizo Profile & Stairbase
The secret behind QuickStep's ability to tackle stairs lies in the clever combination of two essential components: the 5-in-1 Incizo profile and the QuickStep Stairbase profile. This dynamic duo ensures a professional, cohesive, and durable finish, allowing your flooring to gracefully transition from room to room and up your stairs.
The Incizo profile is a remarkable piece of design. It's a single, versatile profile that can be effortlessly cut into five different finishing shapes using a supplied slitter. This adaptability makes it perfect for various applications, including expansion joints, transitions between different floor types, and, critically, as the stair nosing for a laminate staircase. When applied to stairs, the Incizo profile provides a neat, hard-wearing edge to each step, protecting the laminate from daily wear and tear while maintaining a sleek appearance.
Working in tandem with the Incizo is the QuickStep Stairbase profile. This specifically designed aluminium sub-profile creates a solid and stable foundation for the Incizo on each stair tread. It provides the necessary structural support for the laminate to be laid securely over your existing steps, resulting in a strong, safe, and visually unified staircase.
How Much Does QuickStep Solution Costs per Step?
The cost of fitting stairs with QuickStep laminate flooring will vary between £30 - £35 per step, excluding QuickStep accessories and the laminate flooring itself.
What else is requited?
For a flight of 14 steps, allow approx. 6-7 sqm of your preferred choice of QuickStep flooring.
The average cost of QuickStep Incizo profile (to be used for stair nosing) is approx. £30 for a length of 2.15 meters. Considering standard stairs case width is between 80 - 90 cm with, one length will be sufficient for 2 steps.
The average cost of QuickStep Aluminium Stairbase profile (to be used for holding the nosing and planks) is approx. £30 for a length of 2.15 meters. One length will be sufficient for 2 steps.
The above brings a total of £30 per meter for QuickStep accessories + cost of flooring required. Check prices for laying lamination flooring as well.
