Do I really need expansion joints between every room?
No, thanks to the Uniclic click system, Quick-Step laminate floors can cover areas up to 13 by 13 meters without expansion profiles — even between rooms — provided your room is fairly square and the indoor temperature and humidity don’t fluctuate much. This allows the flooring to flow seamlessly from one space to another, creating a smooth, uninterrupted look that enhances the sense of space and provides a clean, cohesive aesthetic.
Expansion joints are still required in the following cases:
- If a doorway is narrower than 80 cm
- For transition from a room with to a room without floor heating or cooling
- If the total installed surface (the sum of all rooms) is more than 13 by 13 meters
For complete details, please refer to the installation instructions or contact the Quick-Step technical department if you have any questions.
