Quick-Step Original laminate is built for real-life Kenyan homes and demanding commercial spaces. You get proven wear performance (AC4 / AC5), water resistance where laminate normally fails (the joints), and a high-density core engineered for stability and long-term durability.
Decomagna provides end-to-end supply + installation across Kenya with dedicated in-house teams and a warranty card on completion.
Many laminate options look similar on day one — the difference shows after months of foot traffic, furniture movement, wet-mopping, and Kenya’s humidity patterns. Quick-Step is engineered to reduce the common failure points: weak joints, porous cores, and low wear performance.
AC ratings help you understand how a laminate floor will handle real-world abrasion (grit, shoes, chair movement) and daily wear. “Service Class” translates that performance into typical use environments.
| Rating | Typical Use | Service Class | Best Fit Examples (Kenya) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC3 | Heavy residential | 31 | Bedrooms, moderate traffic areas |
| AC4 | Residential + light commercial | 32 | Apartments, offices, boutique spaces |
| AC5 | Heavy commercial | 33 | Retail, restaurants, corridors, high-traffic areas |
With Quick-Step Original ranges rated at AC4 / AC5 (Service Class 32 / 33), you’re choosing a floor designed to stay sharp under the kind of daily abrasion Kenyan spaces see.
Laminate is layered (wear layer, décor, HDF core, backing). The main vulnerability is the HDF core: if water gets into the joint, the core can swell. HydroSeal is designed to reduce that risk by protecting bevels/edges and improving resistance where laminate normally fails.

The click joint is not just “how it installs” — it’s how the floor survives. Uniclic is widely recognized and licensed across the industry because it delivers consistent locking strength and tight tolerances that help reduce micro-gaps over time.
Thickness alone can be misleading. Some floors advertise thick boards but use lower-density (more porous) cores. Core density matters because it influences strength, joint integrity, and how quickly moisture can be absorbed at cut edges or joints.
Quick-Step laminate typically uses a high-density HDF core (often specified around > 1,000 kg/m³ depending on the range), which translates into a core that is harder, less porous, and better able to support a stable click joint over time.
Many floors fail on the surface long before the structure fails. Quick-Step’s wear-layer technology (often branded as Scratch Guard) is designed for significantly improved scratch resistance — especially relevant in Kenya where dust and grit are common.
A premium floor is not just a product — it’s the final result of correct preparation, correct installation, and correct finishing. Here are examples from Kenya.
Quick-Step is known for consistent manufacturing standards and long-term product support. Many ranges are offered with up to 25-year residential warranty and wet-area warranty (often up to 10 years, product-dependent). We’ll confirm the exact warranty for your chosen product and application during the site survey.
Even the best flooring can fail if the base is wrong or the installation is rushed. Decomagna operates with dedicated in-house teams, meaning your project stays under one accountable system — survey, prep, installation, finishing, and handover.
The best option depends on use-case. Here’s a practical comparison for Kenya.
| Category | Laminate (Quick-Step) | SPC / Rigid Vinyl | Engineered Wood |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface wear / scratch resistance | Excellent (wear layer tech + AC rating) | Good–very good (varies by wear layer) | Good (depends on top veneer + finish) |
| Water resistance | High at joints with HydroSeal (product-dependent) | Excellent (waterproof core) | Moderate (requires care, humidity management) |
| Dent resistance | Strong core / stable feel (varies by system) | Can dent under heavy point loads (varies) | Can dent/scratch depending on species and finish |
| Look & feel | Ultra-realistic “wood look” with strong texture | Good prints; texture varies by grade | Real wood (premium, natural character) |
| Best fit | Busy homes, offices, retail, corridors | Wet areas, rentals, highly spill-prone zones | Premium interiors where real timber is desired |

We don’t publish generic pricing because correct pricing depends on your square meters, room usage, subfloor condition, and finishing details. Our approach is to deliver premium European quality at strategically positioned rates — with professional installation and accountability.
