QUICK-STEP INTRODUCES
WOOD FOR LIFE FINISH
FOR HARDWOOD FLOORS
Quick-Step has introduced a new varnish technology for its Hardwood floor collection.
Wood for Life is a protective varnish finish that helps protect
the Quick-Step Engineered Wood range from moisture, dirt,
scratches and stains. WOOD FOR LIFE CAN HELP TO PREVENT
THE FOLLOWING 'BATTLE SCARS' FROM
OCCURRING:
It has always proved something of a challenge to maintain
Hardwood's pristine 'just fitted' looks and with busy home
life, it isn't unusual for real wood to show the marks of day to
day use. Wood for Life technology counteracts this with an
improved protection layer. Dirty pores:
Each Quick-Step Hardwood plank is treated separately with
a moisture-, scratch-, stain- and dirt-repellent coating that
prevents dirt getting trapped in the grooves and moisture
seeping into the planks. As an added benefit, the floor is
easier to clean for homeowners.

Traditional wooden floors – unless they are lacquered –
often have a somewhat rough structure. This causes dirt and
dust to get stuck, making the floor look dingy. With Wood
for Life the pores are protected against dirt, preventing that
dull look.
Dark edges and dust:
It's not just the pores that are prone to catching dust. For
many wooden floors, signs of aging are first noticeable on
the edges of the planks and between joints. With Wood for
Life, the dust simply doesn't get the chance to pile up in the
crevices.
