Unilin Technologies launches market-proven technologies that transform flooring panels into perfectly matched accessories

November 13, 2025
Unilin Technologies, the innovation and IP division of Unilin, proudly announces the launch of a breakthrough manufacturing technology that enables flooring accessories—such as roundnose and square stair covers, transition profiles, and clickable skirtings—to be produced directly from the original flooring panel. Successfully developed, validated and commercialized by Unilin, this technology is a testament to Unilin’ commitment to bringing proven solutions to the market. It guarantees perfect uniformity between the floor and all accompanying accessories, dramatically simplifying production while improving installation and visual consistency.

By starting from the original floor plank, the new technology ensures that every accessory shares the exact same design, texture and color as the flooring itself. This results in a flawless, fully coordinated finish and seamless transitions . Installation is easy, with all accessories simply locking into place. The technology offers stair covers in both a modern square-edge and more traditional round-nose, along with clickable moldings, and profiles.

Today’s accessory production typically involves an extensive color matching process when a new flooring design or color is introduced. An approach that is both time-consuming and costly.

With Unilin’s new technology, accessories are made directly from flooring planks, eliminating the need for any color-matching process. This significantly reduces lead times, lowers production complexity, and enables manufacturers to bring complete collections to market faster, all while improving the scratch resistance and overall quality of the accessories. On top of that, the technology offers great advantages in terms of shipping and SKU management since all accessories have the same length as the floors themselves, allowing them to be shipped together on a pallet. The production process is fully compatible with laminate, engineered wood and SPC core materials, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of flooring products.

Uniclic was the first integrated one-piece locking system to be introduced to the market and has since stayed the industry's favorite due to its unmatched production efficiency and technical performance. Complementing this, the Unidrop system provides a robust and user-friendly fold-down mechanism, ensuring fast and reliable installation while minimizing the risk of edge damages – a common claim in the industry on SPC floors.

“By choosing to integrate both Uniclic and Unidrop, Milat Floor signals a clear intention to lead the premium SPC flooring industry by prioritizing high-performance, premium and easy to install locking systems,” said Louis Van Roy, Business Development Director at Unilin Technologies. “We’re eager to support them as they bring this new SPC offering to life.”
