On popular demand: Unilin Technologies will show Squareclic at Domotex and TISE: a breakthrough solution for flawless checkerboard installation
Checkerboard layouts are a powerful design statement but achieving and maintaining perfect alignment has long been an industry challenge. Squareclic addresses this head-on with an integrated insert that mechanically fixes the position of each tile, ensuring precise square alignment during installation. By eliminating movement between panels, the Squareclic insert prevents shifting and makes the alignment of tiles a breeze.
By integrating the functionality of a separate alignment tool directly into the flooring panel, ease of installation is significantly improved—especially for DIY enthusiasts! At the same time, the mechanically fixed insert can easily be removed at the end of the product’s life cycle, reinforcing Squareclic as a solution that combines installation efficiency with sustainability.
“Checkerboard patterns look fantastic, but they leave little margin for error,” says Floris Koopmans, Sales & Marketing Director at Unilin Technologies. “Squareclic minimizes the risk of shifting panels while making the installation easier than ever. The integrated insert automatically locks into the other panel, creating the perfect alignment between tiles. It keeps the floor looking exactly as intended, even years after installation. Squareclic is a great example of how we translate real market needs into practical, robust technologies. It combines design freedom with technical reliability and gives manufacturers full flexibility in how they bring patterned tile products to market.”
Squareclic is fully compatible with Unilin’s existing click systems, allowing manufacturers to integrate the technology into their current product platforms with minimal changes needed. The insert can be pre-installed during production, further simplifying on-site installation: just angle in the panels and the floor is ready. In addition, Squareclic is also compatible with products manufactured with and without a pad-attached, giving producers maximum freedom in product design and positioning.
