Laminate floors are valued for their durability, exceptional scratch resistance, and highly realistic wood-like appearance. They are a versatile and high-performance product, made even better by the advanced technologies that optimize their performance and durability.
At Unilin Technologies, we provide a wide range of innovations that elevate laminate flooring to the next level. We continue to set new standards, from our world-famous locking systems to design enhancements, core technologies, waterproofing solutions and recycling processes.

Angle locking requires the planks to be installed through an angular movement, or alternatively through horizontally tapping them into place.
For all Unilin locking systems, angling is the main installation method for the long side of the panel. With Uniclic, angle installation is also possible on the short side of the panel.
Drop locking, also sometimes referred to as fold-down locking, is used on the short side of the panel and involves dropping the panels into place, making it especially suitable for DIY-projects.
The following technologies fall under the classification of drop- or fold-down locking: Unidrop, Unifit and Unipush.
There are several different options to lay a herringbone floor, each of them designed for a secure and seamless installation.
Choose Unizip for a hassle-free herringbone installation, using just one type of panel.
Alternatively, choose traditional herringbone flooring with leftsided and rightsided panels with either a Uniclic locking technology or a Unidrop locking technology.

We license patented single- and multi-pass digital printing technologies, both used in printing on decor paper , as well as in direct to board printing and digital embossing.
In ceramics, digital printing has been the standard for many years, while in the flooring & furniture markets, digital printing hasn't yet been fully adopted, mainly because of high costs and low printing speeds.
However, over the last decade Unilin has carried out an extensive research and development program to overcome these shortcomings.
The combination of the right equipment, the right ink, the right primer, together with our know-how and intellectual property is key in this project.
