DOMOTEX is off to a great start!
Unilin Technologies – recognised as one of the innovators of groundbreaking flooring technologies that push boundaries and shape the future of the home improvement industry is present at DOMOTEX Hannover which has already started and will be running till January 22, 2026.
Unilin is present at Hall 20, booth C40. Visitors are invited to explore their amazing range of flooring inventions including Squareclic, a revolutionary flooring installation technology. Squareclic offers a solution designed to simplify the installation of checkerboard patterns, ensuring precise alignment and durable results without the need for additional tools.
Simplifying Checkerboard Flooring Installations
Achieving perfect checkerboard layouts has always been a challenge in the flooring industry. The difficulty lies in maintaining flawless alignment, which often requires extra tools or complex methods. However, Squareclic addresses this issue by introducing a unique integrated insert system. This insert mechanically fixes the position of each tile, ensuring that the panels stay perfectly aligned throughout the installation process.
The innovative design of Squareclic eliminates movement between panels, preventing shifting that can ruin the appearance of the floor. By incorporating alignment directly into the flooring panel, it not only simplifies the process but also ensures the tiles remain securely in place for years to come.
They will be showcasing Checkerboard collection as well.
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.
“Checkerboard patterns look fantastic, but they leave little margin for error,” says Floris Koopmans, Sales & Marketing Director at Unilin Technologies.
“Squareclic minimises 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.” Floris added further.
