What Is Quick-Step NatureTEK?
NatureTEK is Quick-Step's laminate platform: a high-density core under a photographic wood-look layer and a hardened wear surface, manufactured in the United States. What distinguishes it within the laminate category is the surface protection — the finish is engineered to resist scratching and scuffing well beyond what standard laminate offers — and the click-together locking system, which installs as a floating floor without glue or nails.
It is sold in two lines, NatureTEK Select and NatureTEK Plus, and the difference between them decides which one suits your room.
NatureTEK Select vs. NatureTEK Plus
| Feature | NatureTEK Select | NatureTEK Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | The core NatureTEK range | The upgraded range |
| Typical use | Bedrooms, living areas, general residential | Busier areas, larger households, light commercial |
| Water performance | Water-resistant surface | Enhanced moisture protection |
| Collections stocked here | Reclaime, Provision | Tilleto, Perdestia, Nesprima |
If you are choosing between them: Select is the right pick for a bedroom, a study or a formal room that sees ordinary residential use. Plus is worth the difference in a hallway, a family kitchen, a home with dogs, or anywhere the floor is going to be walked on all day.
What is an AC Rating?
On the AC rating. Laminate is graded AC1 to AC5 for abrasion resistance. AC3 is rated for all residential use and light commercial. AC4 is rated for heavy residential and general commercial traffic — which is why NatureTEK suits a busy family home or a small office, not only a spare bedroom. If you have been comparing laminate on thickness alone, the AC rating is the more meaningful number.

See It Before You Order
Laminate is difficult to judge from a screen — the depth of the texture and the way the tone shifts under room light are the things that decide whether a floor works, and neither photographs reliably. Use our Room Visualizer to place a NatureTEK floor into a photograph of your own room, request a sample to check the tone against your walls and cabinets in daylight, or book time with a design specialist to work through the collections.
Why Buy NatureTEK From Georgia Carpet
NatureTEK is a floating floor, which means it needs underlayment beneath it unless the planks arrive with a pad already attached — and using the manufacturer's recommended underlayment is often a condition of the warranty. We stock laminate underlayment alongside the flooring, so the specification can be matched at the point of order rather than sorted out on the day of installation.
FAQs About Quick-Step NatureTEK Laminate
How long does NatureTEK flooring last?
In a typical residential setting, a NatureTEK floor should last 15 to 25 years. The AC4 rating means the wear surface is built for heavy residential and general commercial traffic, so the practical limits are usually installation quality and moisture management rather than the floor itself. Quick-Step publishes a residential warranty on the range — ask us for the current term on the collection you are considering.
Is NatureTEK flooring waterproof?
NatureTEK is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. The surface repels spills and handles damp mopping without trouble, but laminate is built on a wood-based core, so water that reaches the core and sits will cause swelling at the seams. That makes it an excellent choice for living areas, bedrooms, hallways and most kitchens. For a bathroom or a laundry room we would point you to waterproof luxury vinyl plank instead.
Does NatureTEK flooring come in different colors?
Yes. NatureTEK spans light, sun-bleached oaks through to deep, warm browns and greyed tones, across several collections, each with its own surface texture. Reclaime leans rustic and reclaimed; other collections run cleaner and more contemporary. Browse the collections above, and request a sample once you have narrowed it down.
Is NatureTEK flooring good for kids?
It is one of the better choices for a household with children. The AC4 wear rating resists the scratching and scuffing that comes with toys, bikes and pets; the surface is sealed, so spills wipe up rather than soaking in; and it is warmer and more forgiving underfoot than tile or stone. If you want the maximum protection available in the range, choose from the NatureTEK Plus line.
