Quick-Step Academy for Excellence in Flooring AU/NZ

The Floorscape team proudly presented our Impressive Design Herringbone laminate range at Flooring Xtra Mt Wellington last Friday! 🪵✨

We had a great turnout with installers, sales teams, management, and more joining us for an early start, breakfast included!

Our Academy Trainer, Diego, delivered a quick live demo showcasing how to install the new range and highlighting the advantages of our single‑board format featuring the patented Unizip locking system. He also spent time answering general questions from attendees.

Stay tuned — we’ll soon be launching a one‑day course in New Zealand dedicated to installing this exciting new product. 📅

The Academy for Excellence in Flooring Powered by Quick‑Step and Pergo Team

It’s not often the whole industry gets together like this. Having a booth at the MCG for FloorTec 2026 last month was a massive highlight — it was great to catch up with installers, apprentices, and trades who keep the flooring industry moving. Seeing so much talent coming through, the future is in great hands 🛠️✨

The celebrations didn’t stop there. Swapping the work gear for suits and gowns the following night at the FCIA Gala Ball was the perfect way to cap it off🥂👔

A huge thanks to for putting on such great events. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth to say hello!

🎉 Happy New Year to all flooring installers and professionals across our industry!🎉

We hope 2026 brings you safe jobs, strong partnerships, and continued success on and off the tools.

Congratulations to our newest Master Installers!

A big shoutout to Felipe Aguayo, Christian Stones from Queenstown Flooring Xtra, and Sean Braid from Choices Flooring New Zealand Christchurch for earning their Quick-Step Master Installer certification.

Your attention to detail set the bar high for quality flooring installations. Special mention to Sean, his background as a builder clearly shines through in his flooring work. That experience transfers beautifully!

We wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you back at the Academy soon to earn your Glue Down Flooring Certification.

👏 Keep up the amazing work!

🚀 Quickest turn-around in Academy history? Quite possibly!

Big shoutout to Lee Fitchett from Island Flooring Designs! 👏

Lee joined us just two months ago and smashed his Master Installer accreditation. A month later, he was back for our Glue Down Engineered Timber course—talk about dedication! 💪

Lee is an exceptional installer with years of experience in hard flooring and carpet. Working with Island Flooring Designs, a locally owned Waiheke company, he helps deliver top-notch flooring solutions to the island community.

🎉 Big shoutout to Tybias Bird — one of the winners of the BCITO Apprentice of the Year awards! 🏆

As part of his prize, Tybias scored a free Master Installer course, and he’s already showing why he’s making a name for himself in the flooring world.

He’s a quick learner, very professional, and has a sharp eye for detail. Not only that ....he’s fast! If you want your flooring done quickly and to a top standard, Tybias is your guy. 💪

He works full-time in Thames with the awesome team at On All Floors- Flooring Xtra Thames and will be back later this month to get his MI Glue Down Engineered Timber certification.

Wishing you all the best, Tybias. We’re excited to see where your skills take you next! 🙌

Our last Master Installer Glue Down Engineered Timber course ran like clockwork 👌

We had an awesome crew of skilled installers join us to learn new techniques and
share their own experience and tricks of the trade.

Massive shoutout to Elias Barbosa Zapashik from Leading Flooring , Ricardo Soares Da Cunah from Premier Wood Flooring , and Graham Hamill from GH Building & Flooring. You guys were absolute legends! Professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with.

Can’t wait for the next one!
