THE new-look Quick-Step Impressive collection is said to bring larger patterns, new structures and the world’s first 100% creak-free, waterproof herringbone laminate floor. ‘The original Quick-Step Impressive collection was introduced in 2014 as the world’s first waterproof laminate floor. Since its introduction, it’s become a cornerstone range for the international flooring brand, renowned for its refined, authentic designs and confidence-inspiring quality and durability.’

For 2025, Quick-Step is introducing eight designs to the collection across two brand-new structures. These join the 10 best-selling Impressive looks to bring an optimised collection of 18 natural wood designs that welcome nature indoors.

Says the company: ‘For the first time, Impressive now also comes in six herringbone styles in an elegant and lifelike surface texture that’s unique to these herringbone planks.

‘Both standard planks and herringbone planks share the same legendary Quick-Step quality, waterproof construction, ultra-resistant top layer and fast and easy installation. In fact, the herringbone floors of Impressive Designs are just as easy to install as regular planks, thanks to the Unizip joint that eliminates the need for separate A/B plank types.’

The company continues: ‘The new Smooth structure found in regular Impressive planks presents an elegant grain and fine wood pores with a refined bevel. Contrasting this clean look comes the new Rich structure. As its name suggests, this feels more vibrant and alive with spirited knots adding depth of character.’

Continues Unilin: ‘While distinct in their look, these new textures and colours do share one thing in common: each is available with an extraordinary 20 planks per design. By increasing the number of unique planks available, Quick-Step has made sure these additions to the Impressive line-up look even more natural and take another step closer to nature.

‘Impressive Designs comes in six colours presented in an elegant and lifelike surface texture that’s unique to these herringbone planks.

‘The fine grain and wood pores with a refined bevel make for a distinguished herringbone floor in every colour: Ginger Oak, Cardamom Oak, Nutmeg Oak, Cumin Oak, Cinamon Oak and Charred Oak, ensure a selection across light, medium and dark shades.

‘With Impressive Designs, consumers can bring a unique and exclusive style to their home. Every one of Impressive Designs’ discerning herringbone looks has a trick up its sleeve to make these floors feel even more natural. A much bigger pattern than standard laminate floors gives an extraordinary 56 planks per colour, making this herringbone floor look even more natural and closer to nature.’

The company concludes: ‘The herringbone styles of Impressive Designs collection come in 8mm specification, meaning they can be installed alongside standard Impressive floors (excludes Impressive Ultra) to bring what’s described as a unique look with the reassuring quality of Quick-Step.’
