IN a compact plank size of 1820x145mm, Amato is the new waterproof wood floor from Quick-Step that is said to open up narrow rooms such as bathrooms and hallways for a maximal feeling of space.
‘Giving rooms sophistication and functionality, the range is available in seven warm wood shades protected with Wood for Life, Quick-Step’s guarantee of an easy to maintain, durable, scratch and stain resistant wood floor.
‘Wood for Life ensures that Amato never looks dirty or dark, even at joints, and stands up to the shoes, paws and spills of modern family life. Amato is a wood floor that will stay beautiful for years to come. On top of the Wood for Life guarantee, Amato also has a waterproof surface, making its compact planks suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens – two areas that most wood floors want to avoid.’
The company continues, ‘To achieve a waterproof finish, Quick-Step has combined a new and improved click system that tightens up joint tolerances with the Hydroseal water repellent coating on all four sides of the plank. The pairing stops water for up to 72 hours.
‘Of course, it wouldn’t be a Quick-Step floor without easy installation. The Uniclic Multifit system lets installers choose the best installation method for the room. Floating or glued-down, Uniclic Multifit ensures a fast-and-smooth installation. And with Quick-Step’s installation and finishing products upholding the Wood for Life guarantee, you can ensure your customers enjoy a trouble-free wood floor for years to come.’
Adds the company, ‘Giving wood this long life is all part of Quick-Step’s journey to circular production for its floors. Ensuring floors stay looking good and can last a lifetime means they don’t have to be thrown away after a few years. The core and backing of Amato are made from recovered wood or fast-growing trees, while the oak top layer is thinner for less use of sustainably managed timber. Quick-Step is also the first company in the world to develop ground-breaking recycling technology that can now turn the core of its wood floors into new materials.
‘Amato’s oak looks cover all three grades – the clean grain of Nature, occasional knots of Marquant and characterful Vibrant – and a palette of inviting tones ranging from the pale Wintry Forest Oak Extra Matt through to rich Cinnamon Oak Extra Matt. These floors are ideal for smaller properties and apartments where the compact size and warm hues add a balanced and relaxed feel.’
