IMPRESSIVE Designs is the world’s first 100% waterproof, creak-free herringbone laminate floor, says Quick-Step.
The ongoing popularity of herringbone means many homeowners are no longer considering it as a special ‘feature’ option, but rather as a ready alternative to plank laying patterns. So, as an installer or retailer, you want a floor that offers all the same security and ease of standard planks. Quick-Step’s Impressive Designs laminate floor is just that: a herringbone plank guaranteed 100% waterproof and creak-free and that uses Unizip for fast installation, says the company.
‘Impressive Designs is available in six natural oak tones. From the light, clean grade of Ginger Oak to the rich, rustic and warming Cinnamon Oak, it has a herringbone look to match any interior style. With Quick-Step’s authentic bevel that takes pattern and texture to the very edge of each plank and a pattern that gives an extraordinary 56 planks per colour, Impressive Designs brings the brand’s unmistakable true natural look to herringbone.
‘It’s also wonderfully easy to install thanks to the Unizip locking profile. An evolution of the world famous Uniclic profile, this clever system eliminates the need for separate ‘A&B’ planks, meaning that installing herringbone is easier and faster with less wastage.
What’s more, the precision and strength of Unizip completely eliminates the creak that can occur with other herringbone click systems and means moisture can’t seep between joints. Alongside the Hydroseal coating that repels water, it guarantees a 100% waterproof herringbone floor that can be used in bathrooms and kitchens.’
Niall Cassidy, retail manager, Unilin Flooring UK, says, ‘Quick-Step Impressive Designs makes herringbone a simpler, less fussy proposition for installers. Not only that, but it also brings homeowners a quality laminate floor that looks natural and performs beautifully. Impressive Designs democratises herringbone and can be enjoyed in every room in the home.’
Continues the company: ‘Through its enduring quality, waterproof construction and tough surface, the Impressive Designs laminate collection is a long-lasting herringbone floor made almost entirely from wood (80%). What’s more, the 100% recovered wood used in the HDF core of Impressive is from sawmills and landscape maintenance rather than forestry.
‘The new Impressive Designs collection comes in 8mm specification, meaning it can be installed alongside standard Impressive planks (excludes Impressive Ultra). The floor’s 100% creak-free, waterproof construction, refined texture, 56 individual planks and famed Belgian quality keep Quick-Step always a step ahead of other laminate floors.’
