Quick-Step Impressive Laminate Flooring

Quick-Step Impressive laminate flooring represents a significant leap forward in laminate technology, offering a stunning combination of aesthetic appeal and practical resilience. Designed for homeowners who desire the timeless beauty of wood without compromising on durability or water resistance, the Impressive range delivers on all fronts. Its planks feature exceptionally realistic wood grain patterns, colours, and textures, meticulously crafted to capture the essence of natural timber. The unique bevelled edges further enhance this authenticity, creating depth and definition that mirrors traditional hardwood floors.

The standout feature of the Quick-Step Impressive collection is its innovative HydroSeal surface coating. This completely seals the surface of the laminate, preventing water from penetrating the joins and causing swelling or damage. This makes Impressive one of the most water-resistant laminate floors available, confidently extending its use into bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and entrance halls – areas typically challenging for laminate. This waterproof quality provides peace of mind against everyday spills and splashes, ensuring your floor remains beautiful for years to come.

Beyond its water resistance, Quick-Step Impressive boasts superior durability thanks to the patented Scratch Guard top layer. This technology offers up to ten times more scratch resistance than standard laminate floors, making it an ideal choice for busy households, homes with pets, or areas with high foot traffic. The combination of HydroSeal and Scratch Guard ensures the floor can withstand the rigours of daily life while maintaining its sophisticated appearance.

Installation is streamlined with Quick-Step’s renowned Uniclic system. This click-together mechanism allows for quick, easy, and secure fitting, whether floated over an appropriate underlay or glued down. While DIY installation is possible, Grosvenor Flooring highly recommends professional fitting by our expert teams in areas like Altrincham, Manchester, Wilmslow, and Chester. Our experienced fitters ensure correct subfloor preparation, precise installation, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines, guaranteeing optimal performance and validating the product’s warranty, including compatibility with underfloor heating systems.

• Durability & Maintenance: Highly durable due to Scratch Guard technology offering superior scratch resistance. The HydroSeal coating makes it waterproof and very easy to clean – regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping is usually sufficient.
• Material Type Pros & Cons:
  Pros: Highly realistic wood appearance, waterproof surface (HydroSeal), excellent scratch resistance (Scratch Guard), easy click installation (Uniclic), compatible with underfloor heating, wide range of authentic designs.
  Cons: Can be noisier than carpet or LVT if installed without quality acoustic underlay, perceived as less premium than solid or engineered wood by some, requires proper installation for waterproof warranty.
• Aesthetics & Style: Offers incredibly authentic wood looks with detailed grain patterns, textures, and natural colour variations. The bevelled edges enhance the plank definition, mimicking real wood planks effectively. Available in various wood species effects and shades to suit diverse interior designs.
• Comfort & Sound: Provides a comfortable surface underfoot, warmer than tile. Like most hard flooring, using a quality acoustic underlay is recommended to minimise footfall noise and enhance comfort.
• Underfloor Heating: Quick-Step Impressive is compatible with most common types of low-temperature water-based and electric foil mat underfloor heating systems. Always follow specific manufacturer guidelines regarding installation methods and temperature limits, and use the correct underlay.
• Installation: Features the user-friendly Uniclic system for relatively quick installation. However, for the best finish, performance, and to ensure warranty validation (especially regarding waterproof properties and UFH compatibility), professional installation by Grosvenor Flooring’s expert fitters is strongly recommended.
• Sustainability: Quick-Step is committed to sustainability. Impressive laminate often carries PEFC certification, indicating wood sourced from sustainably managed forests. The products are durable, contributing to a longer lifespan and less waste. Check specific product details for certifications.
