Quick-Step Largo Laminate Flooring

Quick-Step Largo represents the pinnacle of laminate flooring design, offering planks that are truly exceptional in size. At over two metres long and impressively wide, these boards minimise joins and maximise impact, lending an unparalleled feeling of openness and grandeur to your interiors. This makes Largo particularly well-suited for larger living areas, dining rooms, and open-plan spaces where the scale of the planks can be fully appreciated, transforming the room’s perspective.

The aesthetic appeal of Largo is matched by its technical prowess. Each plank features Quick-Step’s exclusive Scratch Guard technology, providing a top layer that is up to ten times more resistant to micro-scratches than standard laminate flooring. This ensures your floor maintains its beautiful appearance for longer, even in high-traffic areas or homes with children and pets. Furthermore, the revolutionary HydroSeal coating applied to the surface creates a fully water-resistant barrier. This crucial feature allows Largo laminate to be installed in areas prone to spills and moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms, offering a seamless and stylish wood-effect look where traditional laminates might falter.

Installation is simplified thanks to the patented Uniclic system, renowned for its speed, ease, and strength. The planks click together effortlessly, ensuring a secure and stable floor. While designed for straightforward installation, professional fitting by Grosvenor Flooring’s expert teams guarantees a perfect finish, optimal performance, and adherence to warranty conditions, especially important when handling the larger format planks. Quick-Step offers a wide array of stunningly realistic oak designs within the Largo range, from classic natural hues to contemporary grey tones, each with perfectly matched bevels and surface textures that mimic the authentic grain and feel of real timber.

Choosing Quick-Step Largo from Grosvenor Flooring means investing in a floor that combines breathtaking aesthetics with cutting-edge technology and durability. It’s a statement floor designed to impress and endure, backed by Quick-Step’s reputation for quality and innovation, and supported by Grosvenor Flooring’s expert advice and installation services. Complete the look with perfectly matching skirting boards and profiles for a truly professional and cohesive finish.

Is Quick-Step Largo Laminate Right for You? A Buying Guide

Quick-Step Largo offers a unique combination of large-scale design and advanced features. This guide helps you determine if it’s the ideal choice for your project:

• Room usage / Location: Largo’s expansive planks create a sense of luxury and space, making them ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, and larger bedrooms. Thanks to the HydroSeal water-resistant technology, it’s also an excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms, offering a practical yet beautiful wood look in moisture-prone areas. The large plank size works best visually in medium to large rooms.
• Lifestyle: Perfect for active households, including those with children or pets. The superior Scratch Guard technology provides excellent resistance against scratches, scuffs, and daily wear. The water-resistant surface adds peace of mind against spills, and its easy-clean nature simplifies maintenance routines.
• Budget: As a premium laminate range featuring extra-large planks and advanced technologies like Scratch Guard and HydroSeal, Largo sits at a higher price point than standard laminate flooring. However, it offers significant value considering its durability, aesthetic impact, water resistance, and long warranty periods. Remember to factor in the cost of quality underlay and professional installation from Grosvenor Flooring for a complete project estimate.
• Durability & Maintenance: Largo is designed for longevity. The Scratch Guard top layer offers exceptional protection against micro-scratches, while the core board provides stability. The HydroSeal coating ensures water resistance on the surface. Maintenance is simple: regular sweeping or vacuuming (with a soft brush attachment) and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for laminate floors is sufficient.
• Material Type Pros & Cons:
  • Pros: Stunning extra-long and wide plank format creates a spacious feel; Highly realistic wood designs and textures; Exceptional scratch resistance (Scratch Guard); Water-resistant surface suitable for kitchens/bathrooms (HydroSeal); Easy and strong Uniclic installation system; Compatible with underfloor heating; Durable and long-lasting; Often more affordable than equivalent real wood.
  • Cons: Not real wood; Requires a level subfloor for best results; Can feel harder or sound louder underfoot than carpet without appropriate underlay; While durable, deep scratches or heavy impacts can still cause damage.
• Aesthetics & Style: The defining feature is the extra-large plank size (over 2m long), creating a dramatic and luxurious effect. Available in a variety of authentic oak décors, from light and airy to rich and dark tones, catering to diverse interior styles. The unique bevels are designed to complement the character of each specific décor, enhancing realism.
• Comfort & Sound: Laminate is a harder surface than carpet. Using a high-quality underlay (such as those offered by Quick-Step) is crucial for improving underfoot comfort, reducing impact sound (walking noise), and providing thermal insulation.
• Underfloor Heating: Quick-Step Largo laminate flooring is compatible with common types of low-temperature water-based or electric underfloor heating systems when installed correctly with the appropriate underlay. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for temperature limits and installation procedures.
• Installation: Features the user-friendly Uniclic system for a floating installation. While DIY is possible for those with experience, the large plank size can be more challenging to handle. Professional installation by Grosvenor Flooring’s trained fitters is recommended to ensure a flawless finish, correct subfloor preparation, and warranty validity.
• Sustainability: Quick-Step is committed to sustainability. Their laminate floors are typically PEFC certified, indicating wood sourced from sustainably managed forests. They also focus on low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions, contributing to healthier indoor air quality. Laminate is generally a resource-efficient flooring choice.
