Quick-Step Blos Vinyl Flooring

Quick-Step Blos Vinyl flooring represents a significant advancement in luxury vinyl tile (LVT) technology, offering homeowners a sophisticated and highly practical flooring solution. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the Blos range captures the subtle textures, grain patterns, and natural colour variations found in genuine hardwood floors. This realism provides an elegant foundation for various interior styles, from contemporary minimalist designs to classic, traditional aesthetics, without the inherent drawbacks of natural wood.

One of the standout features of the Quick-Step Blos collection is its 100% waterproof nature. Unlike wood or laminate, Blos vinyl planks are completely impervious to water and spills, making them an excellent choice for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and entrance halls. This eliminates concerns about swelling, warping, or water damage, providing peace of mind in areas where moisture is common. This waterproof quality also simplifies cleaning, as the floor can be easily mopped without risk.

Durability is paramount in the Blos design. Quick-Step incorporates its proprietary Scratch & Stain Guard technology, creating a robust top layer that offers superior resistance to scratches, scuffs, dirt, and stains. This makes Blos vinyl exceptionally well-suited for busy households, homes with children or pets, and even light commercial environments. The enhanced protection ensures the floor retains its beautiful appearance for years with minimal effort, maintaining its value and appeal long after installation.

Installation is streamlined thanks to Quick-Step’s renowned Uniclic system. This patented click-lock mechanism allows the planks to be fitted together quickly and securely without the need for adhesive, creating a seamless ‘floating’ floor. The ease of installation makes it suitable for professional fitters, ensuring an efficient process, and it can often be installed directly over existing level hard flooring, reducing preparation time and disruption. Grosvenor Flooring’s expert fitting teams, serving areas including Altrincham, Manchester, and Cheshire, ensure a perfect finish every time, maximising the performance and longevity of your Quick-Step Blos floor.

Beyond its practical benefits, Quick-Step Blos Vinyl offers enhanced comfort underfoot compared to harder surfaces like ceramic tiles or stone. It feels warmer and softer, contributing to a more pleasant and inviting home environment. Additionally, its acoustic properties help dampen footfall noise, creating quieter living spaces. Compatibility with water-based underfloor heating systems further adds to its comfort credentials. Available through Grosvenor Flooring, you can explore the full range in our Altrincham showroom and benefit from our expert advice and professional supply and fit service across the North West.
