We want to give our customers the best, which is why we work at getting it right day and night. We’re innovators in our industry.

Born from applied research & development, Livyn embodies the marriage between design and technology, between traditional comfort and innovative engineering. With its natural look and feel, exclusive designs and super matt finish, Livyn is a floor that you’ll immediately feel at home with. Today and for years to come, thanks to our superior stain and scratch resistance and unique patented click system. At Quick-Step we can spot trends long before they come into being.

Whether you opt for a Modern, Country or Classical look, we hope you’ll be inspired by the possibilities of the new Livyn collections to create your own dream interior.
