DISCOVER OUR PASSION FOR WOOD At Quick-Step, we must admit that we’re perfectionists. Perfectionists when it comes to design, and passionate when it comes to details. Which is why we work at getting it right day and night. Everything starts with the wood itself. We’re fascinated by the structure, the touch and the smell - we lose ourselves deep into its grain, knots and lines. But most of all, we’re passionate about the craftsmanship and design that allow us to create a contemporary engineered wooden floor out of the most noble of nature’s raw materials. In designing our floors, we keep a constant eye on interior design and fashion trends. We visit the hippest cities, read the latest blogs and keep up-to-date with the latest fashion colour ranges. That’s how we spot a trend, even long before it becomes one. And it’s also how we manage to tell the difference between hype and timeless design. When we start working on the creation of our elegantly composed wooden floors, we aim for the perfect balance between the type of wood, the grading, the colour, structure, finishing and plank size. Our Variano product, for example, is made of a variety of planks of different lengths, widths and finishes, all combined to make a beautiful and eye-catching floor with a distinct reclaimed look. By combining the artisan characteristics of our wood with the latest design and production technology we succeed in making Parquet floors that are truly unique. At Quick-Step, we don’t just make the most beautiful floors, we also aim to create the most efficient ones. Some of our new floors, for instance, feature extra matt lacquer, which means you can have an authentic untreated look and at the same time enjoy the advantages of a lacquered floor.

This is how we realise our dreams. With Parquet floors that are not only trendy today, but will also be a classic tomorrow.

Walnut Walnut has a warm brown colour which contrasts with the whitish sapwood.

Merbau Merbau varies widely from orange towards dark reddish brown.

Jatoba Jatoba planks are reddish pink and brown, with straight grain.

TYPES OF grading Each tree is unique, and different parts of the same tree produce different surface textures and appearances. We have a unique grading system that is easy to understand and transparent. Our floors are sorted into five different categories. This is to give you a better idea of how your floor will look.

TYPES OF structures

Brushed Deep Brushed By brushing the surface of a wood plank the natural grain structure is accentuated. Some of our floors even have a deep brushing to create an extra authentic feel.

Saw cut The random marks of the sawn surface show off the craftsmanship and character of the wood planks.

Timeworn Each plank of a timeworn wood floor has a particularly authentic perspective and sloping aged edges.

Reclaimed look and sunken knots On some of our floors in the Imperio, Palazzo and Variano ranges, the knots are not fully filled, so that you can feel the authentic character of your floor even more. Moreover, our Variano floors have a reclaimed look, which means that they show sawcuts, height differences and gaps.

Quick•Step® oil care: periodical use If you take care of your Quick‑Step oiled floor from the start, it will age beautifully and you will delay the need to re-oil. Compare this to moisturising your hands; you wash them regularly, but by doing so your hands become dry. A good moisturiser protects your hands. The Quick‑Step Oil Care does the same with your oiled floor: it protects and maintains your floor, preventing it from drying out and looking dull, restoring it to its original beauty. QSCare750
