Where it works

This laminate suits living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, halls and dining areas. It holds up in bathrooms and utility rooms too, thanks to the water-resistant treatment. The herringbone pattern adds visual interest to open-plan spaces and works equally well in smaller rooms. Light commercial settings like offices and shared halls are fine as well.

Installation and underfloor heating

The click-lock system makes fitting straightforward. You’ll need laminate flooring underlay underneath to cushion the floor and smooth out minor subfloor variations. The product is compatible with underfloor heating systems, so you can install it over a warm floor without risk of cupping or cracking.

Looking after it and warranty

Maintenance is simple. Sweep or vacuum regularly to clear grit, and wipe up spills promptly with a damp cloth. The water-resistant core means small splashes won’t seep into the boards, but standing water should still be avoided. Quick-Step Impressive Design comes with a lifetime household warranty covering the laminate itself, plus a 5-year commercial warranty if you install it in a trade setting.
