A new standard in laminate flooring

A new standard in laminate flooring

Laminate flooring is not all cut from the same cloth. Take the new ‘Majestic’ range from Quick Step.  Using the same ground-breaking technology, functionality and water resistance that Quick Step is known for, paired with a new aesthetic for a timeless but trendy finish.

Architectural inspiration

Quick-Step’s design team has been keeping a keen eye on the latest and most diverse trends in architecture, fashion and interiors. The resulting floor is both timeless and trendy, as well as seamlessly fitting in with consumer demands. “We have noticed the start of a backlash against the Scandinavian trend, with dark colours such as brown now reappearing”, explains Oke Nollet, Design Director of Quick-Step. “The combination of oak and long, wide floor planks lend a luxurious touch to any interior. Majestic is Quick-Step’s grandest, most opulent laminate floor ever!”

The Majestic range is comprised of extra-wide, extra-
long planks (2050 x 240mm in fact), which is a perfect and luxurious to your home. Quick-Step’s latest laminate collection will not only introduce a warm glow into your home, but also lend it a touch of royal glamour. Majestic combines a matchless wooden look with ease of maintenance.

Just like the real thing

It’s fair to describe Majestic as an innovative floor par excellence: it is an unprecedented combination
of the best of both worlds. On the one hand, the oak floor’s authentic appearance is unrivalled. Thanks
to the designers’ detailed research and advanced technologies, the floor not only looks natural, but also genuinely feels natural. On the other hand, its technical characteristics are quite simply outstanding, and Majestic offers all the advantages of the latest generation of laminate floors. The planks are highly water and scratch resistant, which also makes this flooring perfect for kitchens and bathrooms. You could describe it as luxury 2.0: from now on, expect an unprecedented combination of innovation and luxury.

Brand new colour range

A generous range of eight colours offers a wealth of possibilities: from a vintage or rustic look, to trendy or
contemporary. The accompanying textures and the way in which the grooves are perfectly balanced to match the character of the floor mean that the wood effect created by the Majestic collection is absolutely true to nature. One striking option in this collection is Desert Oak Brushed in Dark Brown. The warm brown, which promises to be a true eye-catcher this season, is a reaction to Scandinavian design where white and light pastel shades play a central role. The dark colour brings a touch of class to your home, creating a cosy, intimate mood. The distinctive, classic oak design is characterised by its flower-like graining, fissures and knots. Particularly when combined with other dark shades (black would be a good choice), the floor adds a touch of luxury to the interior as a whole. The other seven breathtaking decors include Desert Oak Warm Natural, Desert Oak Brushed Grey, Woodland Oak Brown, Valley Oak Light Beige, Woodland Oak Beige, Valley Oak Light Brown, Desert Oak Light Natural. Whatever style fits your personality, you will be spoilt for choice.

Water resistance and durability

Majestic is extremely water resistant thanks to the Hydroseal coating on the bevels. This makes your
new floor not only easy to clean, but also suitable for bathrooms, kitchens and other wet areas. To top it all off, Majestic boasts a 10-year warranty in wet areas and 25 years general warranty for domestic use.
With Majestic, it is a true celebration of smart and beautiful flooring, boasting the latest water-resistant technology, coupled with a suite of lavish tones and hues.

Get sent the ultimate flooring guide for free!

Sponsored by Choices Flooring

Whether you’re renovating, building or just looking for pure inspiration for a new decorating project, the new Inspiring Choices Magazine 2017 has more than 100 pages of the latest in carpet, timber, luxury vinyl, laminate, bamboo, tiles and rugs. Choices Flooring produce this free magazine, which also features interior design and decorating articles, to help you navigate the many choices out there and the practical and style considerations.

(Genero Design Platinum – Luxury Vinyl Plank, Aged Walnut) Just like the activities they host, these spaces have a lot to juggle; technology, writing, materials, style and practicality. Yet, they do so seamlessly.

You can choose to read it online or have the hard copy sent to your home free of charge!

From greeting to completing a room, whether your style’s modern, coastal, or something in-between, you’ll find it in Inspiring Choices 2017. A really great feature this year is that a variety of rooms will be shown with two different flooring options, allowing you compare like with like and really see the effect of different choices. Helpfully, the magazine is broken down into 10 sections: greet, eat, create, sleep, meet, soak, study, escape, grow and complete. They reflect different rooms and guide on the best flooring for each room. 

(Temuka Coronet – Wool Twist, colour Nelson) As a sanctuary from the rest of the home, the true beauty of these spaces come down to feeling.

Let’s face it, the right flooring can really make or break a home, which is why it is so often the first thing we want to change when buying a home, especially an older one. Using the same flooring choice, for example, throughout an an entire apartment can give the feeling of more space. Replacing daggy old carpets with fresh ones in the latest colours, can make the world of difference.

There are so many considerations though, depending on your lifestyle and home, that it can become overwhelming! I, for example, would never ever in a million years have carpet in my dining room when I have a toddler who constantly drops food from his high chair (sometimes deliberately, sometimes not!). While I love the look and practicality of laminate flooring, I do like tiles in the kitchen as a more hardwearing, practical choice. And when it comes to bedrooms, which get less traffic and hopefully no shoes, there’s nothing better than a soft carpet to sink your tootsies into when you get out of bed in the morning!

(Plantino Engineered Oak – Timber 1 Strip (190mm), Species: Veneto) From feeding little ones to hosting dinner parties, these spaces set the scene upon which many memories with loved ones are created.

Bamboo flooring is definitely an option I don’t know as much about and I’d find it really helpful to see it in the context of some styled rooms. It’s all very well seeing planks in store, but you can’t beat seeing a whole room of something. Choices Flooring’s in-store digital technology can also help you get a better idea of how the options will work in your home.

(Eclipse White Matt, Yura Lead & Eclipse Zenith Sardinia Grigio, Tiles) In order to escape an increasingly busy world, these tranquil retreats perfectly balance luxury with the practicality required for everyday living.

If you’re renovating to sell, you may have totally different considerations, based more on price (and your final profit) and your target market.

(Plantino Laminate Deluxe – Laminate 1 Strip, Manhattan Loft) Often considered the heart of the home, these spaces perfectly balance style and practicality.

So what do you have to lose? Order your free copy of the magazine today and browse the options at your leisure for your next decorating project.
