New QuickStep Oak Floors in Largo range

by Danielle 25. May 2010 14:41
To meet the demand for extra-long and extra-wide planks, QuickStep® launched the Largo range with planks which are 2 m long and 20.5 cm wide in 2009. This laminate flooring was immediately a hit. So QuickStep®  is now adding four varieties in rustic oak to the 7 existing designs of the Largo collection. They have a rustic look and feel with large knots and rays, and a unique surface structure that is distinctive thanks to the matt finish combined with glossy wood-grain.  


A:    Characteristics

1. Exceptionally long and wide – also for smaller spaces


QuickStep® Largo meets consumer demands for long and wide planks that give a space more depth. To make the floor suitable for all living areas, QuickStep® chose an elegant size that is not bombastic:  205 cm long x 20.5 cm wide. This balanced length/width ratio means that a Largo floor can work wonders in smaller spaces too.

2. No inconvenient design repeats


On the long and wide planks of our competitors, a specific pattern is repeated on the same plank. A plank may for example have the same knot twice. With QuickStep® Largo, these annoying design repeats on the same plank are practically non-existent. The result is an extremely attractive, natural floor that consists of a natural mix of plank variations.  

3. Joints in harmony


The grooves around the planks are designed in such a way that they match the character of the wood variety perfectly.

4. Deep surface structures


In 2009, QuickStep® developed a new generation of laminate floors with a bold, deep surface structure.  This was the laminate specialist’s answer to the increasing demand for aged floors with an explicit wood structure. By giving the floor various degrees of gloss, the polished, baroque character of the floor is emphasised more strongly. The vintage dark oak (LPU1287) soon became a consumer favourite. So in 2010, QuickStep®  is launching four new designs with an extra deep surface structure.

B:    Four new designs


The new designs are the perfect answer to increased demand for aged, rustic floors in oak, which is still the most popular wood variety. They have large knots, lush patterns, visible rays in the large wood grain, and a deep structure. The colours vary from light to natural and from trendy grey to black.
The four new designs work perfectly in a classic interior, but the latest high-contrast trend also means they are extremely suitable for minimalist, modern interiors.
