The first thing that you notice about the Imperio range is its exquisite plank size, standing at 2 metres by 14 by 22cm. the length lends any room with an untold sense of depth whilst the width offers and exclusive look, highlighting the feel of authenticity and craftsmanship of real wood. The Quick- Step’s vintage look will complement any contemporary living space.
Matt varnished or oiled and rustic floors in long, wide planks continue to remain a winner.
The joints on all four faces of the plank act to give added prominence to the size, length and the plank effect.
The Natural selection in the Imperio range offers a luxurious Pure Oak Matt which has been treated with a matt varnish to give an extra protection coat coloured with a very light white pigment. Natural Heritage Oak Oiled also uses European White Oak as its base and has been finished with a natural oil.
The combination of large knots and flowers with a gentle brushing and subtle joints around the planks vouch for this floor doing an excellent job inside warm and cosy home interiors.
In the Authentics’ selection, the Imperio offers the delicious Caramel Oak Oiled and the equally appetising Nougat Oak Oiled. The Caramel Oak Oiled oozes charm with is large knots and cracks. To achieve this exquisite look, the floors are first smoked, giving them that delightful caramel tint, all of which produces gorgeous colour differences between the planks and within the planks themselves.
The engineered wood floors are also finished off with several coats of quality oil which is much finer than varnish.
The aptly titled Imperio Nougat Oak Oiled is also a stand out by the four joints that underscore the ample width and length, the distinctive ‘character grading’ with its hand- sanded knots, the heavy brushing it has been given and the dark coloured knows and cracks.
The uniqueness of this floor lies in the way it is greyed with white oil being rubbed into the wood by hand to give the grey a softer and patinated charm. It is pure visual delight for any room in the house.

The Authentics floors are intended to leave a lasting impression on flooring lovers. In order to lend the magnificent weathered look of the engineered wood planks with even great impact, Quick-Step has introduced a new group as part of the sorting system that designates the quality of the planks: ‘character grading’.
The knots are even bigger and deeper, the knots and cracks are filled with a dark filling, but not completely and the brush is even deeper and more authentic so as to give the wood grain even greater emphasis and to add more texture to the design. The vibrant character of the wood will see you bringing nature into any home.
The Quick-Step’s Imperio is regal splendour for your floors.
