Herringbone floors have long been admired for their architectural beauty. Once reserved for heritage homes and high-end interiors, this iconic pattern is now more accessible than ever with Quick-Step Impressive Design herringbone laminate, brand new for 2026.
You get the elegance of a classic parquet look, combined with category‑leading laminate innovation. As the world’s first 100% watertight herringbone laminate floor, Quick-Step Impressive Design delivers refined style, confidence-inspiring durability and performance designed for modern living.
Herringbone instantly adds rhythm and character to a room. The angled pattern draws the eye and creates a sense of movement, making spaces feel richer, more considered and visually engaging.
Quick-Step Impressive Design herringbone laminate takes this impact further by combining design precision with advanced technology. Each plank is crafted to reflect the natural beauty of real wood, with fine grain detailing, subtle texture and balanced colours inspired by nature. With 56 individual plank patterns per colour, the floor looks more natural and less repetitive than standard laminate designs.
It’s a statement floor without the maintenance concerns of traditional parquet – combining timeless style with everyday practicality.
Quick-Step Impressive Design is made for real life. Thanks to HydroSeal technology, precision-milled joints and a pressed bevel, the floor is 100% watertight, preventing water from penetrating the surface or joints. This makes it a confident choice for kitchens, hallways and open‑plan living spaces.
Installation is faster, easier and more efficient thanks to Unizip technology. Unlike traditional herringbone laminate floors that rely on two plank types, Unizip uses a single plank shape, reducing waste, minimising micro‑movement and ensuring a stable, long‑lasting floor.
Built with premium materials, Quick-Step Impressive Design feels solid underfoot and is engineered to last. Scratch Guard technology makes it highly resistant to daily wear, while fire and heat resistance provide added reassurance for busy homes.
Every Quick-Step Impressive Design floor is inspired by real wood, bringing warmth and balance of nature into your home. Refined surface textures, authentic wood pores and carefully developed colours create a lifelike herringbone effect that works effortlessly in both classic and contemporary interiors.
Available in four elegant oak shades – ranging from light through to rich, warm tones – Quick-Step Impressive Design allows consumers to choose a look that complements their space while delivering a distinctive and exclusive finish.
At the same time, the floor is made almost entirely from wood (80%), using recovered wood in the HDF core sourced from sawmills and landscape maintenance rather than forestry. Thanks to Quick-Step’s pioneering recycling technology, Quick-Step Impressive Design can also be recycled into new laminate flooring, supporting more responsible, circular design choices.
