If you’re seeking a floor that compliments a room, whilst delivering on the key purpose of a floor (to withstand people), Quick-Step flooring could be the answer to your prayers.

1: Ideal for Open Plan

Open plan homes are increasing in popularity. They bring the family together and provide areas where the home can come together in one place. Not only this but having an open plan design allows you to host parties and dinners more easily. With that stunning open plan layout, brings the likelihood of high traffic. For Quick-Step flooring though, that is not a problem.

The pressure on your floors when lots of people are passing through is more significant than you might think. The problems that could occur include floor thinning, gaps in the floorboards, a peeling finish, or even turned up edges. Don’t leave your floor vulnerable to these issues by picking the wrong floor. Quick-Step is prepared to withstand high traffic and actively avoid these problems to keep your floor looking as good as new. If you’ve got a big family, loads of roommates, or love to host a party, it’s vital that you think ahead for your flooring and install a floor that’s made for the lifestyle of high traffic.

2: Family Proofing

Family life impacts the flooring of your home. With high traffic, comes high risk of damage. Not only does your floor have to take the impact of stampeding children, stomping teens, and scatty pets, it has to withstand the scratches, bumps and grazes that come with them. Opting for a delicate floor than looks lovely to begin with but ends up looking tired and worn within a matter of weeks, is no use. Instead, Quick-Step delivers on appearance and on durability.

Quick-Step Laminate and Vinyl options are known for their brilliant ability to resist scratches and stains. Designed with smart technologies, such as their Scratch Guard top layer which is exclusive to Quick-Step, the flooring is prepared for the wears and tears of everyday life. With Quick-Step, your home is better prepared for the inevitable incidents of a busy home.

If scratch-resistance is your top priority. We would recommend the Quick-Step Laminate options for the best results. There is very little in it between the Vinyl and the Laminate, but our expert recommendation is that the Laminate slightly tips the scales on effectiveness against scratches.

3: Watching Out for Water

If you’re living in a high traffic home, your home occupants are likely to be using the facilities of the home often throughout the day. We’re talking showers, baths, washing up, cooking, making drinks… the list goes on. All these activities include using water or liquids, and spillages are inevitable. By choosing waterproof Quick-Step flooring, you can eliminate risks of water damage to your floor.

Quick-Step Vinyl is entirely waterproof, meaning you can install the flooring into your bathrooms without fear. With lots of people living in your home, the bathroom is going to face high amounts of traffic. Quick-Step Vinyl offers the solution to multiple people rushing in and out in the mornings and evenings and does so whilst protecting against the splashes of water that come with that traffic.

Equally, Quick-Step Laminate is water resistant. Having a level of protection against spills is necessary in areas such as the kitchen or dining room, where you are cooking and eating. Being sure that your flooring has resistance to water can provide reassurance when those spillages occur, as well as giving confidence that cleaning and maintaining the floors wont cause damage.

4: Flooring for the Long Run

Let’s face it, new flooring isn’t something you want to be changing every 6 months. You need a floor that is in it for the long run. That is why durability should be one of the top priorities of your requirements when looking for a new floor. Particularly if you’re living in a high traffic home. Durability is something that Quick-Step does best.

Quick-Step Laminate and Vinyl options are built to last. With exceptional research into what makes a floor durable, the brand has invested into the qualities of a floor that make it ideal for a busy home. Quick-Step’s Laminate options are built on a strong base of HDF, topped with a multilayer design. The core is made of recovered wood, which is compressed so the fibres are compact and strong.

In a similar way, Quick-Step Vinyl flooring is also built in a layered format. However, the Vinyl contains components of PVC and fibreglass, giving it that extra resistance against liquids as it is not absorbent. Both options are entirely phthalates free, making them non-harmful.
