what laminate and vinyl finishes are available?

Surface Finish

There are various surface finishes available on laminates and vinyl tiles, to give it a more authentic feel and appearance.

Natura Step Laminates

  • Brilliant – Rustic, deep-brushed structure set brilliantly in context thanks to the glossy surface
  • Natural Pore – The surface that begs to be touched: The fine pore structure exactly follows the grain of the wood and lends vitality to the floor.
  • Oiled – The texture with a noticeable difference: premium and semi-matt in looks, robust in character and velvety to the touch.
  • Rustic – the deep-grained rustic textured surface highlights the brushed and lively vigor of rustic decors.
  • Velvet Matt – the noble Velvet Matt surface creates a matt appearance all of its own.
  • Woodline – the natural Woodline surface brings classically elegant decors into their full glory

Quickstep Laminates

  • Authentic – Nature offers endless variations. Consider the varied interplay in the wood-grain lines of an oaken plank, the soft matte finish of maple, the gloss of cherry. Authentic is a surface finish that matches the wood perfectly, just like a parquet floor.
  • Living Surface – This surface finish introduces a tangible, deep wood-grain structure to the rustic floor plank designs and a natural look and feel to Quickstep ceramic effect tiles.
  • Natural Authentic – This unique technique mirrors the motif of the wood-grain even more closely. Now your laminate can boast the original look and unique feel of a natural floor without compromising the exceptional durability of the laminate surface.
  • Country Surface – The Country Surface gives traditional a new lease of life. This surface structure holds a mirror to hand-scraped materials which are processed by artisans and so well-suited to the country style you can see and feel the master hand in each and every plank, instilling your floor with the beauty of craftsmanship.
  • Patina Surface – the white-washed finish of parquet creates an extremely attractive effect which you never get tired of. For this technique, a thin layer of paint is applied to the wood and it is then wiped off. The paint remains in the pores and irregular structure of the laminate and creates a light surface.
  • Soft Country Surface – has subtle, uneven grooves in the surface that create the worn character of the floor.

Amtico Vinyl Tiles and Karnden Vinyl Tiles both have various effects as detailed below, with textured surfaces.
