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.

• Contemporary – floors that define modern interiors
• Stone Effect – the effect of real stone on a vinyl tile
