Seven new designs added to Aqua-Step waterproof laminate flooring range

The Aqua-Step laminate waterproof laminate flooring range, exclusively available from IDS, has been updated with seven new designs bringing the range to 18 in total with a choice of elegant travertine stones and stylish woodgrains to suit a wide range of interior looks.

The seven new designs, available now, include the contemporary chic of a plain white called Ultra White, together with six woodgrain designs of Montana Oak, Pure Oak, Mystic Wood, Oak Grey, Sumatra Teak and Anthracite Oak. The woodgrains respond to the consumer's desire for whitewashed, distressed and grey-toned finishes.

IDS report strongly growing sales over the last 12 months for the product indicating its growing popularity as a flooring option for kitchens and bathrooms especially. It offers the benefits of fashionable designs, easy installation, simple maintenance and a 100% guarantee of being totally waterproof.

Says Neil Smith, Flooring Director at IDS:

"Aquastep is establishing itself as a great alternative to tiles in bathrooms and kitchens. It's cheaper and faster to install than tiles, easy to maintain and all-round hassle free for the end-user, while at the same time delivering stylish looks. With an RRP of around £50 per sqm, I would recommend any retailer to put it in his showroom as it's proving an easy-sale product from the feedback we are getting."

Aqua-Step effortlessly withstands water, condensation and moisture and can be wet-mopped with soapy water without any swelling of the boards. It is 100% waterproof with the core of the board made of high quality synthetic resin in combination with a honeycomb structure which outperforms other materials in product strength and results in an AC4 strength classification, the highest rating in its category. It is also compatible with underfloor heating. Aqua-Step has a 20 year domestic warranty and offers five years on commercial applications.

Supplied in planks size 1200 x 167 x 8mm thickness, Aqua-Step offers easy installation with the patented Uniclic system. There is a 20 year domestic wear warranty and 5 years on commercial applications.
