The Aqua-Step waterproof laminate flooring collection, 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 variety of interior schemes. The product is ideal for commercial applications, thanks to its easy installation, low maintenance and high-performance, waterproof floor finish.
The seven new designs include the contemporary chic of Ultra White, together with six woodgrain designs of Montana Oak, Pure Oak, Mystic Wood, Oak Grey, Sumatra Teak and Anthracite Oak – responding to the trend for whitewashed, distressed and grey-toned finishes.
IDS has reported strongly-growing sales over the last 12 months for the product, indicating its increasing popularity as an alternative flooring option. Neil Smith, flooring director at IDS, comments: “Aqua-step is establishing itself as a very attractive alternative to tiles in the commercial sector, where it is ideal for bathrooms, washrooms and spas. 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.”
Aqua-Step effortlessly withstands water, condensation and moisture and can be wet-mopped with soap 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 – resulting in an AC4-strength classification, the highest rating in its category. It is also compatible with underfloor heating.
Aqua-Step is available in a plank format of 1200 x 167mm, and a thickness of 8mm, and is easy to install thanks to its patented Uniclic system. Aqua-Step offers a five-year warranty on commercial applications.
Aqua-Step is exclusively available from IDS, with all products held ex-stock for 24-48 hour delivery from any of the company’s 12 branches nationwide.
