Quick-Step Impressive Design Herringbone laminate: See and feel it underfoot
It’s not always easy to picture how a new floor will look and feel from a small sample or a photo. That’s why we regularly update the floors in both our showrooms, so you can experience the full look of a product in a larger space and get a real feel for it underfoot.
For homeowners, interior designers and builders comparing options, seeing herringbone laminate flooring installed in a real setting can make the decision much easier. It gives you a better sense of the pattern, colour variation, surface finish, and how the floor feels underfoot.
New Herringbone Laminate now installed in our Hamilton flooring showroom
Last week, Matt was busy updating our Hamilton showroom with Quick-Step Impressive Design Herringbone in Cinnamon Oak. This stunning new flooring collection is for homeowners that want the look of timber herringbone, with the practicality and value of a premium laminate. The warm oak tone and classic herringbone pattern gives it plenty of visual character, while still feeling versatile enough to suit a wide range of interiors.
Why people might choose herringbone laminate?
Herringbone has never gone out of style. A home with herringbone flooring makes an immediate impression, adding value through its charm and sophistication.
Now that Herringbone laminate is available, it is becoming an increasingly popular choice for new builds and renovations. It offers the visual detail of a classic timber herringbone floor, paired with the everyday practicality of a premium laminate.
It offers:
A beautiful floor style with the look of classic timber herringbone
A premium, durable laminate surface suited to busy family homes
A finish that works well in both modern and traditional interiors
For many homeowners, it strikes a great balance between elegant style, durability, and budget.
What are the benefits of Quick-Step Impressive Design Herringbone laminate floors?
Impressive Design Herringbone Laminate is a premium laminate made by Quick-Step. The collection offers a beautifully elegant floor, but it's also built for practicality and offers:
100% watertight surface: We can install it in the Kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms, giving a seamless flow throughout the home.
High resistance to sun fade, stain and wear makes it hardwearing and ideal for New Zealand conditions and sunlit rooms.
A more affordable option, compared to a traditional glued timber herringbone floor.
Herringbone Laminate FAQs
What is herringbone laminate flooring?
Herringbone laminate flooring uses individual planks laid in a zig-zag pattern. Quick-Step Herringbone Laminate offers the look of oak in a floating floor with a Unizip click system, plus scratch, fade and stain resistance, and a 100% watertight surface.
Is Quick-Step Impressive Design Herringbone waterproof?
Yes. When installed correctly, it has a 100% watertight surface.
Can herringbone laminate be used in kitchens, laundries, and bathrooms?
Herringbone Laminate can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms if it has passed the NZ Building Code E3/AS1 testing. Quick-Step Impressive Design Herringbone has passed E3/AS1 testing and can be used in those areas.
Is herringbone laminate affordable?
Yes, it’s more affordable than traditional timber herringbone, as it’s less labour-intensive, due to being a floating floor with pre-finished planks that are ready to walk on once installed. The installation method for herringbone laminate is slower than installing a straight plank laminate, but if you want to achieve this elegant look with a premium laminate product, the finished result will be worth it.
Does herringbone laminate suit modern or traditional homes?
Yes, herringbone laminate suits both modern and traditional homes. It has long been used in classic interiors, but it also works beautifully in modern homes, especially larger open-plan spaces where it helps create flow and visual interest. Because the pattern is a feature in itself, it works best when the rest of the interior gives it room to stand out.
Can I view this flooring in your Hamilton showroom?
Yes, you can view Quick-Step Impressive Design Laminate in our Hamilton and Tauranga showrooms. In our Hamilton Showroom, we have a large area installed in the colour Cinnamon Oak. In both showrooms, we have larger samples of the full collection.
Is the Tauranga showroom currently showing this range?
Yes, our Tauranga showroom has large samples of the full collection available to view. We also hope to install a larger display of this range in the future. At the moment, the showroom features a large area of Intenso Chevron Timber flooring, which has a V-shaped pattern rather than the zig-zag look of herringbone.
How do I choose between colours and finishes in person?

If you’re building, bring your other interior samples with you, or ask your interior designer to get in touch.
