THE PERFECT FLOOR DESIGNED FOR YOUR INTERIOR } A PERFECTLY NATURAL LOOK

With their extra matt finish, Livyn floors have a truly natural look and feel. Look closely and you'll be astonished by the natural appeal we have developed with our vinyl floors. We have been able to balance a level of surface authenticity, design and underfoot feel that has only ever been seen in natural wood flooring, until now! What's more, you'll be spoiled for choice with a stunning range of in-house designed colours and surface textures.

} THE DESIGN IS IN THE DETAIL

Often overlooked, our unique bevel design provides the most authentic bevel on the market. Quick-Step is committed to delivering genuine authenticity, to the finest level of detail!

} A TOTAL SOLUTION

At Quick-Step we don’t just offer a product, we offer a total solution. The full range of installation tools, underlay and maintenance products is also available from your Quick-Step retailer to help ensure your floor is as easy to install as it is to maintain!

VINYL HAS NEVER BEEN SO TRUE TO NATURE

} THE CHOICE IS YOURS

The Livyn range is available in direct stick planks that are glued to the floor, loose lay planks for superior underfoot comfort or the new Balance Click for the ultimate choice in stain resistance and stability. The choice is yours!

THE PERFECT FLOOR DESIGNED FOR YOUR INTERIOR

} TWO METHODS OF INSTALLATION

The three ranges offer 2 different methods of installation; the Essential Glue Down & the Essential Loose Lay collection should be installed glued down. The Balance Click collection - the most stable click system on the market, can be installed floating and glued down.

} BALANCE CLICK WITH REVOLUTIONARY STAIN RESISTANCE TECHNOLOGY

Thanks to our unique Stain Guard technology, most stains just don’t

stand a chance on Livyn Balance Click floors. The fully sealed top layer ensures total protection from common stains and dirt, making them very easy to keep clean. Even the toughest stains (such as paint, nail-varnish or even marker ink) can be wiped away in an instant!

Besides that, the increased scratch protection keeps your Balance Click floors looking new. You’ll be able to enjoy your Quick-Step Livyn floor for longer, and without a care in the world!

BALANCE CLICK HAS NEVER BEEN SO STAIN RESISTANT Balance Click

QUICK EASY INSTALLATIONThe Livyn Balance Click Collection makes laying your new vinyl floor simple, thanks to the patented Uniclic® Multifit for Livyn click system. Designed to last, this system was specifically developed for Livyn floors and is highly user-friendly, quick to install and a lot more stable than other systems.

} RENOVATION FRIENDLY

Livyn floors are flexible so they can easily be laid on top of

most existing, level floor coverings. This will save you a lot of removal effort and let you renovate your space without any hassle.

} INSTALL ANYWHERE, EVEN ON UNDERFLOOR HEATING AND COOLING

Quick-Step Livyn floors are perfect for installation over underfloor heating or cooling. For more information on laying your Livyn floor over underfloor heating or cooling, visit www.quick-step.com.au.

WELCOME10

At Quick-Step, we must admit, we’re perfectionists.

Perfectionists when it comes to design, and passionate when it comes to detail. We want to give our customers the best, which is why we work at getting it right day and night.

We’re innovators in our industry. In designing our floors we go beyond the obvious, documenting new architecture, analysing interior design and fashion trends, reading the latest blogs, visiting the hippest cities and following upcoming artists. We experiment with new materials and colours, pushing boundaries and developing technologies that we apply to new and unique floors.

Livyn Balance Click is one such floor. Born from applied research & development, Livyn embodies the marriage between design and technology, between traditional comfort and innovative engineering. With its natural look and feel, exclusive designs and super matt finish, Livyn is a floor that you’ll immediately feel at home with.

At Quick-Step we can spot trends long before they come into being. We can tell the difference between hype and timeless design, between fads and well thought-out concepts. Our dream of the vinyl floor of the future is now reality with the Balance Click collection, thanks to the superior stain and scratch resistance and extreme stability of the unique patented click system.

Whether you opt for a Modern, Country or Classical look, we hope you’ll be inspired by the possibilities of the new Livyn collections to create your own dream interior.

INSTALL & FINISH

WHY USE A QUICK•STEP® LIVYN UNDERLAY?Whilst it is not always necessary to install Livyn Balance Click flooring on top of an underlay, the Quick-Step Livyn Underlay has been designed to provide a floor with better acoustic performance. This additional acoustic treatment is great for multi-storey living and, even in normal residential homes, will provide a quieter, somewhat more comfortable floor to walk on.

} A Quick-step Livyn underlay levels and helps to prevent irregularities and pressure marks.

} It offers good sound insulation properties towards the room below and reduces footfall noises when you walk across the floor.

} This strong and durable underlay is ideal for the Uniclic® Multifit click system.

} It is perfectly suitable for floor heating and/or cooling.
