Quick-Step Impressive Design Cumin Oak herringbone laminate flooring has a honey-toned oak look with warm golden colour and clearly visible grain. Flowing grain and occasional darker knots provide natural-looking variation. The alternating plank directions give the herringbone floor a lively pattern without heavy grey shading.
The 8mm planks have a moisture-resistant HDF core, Scratch Guard surface protection and HydroSeal technology for resistance to surface water. Impressive Design is rated AC4 and Class 32 for domestic and moderate commercial use. Four genuine pressed bevels define the plank edges and complement the oak-effect surface.
Each plank measures 131 × 655mm and fits into a herringbone pattern with Unizip joints over a suitable laminate underlay. The same plank connects on both sides, so separate A and B boards are not needed. A pack contains fourteen planks and covers 1.201m². The floor is priced per m² and supplied in complete packs, with the calculator showing the total coverage and order value.
Cumin Oak adds warmth to bright living rooms and family spaces. It provides a defined base for white furniture and large glazed openings, with enough timber detail to make open areas of flooring feel considered.
Suitable for indoor living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways and kitchens, as well as moderate commercial applications within the Class 32 specification.
Bathrooms are suitable when the floor is installed and sealed to Quick-Step’s wet-area instructions. Use the specified compressible Foamstrip and Hydrokit at the perimeter, profiles and penetrations, plus Hydrostrip where required for matching skirting or scotia. Not suitable for showers, wet rooms with floor drains, saunas, pool areas or outdoor use.
Pair it with warm white walls, blue textiles and simple timber furniture. Woven rugs and leafy plants complement the golden oak, while charcoal details keep the overall scheme crisp.
HydroSeal protects against surface moisture. Impressive Design has a 72-hour standing-water limit under the manufacturer’s conditions. Remove spills promptly and follow the full installation and care instructions. This protection does not cover flooding, plumbing leaks or moisture rising from the subfloor.
Warranty: Quick-Step provides a lifetime residential warranty, defined in its conditions as a maximum of 65 years, and a 15-year residential water-resistance warranty. Commercial cover is five years under the standard conditions. Eligibility, exclusions, fitting and maintenance requirements apply. Read the complete Quick-Step laminate warranty.
Each pack contains fourteen planks and covers 1.201m². Enter your required area in the Timberwharf calculator to see the number of full packs, total area supplied and order total.
Allow for cuts and waste when planning the floor. Quick-Step recommends 10% extra as a starting allowance. Herringbone perimeter cuts and the room shape can affect waste, so your fitter should confirm the quantity for the planned layout. Add the allowance once and order the full project quantity together.
The pack coverage refers to fourteen physical herringbone planks. Plan the central V-row, perimeter cuts, doorways, thresholds and expansion gaps before installation. Matching trims, skirting and underlay are separate items.
Preparation and fitting: acclimatise unopened packs flat for at least 48 hours in the installation area, at 15–25°C and 30–85% relative humidity. The subfloor must be dry, sound and suitably level. Use a suitable laminate underlay and the specified moisture barrier where required. Keep the floor floating, with expansion space as instructed; do not trap it beneath fixed kitchen units or other permanent fittings.
Underfloor heating and cooling: suitable with compatible low-temperature water or electric systems and the correct floor build-up. Keep the finished floor surface at or below 27°C. Follow the heating-system and Quick-Step commissioning instructions, choose an appropriate underlay and change temperatures gradually. Floor cooling requires dew-point and condensation control.
Cleaning: vacuum or sweep with a soft head, then clean with a well-wrung microfibre mop and a suitable laminate cleaner. Remove spills promptly, use entrance mats and protect furniture feet. Steam cleaning is permitted only under Quick-Step’s conditions for its pressed-bevel, 15-year wet-warranty ranges: cover every steam opening with a suitable cloth, use low power and keep the head moving along the planks. Never apply steam directly or leave the head stationary. Do not sand, oil, polish or wax the finished laminate surface.
Plank layout: mix planks from several packs to balance the colour and grain variation. Follow the herringbone instructions on pages 5–6 of the installation guide. Mark a centre line, align the first V-row accurately and lay the underlay in the direction of the V-rows. The guide recommends cut pieces larger than 100mm and explains the treatment of smaller pieces. Use the specified Unizip fitting method, suitable tapping block and expansion allowances. Keep the installed floor free to move.
Impressive Design is tested to EN 13329 with an AC4 abrasion rating. Its thermal resistance is 0.055m²K/W before adding an underlay. Fire classification is Cfl-s1 with Quick-Step underlays. The flooring is antistatic. Slip resistance is classified R12 under EN 16165 Annex B. The range carries EU Ecolabel, PEFC and Nordic Ecolabel certification.
AC4 describes abrasion resistance; it is different from the appearance grades used for real wood. Class 32 describes the intended use level. Select the underlay and complete floor build-up to suit the room, subfloor and heating system.
What is Quick-Step Impressive Design Cumin Oak?
Cumin Oak is an 8mm oak-effect laminate in Quick-Step’s Impressive Design collection. It has a honey-toned oak look with warm golden colour and clearly visible grain, with a finished decorative surface over a moisture-resistant HDF core. It is not solid or engineered oak.
How large are the planks?
Each herringbone plank measures 131mm wide × 655mm long × 8mm thick.
How many planks and square metres are in a pack?
Each pack contains fourteen planks and covers 1.201m². The calculator rounds the required area up to complete packs.
Does this design have bevelled edges?
Four genuine pressed bevels define the plank edges and complement the oak-effect surface.
Is Impressive Design waterproof?
HydroSeal provides resistance to surface water, with a 72-hour standing-water limit under the manufacturer’s warranty conditions. Correct wet-area sealing is essential. Remove spills promptly; this does not cover flooding, plumbing leaks or moisture beneath the floor.
Can I use it in a kitchen or bathroom?
Yes, when installed and sealed to Quick-Step’s instructions. It is not suitable for showers, rooms with floor drains, saunas or pool areas.
Can it be fitted over underfloor heating?
Yes, with a compatible low-temperature system and suitable underlay. The finished floor surface must not exceed 27°C, and the full commissioning instructions must be followed.
Do I need separate A and B boards for herringbone?
Use the herringbone layout and Unizip method shown on pages 5–6 of the installation guide. One plank type connects on both sides, so separate A and B packs are not required. Plan the central V-row, perimeter cuts and expansion gaps before fitting.
Can I use a steam cleaner?
Yes, only under Quick-Step’s conditions for its pressed-bevel, 15-year wet-warranty ranges. Cover every steam opening with a suitable cloth, use low power and keep the head moving along the planks. Never apply direct steam or leave the head stationary.
Does the oak surface need oiling or sanding?
No. This is finished oak-effect laminate, not a real-wood wear layer. Do not sand, oil, polish or wax it. Use suitable laminate care products.
