Quick-Step, Dominion Collection, Malaysian Merbau.

As part of Quick•Step’s “Long Live Style” campaign, the brand will be flooring the official “Trends Hub” during the upcoming Surfaces flooring tradeshow.

The Trends Hub space is designed to serve as an inspirational presentation of the latest products from various exhibitors as well as a unique preview of the major color, texture, material, and styling trends for 2014.  

International Trend Forecaster Victoria Redshaw is the lead designer for this year’s Trends Hub. Redshaw has selected Malaysian Merbau from Quick•Step’s recently launched Dominion Collection to floor this 800 square foot area of the Surfaces show floor.  

Quick•Step’s Dominion Collection offers the visuals and texture of an expensive hand-scraped hardwood floor, at a price attractive to the majority of a retailer’s customers.  Dominion is a Made in the USA 12mm collection offering Chestnut, Hickory, Walnut, and Merbau decors on 6” wide by 54” extra long planks with embossed-in-register surfaces and GenuEdge Technology.  

Quick•Step flooring is widely known as the design and style leader in laminate flooring, offering consumers flooring that is both beautiful and durable.
