Celebrity Designer Names NEW Veresque Oak A Designer's Choice Product - "The Charm Of Distressed, Painted Wood"
Dallas, TX – February 19, 2015 – Quick-Step’s celebrity designer partner, Erinn Valencich, has named the newly-launched Stonewash Oak from Quick-Step’s Veresque Collection as one of her Designer’s Choice products for 2015. A Designer’s Choice product is a floor that Valencich feels is an exceptional example of the latest trends in the home decorating market, or that she thinks will bring something extra special to a room.
“As a designer, there is a certain intrigue inherent in wood that was at one point in time painted with a fresh coat of white paint, but now presents the interesting visual of being gently worn by time and the elements,” said Erinn Valencich, Los Angeles-based interior designer, contestant on NBC’s design reality show American Dream Builders, and Quick-Step’s celebrity designer partner. “In a hardwood plank such as this, the original paint is substantially worn through in many spots, allowing the grey of weathered wood underneath to peak through. There is a sense of charm in this type of find.”
“Although time-worn, something fresh and exciting is also present in this particular vintage wood visual,” said Valencich. “It might be the lightness, airiness, or nostalgia of the decor. Or maybe it is the fact that the softness of color and design evoke a casual country or beach ambiance. Whatever the reason, this particular type of reclaimed hardwood adds charm, artistry, softness, character, and a nostalgia to a room. I have selected the new Stonewash Oak from the Veresque Collection as one of my 2015 Designer’s Choice products, because this Quick-Step laminate is the perfect likeness of painted, distressed, vintage hardwood.”
Additional Product Details
Stonewash Oak’s single plank design includes a smooth furniture finish featured in 47/8" wide X 471/4" planks on a premium HDF 8mm platform. Planks are made with GenuEdge Technology, allowing the surface design to “roll over” the edges of the plank for a truly authentic hardwood look. The top layer of each plank also includes a special anti-static surface that repels dust and dirt, making a Stonewash Oak floor virtually maintenance-free.
This Made in the USA product utilizes Uniclic, the most widely-used glueless installation locking system in the world today and one of the best systems on the market. Patented Uniclic provides quick and easy installation as well as increased protection against water damage and warping. These floating floors may be installed on, above, or below grade level.
The floor is CARB compliant and NALFA Certified and features wear-layer materials found in AC4 rated floors. ScratchGuard Advanced Finish Technology is also included, helping the floor resist micro-scratches that can dull a floor’s surface over time. Stonewash Oak planks are backed by a Limited Lifetime Residential Warranty as well as a 5-Year Medium Commercial Warranty. This Quick-Step product qualifies as an Environmentally Preferred Product in most green rating systems; helps a project get up to four LEED points; holds the prestigious FloorScore certification for indoor air quality; is made from 70% pre-consumer recycled material; can be re-used up to three times; and does not require glue during installation, avoiding introduction of volatile organic compounds.
The realism and sophisticated design in Veresque’s news Stonewash Oak provides a level of style that is unique in the mid-range price point.
