Aquastop Laminate Flooring
Aquastop is Preference Floors' water resistant laminate, and it sits above most laminate on specification. It is rated AC5 rather than the AC4 common at this price, so it handles abrasion, scratching and impact a step better. Water protection runs 48 hours at 8mm and 12mm, and 72 hours at 14mm. It is rated for in-slab hydronic heating and safe for wet mop cleaning, which most laminates are not. Adore stocks 21 colours.
The names read like a travel itinerary: Brooklyn, Manhattan, Helsinki, Lugano, Montreux, Verbier, Zermatt, Interlaken, Leysin and Strasbourg. Alongside those sit the plainer tones, Ecru, Sand, Snow, Tan, Platinum, Rock, Rift, Queen, Natural Classic, Sunset and Sunshine.
The board is built on an HDF core with the patented Valinge 5G click, and the finish is colourfast and anti-static. It is Australian slip and fire test certified and rated E1 for emissions. The water protection is what makes it worth a look for kitchens, laundries and entries.

Zermatt is a light warm honey-beige: a soft golden oak with gentle, even grain and none of the knotting or rustic texture found elsewhere in the Aquastop range. It is the gentlest of the warm boards here, and the easiest...

Verbier is a deep golden amber oak: the richest of the warm boards in the Aquastop range, with flowing grain and a honeyed depth that reads almost like oiled timber. Where Natural Classic is bright and traditional, Verbier is deeper...

Tan is a light beige-grey with heavy knotting and pronounced rustic character: one of the busiest prints in the Aquastop range, but in a pale tone rather than a dark one. That combination is genuinely useful and not common. Pale...

Sunshine is the warmest board in the Aquastop range: a reddish chestnut brown with strong grain and genuine colour saturation, closer to a traditional Australian hardwood than to any European oak. Red-brown floors have a specific job. They suit period...

Sunset is a mid warm brown carrying a grey undertone: rich and layered, with darker passages moving through the grain that give the floor depth across a large area. The grey running beneath the warmth is what makes it work...

Strasbourg is a pale warm greige, exceptionally smooth, with minimal grain contrast and a soft neutral cast that sits almost exactly between warm and cool. It is the most neutral board in the entire Aquastop range, and that is its...

Snow is one of the two palest boards in the Aquastop range: a very light cool grey-white with soft, low-contrast grain and a faint warmth that keeps it from feeling clinical. Pale floors earn their place by what they do...

Sand is a pale greeny-grey beige with scattered knots and a limed, softly weathered finish: a light board with genuine texture rather than a flat pale surface. It sits in useful territory. Light enough to brighten a room and open...

Rock is a pale silvery grey: clean, cool and finely grained, the most straightforwardly contemporary board in the Aquastop range. Cool greys are the easiest colour to furnish around, because almost nothing clashes with a neutral silver-grey. It is the...

Rift is a mid greige oak with rustic character: visible knots, splits and natural cracks running through the grain, and enough variation between boards that the floor has real movement across a room. That variation is doing practical work as...

Queen is a pale weathered grey with a soft green cast: a limed, sun-bleached look with low contrast and gentle grain, closer to driftwood than to a modern grey oak. The green undertone is what makes it interesting. It keeps...

Platinum is the darkest grey in the Aquastop range: a mid-dark grey-taupe with smooth, restrained grain and a distinctly cool cast. Dark greys do something warm boards cannot: they read as architectural. Against white walls, black steel, concrete or glass,...

Natural Classic is the most golden board in the Aquastop range: a bright honey oak with clear flowing grain and genuine warmth, the closest thing here to freshly finished Australian hardwood. It is the traditional choice and the one that...

Montreux is the deepest brown in the Aquastop range: a smooth mid-dark oak with warm undertones and restrained grain, closer to walnut than to any pale European oak. Dark floors are a commitment worth being honest about. In an open-plan...

Manhattan is a light warm tan: a honeyed blonde oak with clean, flowing grain and no rustic knotting, bright without tipping into yellow. Blonde floors returned after a decade of grey dominance, and they are more practical than they look....

Lugano is a pale warm sandy beige: clean, fine-grained and quiet, with none of the knots or rustic character that mark the busier boards in the Aquastop range. It is the warm counterpart to Interlaken. Where that board is cool...

Interlaken is the palest board in the Aquastop range: a near-white cool grey with such low contrast that the grain reads as a whisper rather than a pattern. Its job is light. A floor this pale reflects what light a...

Helsinki is a mid olive-grey oak: a smooth, flowing grain with a faint green cast that lifts it out of the usual grey-brown territory and gives it a distinctly Nordic character. That green undertone is the whole point of it....

Ecru is the most rustic board in the Aquastop range: a grey-brown oak carrying heavy knots, splits and sawn texture, closer to reclaimed barn timber than to a clean modern floor. That character does real work. No other board here...

Brooklyn is a mid greige oak: a warm-leaning taupe with moderate grain movement and enough depth that it reads as a considered colour rather than a default neutral. It sits between the pale Swiss-named boards in the Aquastop range and...
