Elegant, durable and easy to maintain, the Quick-Step Eligna Merbau Planks EL996 is one of our bestselling floors. It benefits from a bevel-less design, giving the floor a more streamlined look once it’s been installed. This also makes it easier to keep clean, adding to its durability. As it’s also got a great water-resistant design, it can be installed in most areas of the home. The floor comes with a great 25-year warranty for peace of mind.
Each pack of the Quick-Step Eligna Merbau Planks EL996 will cover up to 1.722 square metres. The planks measure 1380mm long, 156mm wide and 8mm thick. It’s classed as AC4 durability, making it suitable for domestic and moderate commercial use.
One of its main benefits is the water-resistant design. Not many laminate floors offer this feature and it enables you to install the floor in bathrooms, kitchens and other areas where real wood wouldn’t be suitable. The planks in the Quick-Step Eligna range are given a Hydroseal coating, ensuring no water is able to penetrate the surface. This also means the floor will be resistant against stains, spills and harmful chemicals. That being said, you should avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning the floor.
Like most Quick-Step floors, this one also boasts Scratchguard technology. This keeps the surface protected against scratches, scuffs and daily wear and tear. It’s particularly resistant against micro scratches, making it a great choice for homes with pets.
Improve the comfort of the floor by installing it with underfloor heating. The majority of modern systems will be compatible, just be sure to familiarise yourself with maximum temperature guidelines.
