Ark Tiles sells Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl LVT in five ranges: Bloom, Blos, Ciro, Illume and Oro (61 designs, prices checked 3 Oct 2026). Pack prices run from £36.59 (Ciro) to £89.14 (one Illume design). Bloom, Ciro and Illume are 6 mm including an attached underlay; Blos and Oro are 5 mm including an attached underlay (Quick-Step technical data sheet, edition 06/2026). Every product page we checked lists Class 33. Cut-size samples are free (£0), with £4.99 delivery, up to 5 per order. Free UK delivery over £499.
Which Quick-Step LVT range
This page is the buying guide for those five ranges: board size, thickness, pack coverage, the attached underlay, and the pack price on the day we checked. It does not replace the short LVT flooring UK page or the shop grids. Use Quick-Step LVT or the wider LVT collection to buy. Nothing here crowns a best range.
Bloom and Blos are wood planks. Oro and Illume are stone and tile formats. Ciro is herringbone. Quick-Step's own page for Ciro says it can mix with Bloom. That is Quick-Step's line, given here with no link off this site.
Prices are the live Ark collection on 3 Oct 2026: 61 products, vendor Quick-Step, type LVT Flooring. Coverage, thickness and panels per pack are from the specification table on one product page in each range, re-opened the same day. Board length and width come from the product description, and they matched on every design inside a range. The short tiles-per-pack line in that description does not match the table, so it is not used. The £/m² column is maths: pack price divided by coverage, rounded half-up to two decimal places. It is not a price printed on the product page.
| Range | Designs | Board (L × W × thickness) | Coverage / pack | Panels / pack | Ark pack price, 3 Oct 2026 | £/m² (maths) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha Bloom | 25 | 1494 × 209 × 6.0 mm | 1.873 m² | 6 | £79.11 on 18 designs. £79.32 on Autumn Oak Chocolate, Sundown Pine, Autumn Oak Honey and Autumn Oak Brown. £84.27 on Elegant Oak Natural. £86.76 on Brushed Oak Honey and Brushed Oak Beige. | £79.11 gives £42.24. £79.32 gives £42.35. £84.27 gives £44.99. £86.76 gives £46.32. |
| Alpha Vinyl Blos | 15 | 1251 × 189 × 5.0 mm | 2.128 m² | 9 | £75.09 on all 15 | £35.29 |
| Alpha Vinyl Oro | 7 | 610 × 303 × 5.0 mm | 1.848 m² | 10 | £65.07 on all 7 | £35.21 |
| Alpha Vinyl Illume | 8 | 856 × 428 × 6.0 mm | 2.198 m² | 6 | £89.01 on 7 designs. £89.14 on Oyster Concrete (AVMTU40275). | £89.01 gives £40.50. £89.14 gives £40.56. |
| Alpha Vinyl Ciro | 6 | 630 × 126 × 6.0 mm | 0.794 m² | 10 | £36.59 on all 6 | £46.08 |
One live product page from each range:
- Alpha Bloom, Elegant Oak Natural
- Alpha Vinyl Blos, Classic Oak Natural
- Alpha Vinyl Oro, Coral Rock
- Alpha Vinyl Illume, Sandstone Concrete
- Alpha Vinyl Ciro, Botanic Smoked Oak
On those specification tables, Bloom and Ciro are embossed in register. Blos, Oro and Illume are not. The click system is Uniclic on Bloom, Blos, Oro and Illume. Ciro uses Unizip, and the page says the herringbone plank clicks on both sides.
A lower pack price is not a lower cost per square metre. Ciro's £36.59 pack covers 0.794 m², so the maths is £46.08/m². Oro's £65.07 pack covers 1.848 m², so the maths is £35.21/m². Read the coverage column with the price.
Thickness and the attached underlay
The Ark tables list 6.0 mm on Bloom, Ciro and Illume, and 5.0 mm on Blos and Oro. The Quick-Step technical data sheet, edition 06/2026, splits that total. Bloom, Ciro and Illume are 6 mm including the attached underlay (5+1). Blos and Oro are 5 mm including the attached underlay (4+1). The pad in that sheet is 1 mm crosslinked polyethylene. The same edition lists impact sound of ΔLw 21 dB for Bloom, Ciro and Illume, and 19 dB for Blos and Oro. Those decibel figures are the datasheet, not a result printed on the Ark page.
All five ranges already have the underlay attached. Do not add a second underlay under Bloom, Blos, Ciro, Illume or Oro. Quick-Step warranty conditions V09.2026 say a product with integrated underlay may not be installed on another underlay, or on a support that is too soft, and that a laminate or parquet underlay is not suitable for this click vinyl.
Quick-Step underlay rolls are still in the underlay collection, for floors that do not already have a pad. That link is not an extra layer for these five ranges, and this guide does not name a roll as the required pad for any other floor.
Warranty has to stay as two lines. The Quick-Step technical data sheet, edition 06/2026, gives a lifetime warranty for residential use, and a commercial warranty of 5 years, on request up to 15 years. Lifetime in that sentence is residential only, and only beside the commercial line. The Ark table shows a warranty row on Bloom and Ciro only. The text is "Lifetime warranty" and a note to consult the warranty conditions. It does not say residential. Blos, Oro and Illume have no warranty row. This page does not treat those three Ark tables as a lifetime warranty.
Class 33, water and underfloor heating
Each of the five specification tables re-checked for this guide prints Class 33 and the line "Suitable for heavy commercial use." The Quick-Step technical data sheet, edition 06/2026, lists class 23–33 for these build-ups. Class 33 is the Ark table. It is not a ranking of the five ranges.
Water is not one shared label. Bloom, Ciro, Oro and Illume are Hydroseal on the Ark water-resistance row. Blos is not Hydroseal. The Blos row says "Water resistant", and that the floors are suitable for use in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens. That is a product-page line, not a bathroom price.
Underfloor heating on the Ark table is the word true, with no temperature. This page does not invent one as an Ark fact. The Quick-Step technical data sheet, edition 06/2026, says floor heating on standard systems in cement subfloors, limited for heating films, with a maximum contact temperature of 27°C. Follow Quick-Step's install sheet for the range you are laying. The word true is not a substitute for that sheet.
How many packs
Divide the floor area by the coverage per pack, then round up to a whole pack. Coverage is 1.873 m² for Bloom, 2.128 m² for Blos, 1.848 m² for Oro, 2.198 m² for Illume, and 0.794 m² for Ciro. The £/m² column uses the same division, with pack price in place of room area.
A 20 m² room is 11 Bloom packs (20 ÷ 1.873 = 10.68), 10 Blos packs (20 ÷ 2.128 = 9.40), 11 Oro packs (20 ÷ 1.848 = 10.82), 10 Illume packs (20 ÷ 2.198 = 9.10), or 26 Ciro packs (20 ÷ 0.794 = 25.19). Ciro needs more packs because each pack covers less floor. This page has not invented a higher waste percentage for herringbone.
Quick-Step's Bloom page says to order about 10% extra for cutting loss. That 10% is Quick-Step's planning line for Bloom, not a rule Ark has set, and it has not been checked here as a figure for the other four ranges. Door openings and a diagonal lay will change the count. This guide does not price labour or fitting.
If you are comparing a click wood floor that is not vinyl, Quick-Step laminate is a separate product. It is not LVT, and it is not one of the five ranges above.
Samples, delivery and returns
Not sure on the shade? Order a free cut-size sample of any Quick-Step LVT (£0). Sample delivery is £4.99 per order, up to 5 samples. The same offer covers our tiles and laminate. Order samples, or shop Quick-Step LVT once the colour is settled.
You may cancel an online order and return all or part of it within 14 days of delivery. Unused products in their original cartons, in a condition fit for resale, are what the returns and refunds page describes. This guide does not shorten those conditions, and it does not call the returns free.
Skirting and stairs
Skirtings and profiles are separate products. These prices were checked on 3 Oct 2026. If a price moves, use the product page.
- LVT standard skirting to match, 2.4 m: £15.75
- LVT scotia to match, 2.4 m: £12.45
- LVT Incizo profile to match, 2 m: £46.35, except Sandstone concrete at £50.06.
- Incizo aluminium subprofile for stairs: £38.01
Skirting is listed in the skirting collection. Profiles are in profiles and trims. Matched decor is chosen on the product page.
How to fit a flight is on the LVT on stairs guide. The aluminium subprofile above is a stair accessory at the price shown. This buying guide does not list a luxury vinyl tread piece as something we hold for stairs.
FAQs
What is the difference between Quick-Step Bloom, Blos, Ciro, Illume and Oro?
Bloom and Blos are wood planks. Oro and Illume are stone and tile formats. Ciro is herringbone, on Unizip, and Quick-Step says it can mix with Bloom. Thickness, pack coverage, panels and the 3 Oct 2026 pack prices are in the table. There is no winning range.
Do I need a separate underlay?
No, not for these five ranges. Quick-Step lists an attached underlay, and warranty conditions V09.2026 say not to lay an integrated-underlay product on another underlay. The underlay collection is for floors that do not already have a pad.
Can I use it with underfloor heating?
The Ark specification table marks underfloor heating as true. The Quick-Step technical data sheet, edition 06/2026, adds a maximum contact temperature of 27°C, for standard systems in cement subfloors, and treats heating films as limited. Follow Quick-Step's install sheet.
How much does a pack cover?
Bloom 1.873 m², Blos 2.128 m², Oro 1.848 m², Illume 2.198 m², Ciro 0.794 m², from the specification tables re-checked on 3 Oct 2026. The £/m² figures are pack price divided by that coverage. They are maths.
Can I get a sample?
Yes. Cut-size samples are free (£0). Sample delivery is £4.99 per order, up to 5. Tiles, laminate and LVT are included. Use the free tile samples page. This guide states no sample size and no sample delivery time.
What warranty is it?
From the Quick-Step technical data sheet, edition 06/2026: lifetime for residential use, and 5 years commercial, on request up to 15 years. The Ark table shows a lifetime-warranty row only on Bloom and Ciro, and that row does not say residential. Blos, Oro and Illume have no warranty row on the Ark table.
Is delivery free?
Only the single line in the opening answer. No other delivery offer is stated on this page.
Can I return it?
Within 14 days of delivery you may cancel and return all or part of an online order. Goods should be unused, in the original cartons, and fit for resale. See returns and refunds. This is not described as a free return.
