Amtico Benefits

Why buy an Amtico floor instead of the real thing?
An obvious choice for floor areas where water or moisture is a potential problem; especially kitchens, bathrooms, shower-rooms, cloakrooms and conservatories. Amtico tiles will not swell curl or stain with water - a big risk with hardwood and laminates.

I WANT STONE, WHY CHOOSE AMTICO?
  • It will not chip, crack or flake.
  • It is quieter and softer underfoot.
  • No need to seal or dress Amtico.
  • Lightweight and thin, no raised doors or units necessary.
  • It will not stain - coffee, cola and red wine will all stain marble.
  • Mix products, huge design possibilities.
Stone floors are cold and hard. They can also absorb stains and must be cleaned carefully, often needing the application of a sealer. Amtico tiles offer the same beauty of the natural material but are warm to the touch and something dropped is not always something broken! An Amtico floor is much more comfortable for children and pets.

 I WANT WOOD, WHY CHOOSE AMTICO?
  • It will not splinter, warp, fade, stain or swell.
  • Water resistant - ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • No messy sanding or polishing.
  • Quieter underfoot.
  • Greater selection of pattern and design possibilities.
Hardwood floors are like furniture, they can look beautiful in a living room but need careful treatment. Wear from foot traffic means they need occasional sanding down and re-polishing. Wood can swell or shrink as the environment in a room changes. This can cause instability, cracking or warping. An Amtico wood strip or parquet floor will again give an authentic wood appearance but will not give any of the problems associated with hardwood. Hardwood flooring is not recommended for kitchens bathrooms or conservatories.

 I WANT A CERAMIC FLOOR, WHY CHOOSE AMTICO?
  • It will not chip, crack or fade.
  • No grout to seal and reseal.
  • Fast and easy to install.
  • Quieter, warmer and softer underfoot.
Ceramic tiles are widely used in kitchens and bathrooms. They are easy to wipe clean but, like stone, are cold and hard. Ceramic tiles can easily be broken or cracked if something heavy falls on them. Some ceramic tiles can also be very slippery when wet. Amtico manufacture a range of ceramic tile reproductions from classic black and white for a chequerboard to a terracotta tile for the country look. They are all much warmer and more comfortable to live with, neither will they break.

COMFORT AND SAFETY
  • No splinters
  • Child & pet friendly
  • Fewer breakages
  • No mould growth
  • Non allergenic - will not harbor dirt, smells or dust-mites like carpet
