AMTICO Technology
Along with its inherent beauty and integrity of design, all Amtico flooring features our world leading, exclusive flooring technology: Amtico MPS (Multiple Performance System)
Up to 40% of the thickness of an Amtico floor is dedicated to performance, making it vastly superior to competitor products.
Taken individually, each of the layers can be considered the most advanced of its kind in the world. Together,they give our flooring
totally realistic aesthetics, unrivalled durability and unbeatable appearance retention.
Layer 5: The base support layer, providing strong adhesion to the under-surface .
Layer 4: The aesthetic layer created by Amtico’s in-house design team. This is either digitally enhanced photography to give our flooring its totally realistic aesthetics or our designers use a variety of techniques and effects to create our innovative product portfolio.
The remaining construction is dedicated to performance, and this is what we call Amtico MPS:
Layer 3: Performance Layer 2 High density for high resistance to indentation. This MPS layer is made up of very dense material which offers extremely high resistance to indentation. This allows Amtico to perform exceptionally well in high traffic areas and instances of high point-loading (high heeled shoes, chair legs for example). Amtico floors are a lot less reliant on plasticizers than other floor manufacturers. This results in a more resilient material and means that the product is less likely to shrink over time. Products with high levels of plasticizers also have higher environmental emissions and have a poor resistance to stain.
Layer 2: Performance Layer 1 Ceramic impregnated for improved slip resistance and durability. This Amtico MPS layer is made up of engineered ceramic particles that provide enhanced slip resistance. The particles also enhance the appearance of your Amtico floor, giving a more natural rather than gloss texture, as well as providing further protection against discolouration. Any direct competitor comparison will demonstrate that Amtico is superior both technically and aesthetically.
Layer 1: Top MPS layer Urethane Treatment – Super tough surface for scratch resistance and lower maintenance. The top MPS layer is the Urethane treatment. This is an extremely tough layer that provides a high level of scratch, scuff and stain resistance. Urethane treated floors do not need to be polished or dressed, therefore reducing the time and costs involved in maintenance. Our unique manufacturing process also helps the product resist the damaging effects of light, preventing any ‘ yellowing’ of the finish.
Although cheaper alternatives to the Amtico multi-layering system are available, we are convinced that quality and performance are more important than a short term saving.
