When it comes to choosing flooring for your home, the options can seem overwhelming. However, if you’re looking for a perfect blend of style, durability, and practicality, Amtico flooring stands head and shoulders above the competition. As Kent’s leading flooring specialists, we’ve seen firsthand how Amtico transforms homes across the county, and we’re here to share everything you need to know about this exceptional flooring solution.
What is Amtico Flooring?
Amtico is a premium luxury vinyl flooring brand that has been crafting beautiful floors for over 60 years. Unlike standard vinyl flooring, Amtico uses cutting-edge manufacturing techniques to create floors that not only look stunning but also stand the test of time. Each plank or tile is carefully designed to replicate natural materials like wood and stone, with such precision that it’s often difficult to tell the difference from the real thing.
What sets Amtico apart is its commitment to quality. The brand offers an extensive range of designs, from classic wood effects to contemporary stone finishes, ensuring there’s a perfect option for every Kent home, whether you’re in a Victorian terrace in Canterbury, a modern apartment in Maidstone, or a country cottage in the Weald.
The Outstanding Benefits of Amtico Flooring
Unmatched Durability
One of the primary reasons homeowners across Kent choose Amtico flooring is its remarkable durability. Amtico floors are built to withstand the demands of busy family life, from muddy boots after a walk in the Kent countryside to the pitter-patter of pets’ paws. The wear layer on Amtico flooring is designed to resist scratches, scuffs, and dents, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and living rooms.
Unlike real wood, which can warp or fade over time, Amtico maintains its appearance year after year. Many of our Kent customers tell us their Amtico floors look as good as new even after a decade of use—a testament to the product’s exceptional quality.
Incredible Style Versatility
Amtico flooring offers an unparalleled range of design options. Whether you’re drawn to the warm, rustic charm of reclaimed oak, the sleek sophistication of polished concrete, or the timeless elegance of marble, Amtico has you covered. The brand’s design team works tirelessly to stay ahead of interior trends, ensuring their collections always feel fresh and contemporary.
What’s more, Amtico allows for complete customisation through its Amtico Signature range. You can create bespoke patterns, borders, and feature strips to make your floor truly unique. We’ve helped numerous Kent homeowners create stunning herringbone patterns, intricate geometric designs, and eye-catching borders that become the focal point of their rooms.
Effortless Maintenance
In our busy lives, the last thing anyone wants is a floor that demands constant attention. Amtico flooring is incredibly easy to clean and maintain. A simple sweep and occasional damp mop is all that’s needed to keep your floor looking pristine. Unlike natural stone or timber, there’s no need for special treatments, oils, or sealants.
Amtico’s surface is also naturally resistant to stains and spills, which is particularly valuable in kitchens and dining areas. Whether it’s red wine, coffee, or the inevitable juice spill from little ones, cleanup is straightforward and stress-free.
Comfort and Warmth
Despite being a vinyl product, Amtico flooring is surprisingly warm and comfortable underfoot. It’s also compatible with underfloor heating systems, making it an excellent choice for those chilly Kent winters. The slight cushioning effect of Amtico also means it’s gentler on joints than harder surfaces like ceramic tiles—something that’s particularly appreciated in homes with elderly residents.
Waterproof Properties
Amtico flooring is 100% waterproof, making it suitable for any room in your home, including bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms. This is a significant advantage over real wood flooring, which can suffer irreparable damage from water exposure. For Kent homes, where damp can occasionally be a concern, this waterproof quality provides invaluable peace of mind.
How Does Amtico Compare to Other Luxury Vinyl Flooring?
While there are several luxury vinyl tile (LVT) brands on the market, Amtico consistently ranks among the very best. Here’s why:
Design Quality: Amtico’s designs are incredibly realistic, with detailed embossing and authentic colour variations that closely mimic natural materials. The depth and quality of their printed layers surpass many competitors.
Durability: Amtico’s wear layer is thicker than many alternative brands, providing superior protection against wear and tear. This translates to a longer lifespan and better value for money.
Manufacturing Standards: As a British company with manufacturing facilities in Coventry, Amtico maintains rigorous quality control. Each product is tested extensively before reaching your Kent home.
Warranty: Amtico offers excellent warranties on both residential and commercial installations, reflecting their confidence in the product’s longevity.
Range: With hundreds of colours, patterns, and styles available, Amtico’s collection is more extensive than most competitors, giving you greater creative freedom.
Whilst brands like Karndean and Moduleo offer quality products, many of our Kent customers ultimately choose Amtico for its superior design authenticity and proven track record.
