Amtico Form Alternative: The GF Match for Every Form Wood Design
Reviewed by our team, led by Adam Williams, Managing Director
Amtico Form is Amtico’s wood-focused glue-down range and we supply and fit it. If you have found a Form wood design you like but the price, the lead time or the plank size is not quite right, there is a GF alternative. This page shows the closest design from our own brand GF by Grosvenor Flooring for every one of the 34 Form wood designs on our site, matched on fitting, look and wear layer.

Key Takeaways
Form and GF at a Glance
Form and the two GF glue-down ranges are built the same way: a flexible vinyl plank bonded to a smooth, prepared subfloor with adhesive. The wear layer is the clear protective top coat.
For the full comparison, read our GF Glue-Down LVT vs Amtico guide. For more on Form itself, see our Amtico Form guide.
| Range | Fitting | Wear layer | Thickness | Residential warranty | Underfloor heating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amtico Form | Glue-down | 0.7mm | 2.5mm | 30 years | Yes |
| GF by Associated Weavers | Glue-down | 0.55mm | 2mm | 25 years | Yes |
| GF Glue-Down LVT | Glue-down | 0.55mm or 0.7mm | 2.5mm (0.55mm) or 3mm (0.7mm) | Lifetime | Yes |
Every Amtico Form Wood Design and Its Closest GF Match
The table lists every Form wood design on our site in A to Z order with the single closest GF design. Each match has the same fitting and the same plank, herringbone or chevron look.
How close is each match? “Very close match” and “Similar look” mean both floors have been checked against photos. “Similar colour” means no GF design passed the photo check, so the table shows the GF design closest in colour with the same fitting and look. For those, order samples of two or three GF designs before you decide. If you want the same 0.7mm wear layer as Form, ask us about the GF Glue-Down 0.7mm tier as well.
The GF Designs That Match Form Most Often
A handful of GF designs cover most of the Form wood range, so if you are choosing between several Form designs, these are the GF samples to order first:
Every GF design is also listed with its wear layer, thickness and plank size on the GF Flooring website, under GF by AW and Glue Down LVT.
How to Check a Match Before You Buy
Colour and grain read differently on a screen than in a room, so order a free sample of the GF match and look at it on your own floor, in daylight and under your own lighting. To see it next to the Form design itself, visit our Altrincham showroom, where both are on display.
When Amtico Form Is the Right Answer
Sometimes Form itself is the right choice: you have your heart set on one particular Form design or your project specification names Amtico. We supply and fit the full Form range too, so you can compare both and choose. Our Amtico alternative guide covers the GF match for every Amtico range.
