Amtico Spacia Alternative: The GF Match for Every Spacia Wood Design
Reviewed by our team, led by Adam Williams, Managing Director
Amtico Spacia is one of the best-known luxury vinyl ranges in the UK and we supply and fit it. If you have found a Spacia wood design you like but the price, the lead time or the plank size is not quite right, this page shows the closest design from our own brand GF by Grosvenor Flooring for every one of the 63 Spacia wood designs on our site. Every match is glue-down with the same 0.55mm wear layer as Spacia.

Key Takeaways
Amtico Spacia and GF at a Glance
Spacia 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, the clear protective top coat, is 0.55mm on all three.
For the full comparison, read our GF Glue-Down LVT vs Amtico guide. For more on Spacia itself, see our Amtico Spacia guide.
| Range | Fitting | Wear layer | Thickness | Plank size | Residential warranty | Underfloor heating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amtico Spacia | Glue-down | 0.55mm | 2.5mm | Several plank sizes | 25 years | Yes |
| GF by Associated Weavers | Glue-down | 0.55mm | 2mm | 178 x 1219mm plank and 114 x 457mm parquet | 25 years | Yes |
| GF Glue-Down LVT 0.55mm | Glue-down | 0.55mm | 2.5mm | 228.6 x 1219.2mm plank | Lifetime | Yes |
Every Amtico Spacia Wood Design and Its Closest GF Match
The table lists every Spacia wood design on our site in A to Z order with the single closest GF design. Each match has the same fitting, the same plank look and the same 0.55mm wear layer.
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.
The GF Designs That Match Spacia Most Often
A handful of GF oaks cover most of the Spacia wood range, so if you are choosing between several Spacia 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.
Spacia Stone and Tile Designs
This page covers Spacia’s wood designs. For a Spacia stone or concrete tile, search for the design name in Floor Finder: choose “I have seen a floor I like” and type the Spacia name. It shows the closest GF tile with the same fitting, or tells you if nothing is close enough.
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 Spacia design itself, visit our Altrincham showroom, where both are on display.
When Amtico Spacia Is the Right Answer
Sometimes Spacia itself is the right choice: you have your heart set on one particular Spacia design, you want a Spacia format GF does not offer, such as the 610 x 914mm XXL tile, or your project specification names Amtico. We supply and fit the full Spacia range too, so you can compare both and choose. If you are weighing Spacia against the rest of the Amtico range, our Amtico alternative guide covers the GF match for First, Form, Signature and Click Smart.
