Amtico Click Smart

Amtico Click Smart represents a significant advancement in luxury vinyl flooring, offering a versatile and user-friendly option without compromising on the premium quality associated with the Amtico brand. At its heart is a robust rigid core construction. This multi-layered design provides exceptional stability, meaning Click Smart planks and tiles are less susceptible to expansion and contraction caused by temperature fluctuations compared to traditional vinyl flooring. This inherent stability also allows the flooring to successfully bridge minor imperfections in the subfloor, simplifying preparation and installation.

One of the standout features is the straightforward click-locking system. Planks and tiles simply click together along the edges, creating a strong, secure, and seamless join without the need for messy adhesives. This makes installation significantly faster, reducing disruption in your home. While Amtico Click Smart is designed to be accessible for competent DIY enthusiasts, opting for a professional installation service, like the supply and fit offered by Grosvenor Flooring’s expert teams, guarantees a flawless finish and ensures compliance with warranty requirements.

Practicality is paramount with Click Smart. The integrated acoustic underlay not only contributes to a quicker installation but also provides noticeable benefits in terms of sound insulation, reducing impact noise and creating a quieter environment – a welcome feature in multi-level homes or apartments. Furthermore, the entire range is 100% waterproof, making it an ideal choice for areas prone to spills and moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and entrance halls. This waterproof quality, combined with a tough 0.55mm wear layer, ensures excellent durability against scratches, scuffs, and stains, backed by a reassuring 20-year domestic warranty.

Amtico is celebrated for its design leadership, and the Click Smart collection is no exception. It offers a curated selection of highly realistic wood and stone designs, capturing the natural beauty and texture of the materials that inspired them. From classic oak effects in various hues to contemporary stone looks, there’s a style to complement any interior design scheme. The attention to detail in the print films and surface embossing creates an authentic look and feel that elevates any space. Maintenance is minimal; regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping are all that’s needed to keep your floor looking its best.
