AMTICO FIRST LUXURY VINYL TILE FLOORING

Amtico First offers an accessible yet high-quality entry into luxury vinyl flooring, designed to meet the demands of contemporary homes while providing excellent value. This collection is thoughtfully curated to bring you the renowned Amtico quality at a price point that suits a variety of budgets, making it an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their living spaces with stylish and resilient flooring. Amtico First is not just about affordability; it’s about providing a durable and attractive foundation for your home that you can trust for years to come. The range features a practical 0.3mm wear layer, which is engineered to protect the floor from the daily wear and tear of busy households, ensuring it maintains its appearance over time. This makes it suitable for most areas of the home, from living rooms and bedrooms to hallways and kitchens.

The versatility of the Amtico First collection is one of its key strengths. It encompasses a carefully selected palette of wood and stone effects, each designed with an eye for authenticity and contemporary style. The wood designs capture the natural beauty and warmth of timber, offering options from classic oaks to more modern grains, perfect for creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Meanwhile, the stone designs provide a sleek, clean, and fresh look, ideal for modern interiors seeking a touch of understated elegance. These designs often feature micro-bevelled edges, adding to the authentic look and feel of the tiles. Furthermore, the inclusion of Quantum Guard coating enhances the floor’s durability, providing superior resistance to scuffs, scratches, and spills, and making cleaning effortless.

Choosing Amtico First means investing in a floor that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also built for comfort and practicality. The tiles are inherently warmer underfoot than natural stone or ceramic tiles and are fully compatible with underfloor heating systems, ensuring your space remains comfortable throughout the year. The ease of maintenance is another significant advantage; a simple cleaning routine is all that’s needed to keep your Amtico First floor looking its best. Supported by a 15-year warranty, this collection reflects Amtico’s commitment to quality and durability, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your flooring choice. Whether you are renovating a single room or undertaking a whole-house project, Amtico First provides a dependable, stylish, and cost-effective flooring solution that doesn’t compromise on the quality and design excellence synonymous with the Amtico brand.

Amtico First Buying Guide

Choosing the right flooring can transform your home. The Amtico First collection offers an accessible way to enjoy the quality and style of luxury vinyl tile. This guide will help you decide if Amtico First is the perfect fit for your needs.

• Room usage / Location: Amtico First is versatile enough for most areas of your home. Its 0.3mm wear layer provides good durability for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, dining areas, and playrooms. It’s also suitable for kitchens and bathrooms due to its water resistance, but for very high-traffic commercial areas or spaces with intense use, you might consider other Amtico collections with thicker wear layers.
• Lifestyle: If you have a busy household with children or pets, Amtico First is a practical choice. It’s designed to withstand daily wear and tear, is scratch-resistant to a degree, and easy to clean. Its resilience makes it a low-stress option for active homes where spills and messes are common.
• Budget: Amtico First is positioned as an entry-level luxury vinyl tile, offering the Amtico brand quality at a more affordable price point. If you’re looking for a cost-effective LVT solution without compromising too much on style and durability, this range is an excellent contender.
• Durability & Maintenance: With its 0.3mm wear layer and Quantum Guard coating, Amtico First is built for durability and easy maintenance. It resists scuffs, scratches, and stains effectively. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional mopping with Amtico’s recommended cleaning products will keep it looking new. The tiles can also be repaired or replaced individually if damaged.
• Material Type Pros & Cons: Amtico First is a Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT).
  Pros: Highly durable, water-resistant, warmer underfoot than natural materials, comfortable, vast range of designs, easy to clean and maintain, good sound absorption compared to harder surfaces, suitable for underfloor heating, individual tiles can be replaced if damaged.
  Cons: While durable, the 0.3mm wear layer is not as thick as premium Amtico ranges, so it might show wear sooner in extremely high-traffic commercial settings. It’s an authentic reproduction, but not natural wood or stone.
• Aesthetics & Style: Amtico First offers a curated selection of contemporary wood and stone designs. The wood effects bring warmth and a natural feel, while the stone effects offer a clean, modern, and fresh aesthetic. Micro-bevelled edges on some designs enhance the authentic appearance. It’s ideal for achieving a stylish look without the expense or maintenance demands of natural materials.
• Comfort & Sound: LVT flooring like Amtico First is generally comfortable and warmer underfoot than ceramic tiles or stone. It also offers better sound absorption than harder surfaces, reducing ambient noise in a room.
• Underfloor Heating: Amtico First is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems, allowing for a consistently warm and comfortable surface. Always ensure the system is commissioned correctly and temperature guidelines are followed.
• Installation: Amtico First is a glue-down LVT product. Professional installation is recommended to ensure a perfect finish and to validate the warranty. Correct subfloor preparation is crucial for the longevity and appearance of the floor. Grosvenor Flooring offers expert “supply and fit” services for Amtico products.
• Sustainability: While specific sustainability details for Amtico First should be checked on the manufacturer’s latest documentation, LVT products are generally long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent replacement. Amtico as a brand is committed to responsible manufacturing.
