Why Buy Amtico From an Amtico Retail Partner?
Reviewed by our team, led by Adam Williams, Managing Director
Amtico is only sold through its own network of Retail Partners. Grosvenor Flooring is one of them. Our 24/7 Smart Showroom at 82 Stamford New Road, Altrincham has Amtico on display. This guide explains why buying through a partner matters, especially if you want one of Amtico’s laying patterns.
In this article
Genuine Amtico and the Full Design Library
A Retail Partner buys direct from Amtico, so the floor you receive is genuine and current. It also means access to the whole library across all six collections, including the borders and feature strips that make Amtico different. A seller outside the network may only offer what it happens to have.
Taking the figures from our own product pages, the six collections are First (0.3mm wear layer), Spacia (0.55mm), Form (0.7mm), Signature (1.0mm), Click Smart (click, 0.55mm) and Access (loose-lay, 0.55mm).
The Guarantee
Amtico’s residential guarantees run from 25 years to lifetime, depending on the collection. The cover depends on genuine product laid to Amtico’s installation guidance. We set out the exact guarantee for your floor in the quote.
Why Pattern Floors Need Careful Fitting
Herringbone, parquet and bordered layouts are where Amtico shines, but they are also where mistakes show. Each pattern has to be set out from the centre of the room so the edges come out even. Strips have to run dead straight. The subfloor underneath needs to be flat, because Amtico is thin enough to show every dip.
That is why our quotes follow a survey. Blake Williams, our Operations Director, checks the base and plans the layout before pricing. A regular team of fitters we know and trust then lays the floor, patterns and strips included. Our laying patterns guide shows what is possible.
