There is a reason that vinyl, laminate, and more recently LVT flooring has all been designed to resemble wood flooring as closely as possible over the years.
There is simply no getting around the fact that wood flooring just looks fantastic. It adds character to your space, brings a warmth and comfort that is simply unmatched by other designs and brings a sense of the natural world inside the home.
However, for most people, installing genuine hardwood flooring is probably not their best option. It is a little bit more effort to maintain than other flooring types and is certainly a bit more expensive.
The solution? Step forward Amtico, one of the World’s leading designers of Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT).
Amtico go above and beyond to ensure that the tiles they produce are as realistic as possible and accurately replicate all of the imperfections, notches, and ridges that make wood flooring so unique.
Why not just get a real hard wood floor?
You could! If you decide that you simply must have the real thing and no alternative, no matter how realistic, will ever do, then go for it.
We have a great selection of wood for you to pick from and would be delighted to help.
However, there are a few potential downside of real hardwood that it is definitely worth taking into consideration.
Without the right care and attention, natural wood will often shrink, or warp, leading to significant repair or replacement costs. Its sensitivity to water also means that it isn’t advised for use in bathrooms and kitchens where high moisture levels and spillages are a common occurrence.
LVT flooring from Amtico Glasgow, on the other hand, can be used in almost any area of the home, is also specifically designed to work over all forms of underfloor heating, and is incredibly easy to look after.
All it takes to keep Amtico floors looking as fresh and vibrant as the day they were installed is a quick mop every now and them.
LVT floors are also much less prone to scratches and staining and given the realism of the sophisticated printing techniques used at Amtico, many of our customers decide that this is by far the more convenient, cost-effective, and simply better option.
What types of wood designs are available with Amtico?
That is the beauty of LVT flooring. As the top layer is printed on, the options for designs are almost unlimited and the Amtico range is vast, with every single option offering the same high standard of finish and feel.
From powdered out to salvaged timber, it really is no exaggeration to say that there is something in the Amtico range for everyone, no matter what your taste or preference may be.
The Amtico flooring range is split into a number of collections including form, signature, and more to allow you to narrow down your search, with numerous designs created with individual rooms in mind, whether that be kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, or anywhere else.
