Amtico Signature Collection
The first line of flooring we want to touch on from Amtico is the Signature Collection. There are over 200 styles in this collection including 90 wood tones, 75 stone styles, and around 50 patterns. Regardless of the type of material their flooring is designed to mimic, every style has a few things in common.
Boards and tiles are 2.5mm thick with a 1.0mm wear layer. Despite those specifications, you’ll get a lifetime residential warranty from this flooring. There are also close to a half-dozen surface finishes available, which vary along with the sizes and configurations.
With Amtico LVT, you can browse through a mix of cool and warm tones. Tempus Embrace is medium gray and has a ceramic surface finish with 8 different sizes. There are also 6 configurations including patterns like Broken Bond and Woven. It’s available in four different hues whereas the Stucco series provides more depth and color.
This flooring has an Earthen Plaster surface finish and ranges from rich colors like Stucco Indigo to more soothing hues including Stucco Putty and Stucco Clay. All three come in the same sizes, but with slightly different pattern configurations. There aren’t nearly as many patterns with Encaustic Tourmaline, but to call it a unique color would be an understatement.
Homeowners interested in highly visual styles will appreciate Welsh Slate with its Riven Marble finish or the Alchemy series in Storm, Haze, or Atmosphere. Whether you prefer a natural-looking luxury vinyl tile like Exposed Concrete or the blended palette of Kura Anise, there is a style of tile for everyone in this collection.
The company’s selection of wood-look flooring is just as impressive as the tile from the Signature Collection. Worn wood can be hard to recreate, but they pulled it off with Reclaimed Oak, which is a multi-tonal brown board grey grain. The Barnwood Tick finish adds a rustic charm, and you’ll get the same kind of vibe from Trace Ferric.
If you’re partial to gray tones, there are options like Shore Oak, Pearl Wash Wood, ChateauOak, and Halo Pine. You can find those shades in a mix of finishes that range from Tick to Natural, and there are several classic styles as well. Rotterdam Oak provides a clean look with light brown grain and Sugar Maple is the closest you’ll get to white.
A few more interesting choices from this line include the Shibori series in Lapsang, Sencha, and Jasmine along with Cirrus planks which feature unique streaking throughout. Those planks come in several colors while Wash Wood is only available in two hues, but unmistakable whether you prefer Ink Wash or Pearl flooring.
Designers’ Choice and Décor
All of the styles we’ve covered so far are similar to designs from other manufacturers to a degree. If you are looking to liven up a room with bright colors or a unique layout, you’ll want to consider something from the Designers’ Choice Collection.
This collection has over 130 styles that vary considerably in format and color. Homeowners that love parquet can choose from options like Batiste, Delft, or Mantle which are multi-tonal planks. There are close to a dozen styles of chevron flooring as well including the weathered Willow, Annatto, and Sumac.
One of the bolder patterns from this collection is Terrace. It’s a linked design featuring neutral tones mixed with terracotta, although it pales in comparison to Jasper, which is darker terracotta with small charcoal accents. On the lighter side, there are dozens of geometric patterned floors including Kura, Sooth, Quartz, Torsade, and Bijou.
Most of the patterns we’ve mentioned have fairly tame designs, even if the color palette is bold. Well, Amtico has a number of irregular alternatives as well. Estella, Rigel, Celeste, Pavo, and Elektra are made up of smaller triangles and squares with pastel colors and earthy tones. Nubuck, Pier, and Orion are larger versions of those styles while Royal is a pattern that can play tricks with your eyes.
Patterns from the Amtico Décor collection are also an alternative with a mix of classic, modern and southwestern styles like Classic Sepia. All vinyl flooring from both of these lines has the same specifications as the Signature Collection. The main difference is that no finishing techniques are used, and the sizes which vary by style.
Amtico Spacia Collection
The second-largest collection of vinyl flooring from Amtico comes from the company’s Spacia Collection. While there aren’t quite as many surface finishes to choose from, it’s where you’ll find unique patterns like Ridge Ore and Sky Tint.
Those styles are only available in tile format, but in a variety of sizes. For a more traditional look, the Concrete series is ideal with colors like Gallery, Monument, and Plaza. Other uniform colors from this collection include Metropolis Ice, Platinum, and Ceramic Ecru.
If you want to stick to styles with a natural vibe, it’s hard to beat Desert Sandstone or Linear Stone Shale. While there isn’t as much variance with their wood styles the colors range from natural tones like Eden Oak and Worn Ash to dark woods. Smoked Timber and Mirus Indigo on the lighter end of the gray shades.
Homeowners looking for something darker will appreciate Inked Cedar or Cellar Oak with its Barnwood finish. Other unique options from this collection include the aptly named Silk Weave, Softline Charcoal, and Sift Stone Graphite. All flooring from this lineup is 2.5mm thick as well but has a urethane top coat and a 0.55mm wear layer. Like all of the flooring from the previous collections, these styles all require a glue-down installation.
