Amtico Vinyl Flooring Reviews and Cost 2023

Homeowners in Europe have enjoyed Amtico’s vinyl flooring for years, although the brand may be unfamiliar to consumers in the states. This Coventry-based company produces precision-crafted vinyl flooring in a variety of styles, and in configurations you won’t find elsewhere. If you appreciate unique patterns, you’ll be impressed by the collections we cover in our Amtico vinyl flooring review.

Amtico Vinyl Flooring Collection

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.

Amtico Click Smart and Form Collections

The last two collections from Amtico’s residential line of vinyl flooring are Click Smart and Form. Both feature flooring that resembles wood and have urethane top coats to protect them from scuffs and scratches. Aside from having different styles, the dimensions and installation process are what set these collections apart.

Glue-down flooring has its advantages but isn’t necessarily the best choice for homeowners looking for a product that’s quick and easy to install. The Click Smart Collection is Amtico’s answer to that, and you’ll find similar styles from their other collections whether you are partial to wood or stone. Light tones from this collection include Nimbus Oak, Worn Ash, and White Oak.

There are a number of gray tones with styles like Weathered Oak and Dusky Walnut and even some rustic planks in the form of Chapel Hill. Bronze, Slate Flint, Ceramic Ecru, Lyme, and Portland are some of the more notable tiles from this collection. All have Click Smart edges and are 6mm thick with a 0.55mm wear layer.

In the Form Collection, you’ll find around 20 wood styles and a half-dozen that resemble stone. Most of these are in familiar hues like Tidal and Opal. As for their flooring that resembles wood, the majority of the collection is in the brown color range with the exception of some grays and Coal Grained Oak. This collection is of the glue-down variety and 2.5mm thick with a 0.7mm wear layer.

The Green Factor

Amtico has been in the vinyl business since 1964, and have seen a lot of changes in the flooring industry over the years. When it comes to eco-friendly flooring, they don’t disappoint with five VOC certificates. That ensures their products are safe to use, and that they put waste from the manufacturing process to good use.

According to the company, up to 40% of production waste is put into use and around 60% of their packaging is made from recycled content.  At present, the company is certified by FloorScore in the United States and Eurofins, M1, and the UKAS in the United Kingdom.

Warranties

Like other flooring manufacturers, Amtico’s warranties are conditional so you need to read the fine print. That said, you’ll get a lifetime warranty with the Signature, Designers’ and Décor collections. The Form Collection is listed at 30 years while the Spacia Collection comes with a 25-year guarantee.

Surprisingly, their thickest product also has the shortest warranty, so you’ll only get a 20-year warranty with flooring from the Smart Click Collection. All warranties are transferable as well except for the Smart Click flooring line from Amtico.

Amtico Cost and Availability

Pricing on Amtico vinyl flooring is available through dealers and showrooms across the UK, and you can use their dealer locater tool on site to find a location close to your residence. If you live in the United States, things aren’t nearly as clear cut.

U.S. consumers are directed to Amtico’s parent company, Mannington commercial. While we did notice similar styles between these two brands, you’ll want to contact Amtico directly if you’re interested in purchasing their flooring in the United States.

Amtico Vinyl Flooring Pros, Cons, and Ratings

Amtico is an interesting brand compared to competitors stateside. While they have an impressive collection of vinyl flooring and a number of unique styles, 90% of their collections require a glue-down installation. That’s the only way to produce some of the patterns the company manufacturers, but a drawback if you’re looking for something quick and easy.
