Amtico Signature is a high-end quality and British made product. With a huge range of styles this original LVT flooring can make every space truly unique with the endless possibilities of design. The wood style chosen for this house adds charm and warmth to the space, creating an attractive and modern finish with Signature Woods. Amtico planks and tiles are finished with bevelled edges meaning when they are fitted, they make a ‘V’ in the join, which creates a more defined and realistic finish. Amtico products are a great solution for gorgeous flooring that is easy to maintain with a high resistance wear and easy clean surface, along with a warm and soft touch underfoot.
See our Amtico page for further details on this product.
INSTALLATION
Where carpets were fitted, Cloud 9 underlay was used as part of the preparation works. It is extremely important to use a high-quality underlay as it preserves the wear of the carpet, keeping the carpet looking newer for longer. It is very well known saying in the industry that underlay is just as important as the carpet!
This house was a new build which had a laitance concrete screed poured as part of the building works. Laitance does not stick to adhesive therefore careful preparation works were required to grind off the laitance from the sub floor surface. Once the grinding was complete, a specialised primer and screed was used to smooth the floor before laying the Amtico.
