Amtico flooring in period property?
Comments (20)I'm also extending a listed period home (modern extension granted!) and wanted to re-floor the existing kitchen so that there was a good visual flow. Long story short, to put the 22mm engineered wood flooring into the kitchen would have necessitated either raising all cabinets to sit on it or some rather inelegant cutting around the cabinets. So I've gone for a mixture -Karndean in the kitchen and engineered flooring in the new extension - I managed to get quite a good match. Key factors for me were that the kitchen (albeit a fair size at 5m X 5m) is north facing so doesn't have great natural light, and the visible floor space once the table and chairs are in place is pretty small. The new extension has big windows and good natural light owing to a south-facing return and I don't plan to fill the floorspace with stuff so the flooring will be more apparent. I agree that in a period home, where you've taken pains to be authentic a wooden floor would be more in keeping and attractive to potential buyers with an eye to period detailing. Having said that I'm finding the Karndean easy on the eye and easy to keep! Cost-wise it works out similar to the new wooden flooring because I had to have the old kitchen floor ripped up and screeded to level it. Here are some images, the second one shows Karndean has a wood effect texture....See MoreWooden flooring or Amtico wood look flooring
Comments (13)If considering wood you could get unfinished wood installed. Companies such as Wood Floor Accessories are a great supplier. Having it finished on site means a finish can be picked that works for your home. Each home has variables such as pets, different traffic and the owners desire to maintain the flooring or aversion to maintenance. Having wood finished on site has advantages. You can pick the highest quality product that works for your budget. The range of finishes available is quite wide. A professional company will try to understand your home and recommend the appropriate finish. They will also understand how easily the finish was can be renovated in the future. Amtico is an extremely robust product but being plastic, is just plastic flooring. It has its place, as does wood. In areas that have plenty of light surfaces, scratches show very easily on Amtico, Karndean etc. The manufacturers push a polishing maintenance product on consumers. However, this needs to be stripped and reapplied on a regular basis....See MoreFlooring help - Amtico Form Barrel Oak Cotton
Comments (5)Hi Andrew, our supplier quoted for fitting - £37 per sq m (£15 per sq m smoothing compound, £2 per sq m adhesive, £20 per sq m straight lay installation). I would be interested to hear how that compares with what you have been quoted for fitting....See MoreEquivalent to Amtico Spacia?
Comments (3)I’ve copied a link explaining the types of Karndean LVT (if you look under products at the bottom). Karndean offer a lot of glue down floors as you can see and they’re cheaper than Amtico but its worth looking at other ranges too as Karndean tend to be the second most expensive! https://www.karndean.com/en-gb/commercial-flooring/designflooring-ranges https://www.moduleo.com/en-gb/practical/installation...See MoreLou Ella
