Amtico White Wash Wood AR0W7680

Amtico White Wash Wood AR0W7680

White Wash Wood is the white floor many of us desire as the neutral backdrop for our own ideas, with none of the sterility and harshness of a solid white. A delicate chalk with a grey-green finish, it is highly adaptable, the ideal partner for Scandinavian style or a smarter metropolitan look.
The overall look gives a soft clean feel with a touch of weathered charm, especially in the specifically designed XL Stripwood size, which truly mimics reclaimed oak boards.

Karndean Parquet Style Flooring

Parquet flooring originated in France around the 16th century, where it was introduced as an easy-care alternative to marble flooring. Today, this beautiful patterned flooring is enjoying a style revival, boosted by the wider interiors trend for vintage finishes and nostalgic decorating. Parquet provides a simply stunning decorative finish, and can be used with borders to create an incredibly dynamic design. It comes in  various patterns; 
one of the most popular is known as Parquet de Versailles, which features wooden planks jointed jigsaw-style within a larger frame - labour intensive but utterly beautiful. A generally less expensive, yet equally eye-catching, option is Herringbone or Chevron style parquet, which is slotted together using tongue and groove edging. Whatever pattern you prefer, there's no doubt parquet is a design winner, and can be used to restore elegance to a period home or create dramatic contrast amid a more contemporary setting. For a naturally hard- wearing floor, check out the parquet designs in Karndean's Art Select Woods collection

Can Amtico be laid in a sun room or consevatory?

Yes, but because the tile will experience extremes of temperature, Amtico HT Adhesive must be used.

Tiles must be acclimatised to room temperature before installation and then maintained at a constant temperature while the adhesive cures, which will take several hours. It may be necessary to protect the room from direct sunlight by attaching card or paper to the windows.

What is Amtico made from?

Amtico floor tiles are made from resin compounded with high quality plasticizers and stabilizers, all compressed under pressure and temperature. Many tiles closely resemble natural products, these are made from specially printed films sandwiched between a wear layer and a backing. Some tiles are engineered to have a specific emboss or a metallic appearance. Many of these manufacturing methods have been developed by and are unique to Amtico. All Amtico tiles have: - a non-porous construction - long-lasting durability - excellent appearance retention - authenticity of colours and patterns - resilience for underfoot comfort - exceptional colour-fastness - beautiful looks which are easy to maintain.

Amtico -Ideal for Children

If you're planning a nursery or childrens play room, Amtico is the ideal choice for flooring. With so much to think about, you don't want to be worrying about whether you've chosen the right thing.

Firstly, Amtico is easy to clean. It's no problem to keep it spotless, even with the odd spill here and there. While carpets may be your first thought, over time you may wish you'd gone for a more practical solution.

Dust won't collect and a quick wipe over with a damp mop is virtually all you need to do to maintain the floor. Amtico is kind on little hands, knees and feet, and resistant to the stains and marks that are inevitable.

Amtico have a super range of colours to match design schemes, from pretty pastels to bold brights. Our borders can complement any of the main products, and some are particularly designed with small rooms in mind.

Amtico installation

The installation of Amtico is straightforward and follows the same guidelines that apply to all quality resilient tile floors. Good preparation is essential for a trouble-free installation. Amtico can be laid on concrete, timber, stone and many other sub-floors, which have been suitably prepared. Site conditions must comply with the relevant national regulations.

Amtico is not suitable for external installation or unheated locations but it can be used with under-fl oor heating providing it is switched off for 48 hours before and after laying (the maximum permitted surface temperature is 27°C/81°F). We recommend that the installed floor should not be allowed to cool below 13°C during its service life.

Tiles, adhesive and sub-floor must be allowed to stabilise to a consistent temperature between 18°C and 27°C (64°F and 81°F) for a period of 24 hours before and after installation. Tiles must be stored flat.

Following installation, Amtico should be protected from heavy traffic for 24 hours and must not be washed for 48 hours. Always follow other manufacturers’ recommendations when using their proprietary materials for sub-floor preparation.
