AMTICO WEAVES A LITTLE MAGIC

Amtico International has fused together complex metallics and contrasting hard and soft materials to create Fiber; a smooth flooring tile that encapsulates real woven fabric.

Two years in the making, this innovative new addition to the Amtico collection gives the appearance of a textile, but with a soft, clean finish and the easy maintenance you can expect from Amtico.

Available in four colourways, Fiber's two tone threads create natural variation and movement to give any room setting a burnished gleam and feeling of structured softness.

The choice of Fiber Gold (a bronze lowlight that says glamour not glitz), Fiber Carbon (a charcoal twist that features bronze and chocolate tones), Fiber Mercury (a soft mixture of warm silver and pale bronze) and Fiber Bronze (a strong and vibrant coppery twist) lets home owners create a comfortable, yet elegant look.

Sian Lewis, UK Marketing Manager for Amtico International, said: “Fiber perfectly reflects the trend towards soft textiles with woven fabrics. Great for use in large open living spaces, the way the light dips in and out of the weave is clearly showcased when laid with metallic feature stripping and tessellated in simple squares.”

The XL range features an array of contemporary, sophisticated flooring, which seeks to add elegance and richness to interior spaces.

In developing its new products, the Amtico design team, which works to identify new interior trends, noted that UK customers are looking for large format flooring solutions that are considered excellent for open plan areas and commercial installations.

XL, taken from the Amtico range of woods, stones and abstract features strong lines, dark tones and innovative designs which provide a dramatic platform on which to build and create a unique interior design.

“The XL range which includes Back to Black Vamp, Brazilian Rosewood and Cumbrian Slate to name a few, offers the perfect solution to commercial customers looking to add a sense of sophistication to their interior design,” Sian concludes.

AMTICO INTERNATIONAL SHOWS OFF ITS STYLE

When the time came for Leeds University to refurbish part of the flooring at its bustling city campus, they turned to inspirational flooring company Amtico International for a high quality solution.

Located in the heart of the vibrant city centre, Leeds University’s main campus is a mix of traditional architecture and contemporary buildings. With over 33,000 full time students, the university is one of the largest in the UK.

It was imperative that any new flooring was extremely durable to be able to withstand heavy and continual foot flow over a long period of time. But the product must also fit in with the tone of the buildings, being both appealing to students and reflecting the academic stature of the institution.

Kay Swithenbank, the interior designer at Leeds University, identified Amtico as a hard wearing and long lasting solution that could also be used to create striking looks.

“Amtico stands out and has an edge over its competitors because their products look so natural and not ‘plasticy’ like other ranges.

“Appearance retention and durability are also equally as important. Flooring at the university has to stand up to day-to-day wear caused by hundreds of people walking over it each day.

“We needed a product that could not only withstand this, but also still look good after some time.”

Working alongside Kay, Amtico International supplied and fitted a variety of products from their extensive collection to re-floor a large area of the campus.

A busy reception area was given an inviting, authentic and airy new look using Honed Limestone Natural from the Amtico Essential collection, whilst the stairs were brightened up with Fused Birch. To contrast with this light coloured wood, deep and sumptuous Rosewood was used in an adjacent café area to create a clearly marked out area that complemented the modern design of the surroundings.

A separate reception area was given a clean and contemporary facelift with Blonde Oak.

The final part of the project was flooring the new, tropical themed café Maia. Rosewood was again selected for this, for its warm, timeless look that added to the lush décor of the new space.

“We were absolutely thrilled with the results,” added Kay. “The new flooring looked fantastic and the service from Amtico was excellent.”
