AMTICO FLOORING “As the restaurant floor could not be raised, there were limitations with the flooring selection; to visually separate the space it was essential the new flooring complemented and aligned with adjoining areas. The diversity of Amtico’s designs led us to create a bespoke up-scaled look that is contemporary, fresh and airy and, importantly, in keeping with the overall character of the property.” Robert Kerbey, owner and director of LRK Flooring Systems Ltd, the company behind the installation, adds: “We have worked with Amtico before during many commercial installations, ranging from restaurants to nightclubs. For this project, the flooring design consisted of three different colours, which were laid to create a tartan- effect pattern. Amtico provided excellent instructions but it was vital that the first few lines of tiles were carefully laid and that the lines did not veer off, otherwise the pattern would not have been achieved. We would definitely use Amtico again; we prefer fitting Amtico to any other LVT.” Products: Gingham, from Amtico Designers’ Choice collection, consisting of ‘Graphite Slate’, ‘Kura Caraway’ and ‘Basilica Salt’ laid in a check pattern.
