Inside the factory: visionary vinyl with Amtico
A surprisingly attractive entrance at the Amtico factory shows off the team’s mastery of design as on first glance the LVT we walk across fools everyone into thinking it’s porcelain. Zoned areas offer an example of how different ranges can divide and separate areas whilst sitting perfectly in harmony, while a custom-cut LVT world map shows the versatility of Amtico’s products.
Amtico was founded by former chemist John Harris in 1964. Coventry was the birthplace of the business, but pretty quickly spread into Europe and the US – opening factories, testing new ideas, and constantly pushing the flooring game forward. The team has always been big on innovation, like making PVC-free options in the ’90s, and later creating easy-to-fit ranges that didn’t need glue.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
