We have ‘luxury’ vinyl down. It seems durable and easy to care for. You could always look for linoleum, which is still available.

Amtico is just a trade name for LVT, like Karndean.

Compare specifications and product guarantees.

Yes, it does but I'm wondering whether it maybe isn't as good as it used to be.

We had Amtico about 18 months ago from an independent shop - does it not still exist?

I'm looking for some good flooring for a bedroom. Not carpet - I only have to look at it, and a dirty mark appears.

We've just had our kitchen renovated and chose LVT tiling. It's only been down 3 weeks and has scratched already.

We used to have Amtico in our previous house which was generally very good. But now Amtico seems to have been bundled into "LVT" and I'm wary of it. Has it been dumbed down or is it still as good as it used to be?

Talking to flooring sales people is hopeless. I've just asked one for their opinion of the type of LVT I am disappointed in, and she recommended it - said it was just as good as Amtico!

Any advice? Or am I overthinking?
