Quick Answer
Amtico flooring costs roughly 40 to 90 GBP per square metre supply only and 70 to 160 GBP per square metre fully fitted in the UK in 2026. Entry-level Amtico Click Smart starts around 40 GBP per square metre; Amtico Signature and Spacia sit in the 60 to 80 GBP range; Designers Choice and Marine ranges run 85 to 95 GBP.
It is manufactured in Coventry, England, with a 20-year residential warranty, which is the main reason it costs roughly twice as much as supermarket LVT.
Price by Range
- Amtico Click Smart (DIY-friendly click LVT): 40 to 50 GBP per square metre.
- Amtico Spacia: 45 to 55 GBP per square metre.
- Amtico Signature: 60 to 80 GBP per square metre.
- Amtico Form (wider planks, deep emboss): 70 to 85 GBP per square metre.
- Amtico Designers Choice / bespoke: 85 to 95 GBP per square metre.
Fitting Costs
Glue-down Amtico (Signature, Spacia, Form, Designers Choice) needs a professional installer because it is bonded to a smoothed subfloor with two-part flooring adhesive. UK fitters typically charge 18 to 35 GBP per square metre to lay it, plus 10 to 25 GBP per square metre for latex screed if the subfloor needs levelling.
Click Smart can be DIY: the planks lock together without glue, and a competent DIYer can lay 20 square metres in a weekend.
What Drives the Price
- Wear layer thickness: 0.7 mm in Signature, 1.0 mm in commercial ranges.
- Design complexity: herringbone, parquet, and stripping layouts cost 15 to 30 percent more than plain plank.
- Adhesive vs underlay: glue-down lasts longer; click is faster but slightly noisier underfoot.
- Pattern matching: stone and marble looks need 10 percent extra material for matching joins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the answer change for tenants vs owners?
Yes. Tenants almost never see the same financing, removal, or warranty terms an owner gets. Most retailers will only sell to whoever is on title or has written landlord permission.
Is the price quoted in pounds the same in dollars?
No. UK and US flooring markets price differently: the UK quotes per square metre with VAT, the US quotes per square foot pre-tax. Multiply UK per metre by roughly 0.093 to compare per square foot.
Will the answer change in five years?
Probably. Tax thresholds, retailer line-ups, and warranty terms shift every year. Always confirm with the source before signing a contract.
Does the same apply for commercial buildings?
Mostly no. Commercial flooring carries different fire ratings, slip ratings, and depreciation treatment than residential. Anything you read here assumes a typical owner-occupied home unless stated otherwise.
Pro Tips
- Get the quote in writing. Verbal estimates from any retailer or contractor are worth nothing when disputes happen.
- Keep your receipts and lot numbers for at least the length of the warranty. Most claims are denied because the buyer cannot prove what was bought.
- Read the financing small print. Most "interest free" offers carry deferred interest, which means full retroactive interest if you miss the payoff date by one day.
- Ask about disposal fees up front. Removal of the old floor can add 1 to 3 dollars per square foot if not bundled.
Bottom Line
The right answer here depends on your home, your budget, and your local market. Use the numbers as a starting point, get at least two written quotes, and never sign on a contractor's clipboard at the door without 24 hours to read the contract.
How Much Amtico Flooring Will I Need to Buy?
Order 10 percent extra for plank layouts, 15 percent for parquet or herringbone, and 20 percent for stripping or border designs. Amtico ships in cartons of roughly 3.34 square metres for Signature and 2.23 square metres for Spacia. Round up to the next full carton: you cannot return part-cartons once opened.
Lifespan and Warranty
Amtico Signature and Spacia carry a 20-year residential warranty and a 10-year light commercial warranty. With a damp microfibre mop and a pH-neutral cleaner the floor will look new for 15 years and still be serviceable for 25. The wear layer is what fails first; once it goes (around year 18 to 22), the print layer below it starts to scuff.
How to Compare Quotes Without Getting Burned
Get at least three written quotes broken out line by line: material per square foot, labour per square foot, removal of old floor, subfloor prep, baseboard handling, toilet pull, disposal fees, and warranty terms. A "total job" number from a single contractor tells you nothing about where the money is going, and you cannot compare it to anyone else.
Walk every quote against the others using the same measurements. Use the contractor's own square footage, not a guess, because room squareness varies. If one contractor's square footage is 15 percent higher than the others, ask why before signing.
Questions Most Homeowners Forget to Ask
Who is on the crew?
The salesperson rarely lays the floor. Ask for the lead installer's name and years of experience.
Is the install warranty written and transferable?
Most chain installers give a one-year labour warranty; specialist independents often give five.
What happens if my baseboards crack during pull?
Get the replacement policy in the contract, not in conversation.
How is moisture in the subfloor tested?
Concrete should be tested with a calcium chloride or relative humidity probe, not eyeballed.
What is the lead time on the planks I picked?
Special-order colours often run 4 to 8 weeks.
