Review of Amtico
Advantages: Looks very nice Disadvantages: Ripples at seams, chips where chars set.
...but the installer recommended the Quick Step. He told her it was better flooring.
When he finished it was absolutly beautiful. It looked much more natural than the Pergo" my brother put in his place. She realy like the ease of care and she keeps her home spotless. After about 10-11 months it started to chip under her chair at the kitchen table. Then it stated to ripple at the seams. So we called the installer and he looked at it. He said he had ... ...his supplier look at it. It was tough to get him out there but he finaly came.
First he said that she must have gotten the floor wet.
Next he said that the house was improperly built and that the floor flexed to much.
then he said that it was improperly installed.
Then he said that her cat had caused it.
Ok , She used the recommended cleaner, she NEVER wet mopped the floor.
as for floor flex, no it's no more than any other floor, Oh yeah this ...
Advantages: Cheap, nice appearance. Disadvantages: Some boards not cut perfectly straight so tricky to fit.
Easi-loc by name but not easi-loc by nature! The first two rows went down easily but trouble started on row 3. The problem was that not all the boards are cut entirely straight, which meant it was very difficult for adjacent rows to fit properly (some were very slightly convex and some very slightly concave). Over the whole floor, this caused slight gaps in either the middle or one of the ends to occur, and made it very difficult to get the boards ... ...whose facing edge would match the previous one (judging by eye). Also a lot of brute force to shove them together!
Fortunately, we had bought more boards than needed so we were able to select the best fit for each row.
If you buy this product, make sure you buy at least one or two spare packs.
All in all, a small room (8 x 11 ft) took two people nearly a whole weekend, but now it's down, it looks and feels fine. ...
