AMTICO MAKES A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO
HARROGATE Amtico staged a successful return to this year’s Harrogate Flooring Show, with an exclusive preview of their new designs.
Garnering huge amounts of praise, the stand and new products were greatly received by the 3,000+ visitors in attendance, with a record number of POS stands sold during the event.
Commenting on the show, Richard Harris, F. Ball Marketing Manager, said: “The Flooring Show has been a tremendous success this year. It was great to talk to people in the flooring industry, including manufacturers, contractors and retailers. It also gave us an opportunity to thank our customers for their continued support, including those who voted for the Styccobond range to win the adhesives category at this year’s CFA awards.
"Excitingly, we launched a smaller, innovatively packaged version of Styccobond F49 Hybrid PS. This is ideal for contractors who are installing flooring accessories on vertical
The stand design showcased the Amtico’s product versatility and suitability for a number of flooring needs within the home, with products displayed in roomsets. The kitchen featured new laying patterns from the brands flagship Designers Choice collection, including Castel Weave, French Weave and Muralist, whilst the bedroom and bathroom featured Amtico’s recently launched Form. The hallway was designed to create a lasting first impression, with the
surfaces, such as skirting, coving and capping, providing an alternative to traditional contact adhesives.”
The packaging for the new 500g Handy Pack features both components of the adhesive contained in a plastic pouch, separated by a secure, but easily removable clip. Once the clip is removed the adhesive can be easily mixed before the pouch is opened. A red pigment in one part of the adhesive provides a simple, visible indication of when the product is suitably mixed, as it will then have a uniform, streak-free, pink colouration.
The pressure sensitive nature of the adhesive allows it to continue to build up strength following initial application and, when fully cured, it develops an extremely high bond strength, that is able to maintain its performance even when exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations (as low as -20°c and up to +60°c). The adhesive is also suitable for use over normal underfloor heating systems.

striking Corona Mono design from Amtico Décor chosen to demonstrate what can be achieved with LVT.
The highlight of the stand was the preview of Amtico’s new Spacia designs. 12 new Woods, 4 new Stones and 13 new Abstracts were displayed on a magnificent new Spacia POS stand, which will be seen in retailers from January.
Demonstrating the company’s commitment to nurturing British design and manufacturing talent, combined with a long history of creating beautifully functional flooring, Amtico’s stand showcased why they are one of the UKs favorites flooring companies.
Head of UK Residential Sales & UK Sales Operations, Danny Hugo, said: “We are incredibly proud of the new collections that the Amtico team have developed, and the Harrogate Flooring Show was the ideal place to launch. We have been overwhelmed with the response so far, and we are sure the new Spacia collection in particular will be a huge success.”
