Amtico launches tile inspired by Britain’s cultural architecture

As part of the 2019 expansion of its popular Signature collection of Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT), Amtico has launched ‘Modernist’, a design inspired by the brutalist architecture seen around future UK City of Culture, Coventry.

‘Modernist’ was developed by Amtico’s in-house design team following two years of research into the brutalist architecture in the city of Coventry, UK, which has been home to Amtico for more than 50 years.

The design’s texture is inspired by light patterns on concrete, with tonal shifts giving way to soft angles and a multitude of layers, which playfully mirrors the layered composition of LVT.

The design is available in five softly-toned colourways: Atrium, Frame, Lintel, Spire, and Vault.

As part of the Signature collection, ‘Modernist’ boasts a 1mm wear layer, the thickest wear layer of any LVT on the market.

The collection, which carries a 20-year commercial warranty and an A+ BREEAM accreditation, is also available with an optional Amitco Acoustic backing layer, which dampens noise transference by up to 18dB.
