Embrace nature’s imperfections with Amtico Form
Carefully divided into four Wood palettes – Warm, Neutral, Cool and Saltus – the collection has been enhanced with 18 new hand-crafted oak designs that reflect evolving trends in the real wood market, with more sophisticated, high-grade aesthetics featuring distinctive knots and cracks.

The new Saltus Oaks shine a light on nature’s imperfections and provide the natural character and genuine charm of oak. From Scandi-inspired tones to richer, oiled hues, the four Saltus Oaks offer a spectrum of captivating options for commercial spaces. Each plank showcases prominent knots, distinct cracks and a robust grain for organic authenticity that will create inviting spaces and shape the mood.
By studying the intricacies of natural wood and stone, Amtico’s in-house designers created Form’s tones and textures to reflect the patterns formed by grain and weathering. All 18 new oaks can be used with Form’s five carefully chosen Wood laying patterns that elegantly highlight realistic timber details. Joining Form is Broad Weave, a new laying pattern with a larger scale design, which provides a beautiful wood pattern solution for larger commercial spaces.

Also joining Form are two contemporary Stones: Ammonite offers fresh cream tones and a subtle warmth without a yellow feel, and Char provides edgy contrast with intricacies and details found in slate. Form’s Stones have a smooth surface texture, close to fine ceramic, which creates a clean, authentic appearance for a natural-looking finish. Unlike natural stones that can be difficult to work with, all six natural-looking Form Stones shades can be specified in Small or Large Parquet and the new Pavestone laying pattern to create impact.
In 2024, Amtico celebrates 60 years of British manufacturing and flooring expertise. The Form collection is designed and made in Coventry to bring the warmth and character of real wood and the lasting impact of timeless stone to commercial interiors, whether education, healthcare, hotels or offices. It boasts a 12-year commercial warranty to stand up to everyday wear and tear, even in heavy commercial environments, and a 0.7mm wear layer for higher durability, producing a strikingly natural floor that stands the test of time and adapts to the demands of any environment.

The collection also features antimicrobial protection against bacteria and viruses throughout the usable lifetime of the floor and it is available to specify with Amtico Bio – the manufacturer’s first bio-attributed LVT flooring. Using sustainable PVC that produces over 90 per cent less CO2 during its manufacture, Amtico Bio offers the same performance and finish as standard LVT planks and tiles but with a reduced carbon footprint.
