adventures.
The interior design of any ship is the
cornerstone of the onboard experience. And
when every space, from cabin to ballroom, has
a bespoke look and feel, a vessel becomes a
high-end resort, not just a mode of transport.
The Amtico Marine collection is aimed at
specifiers who are creating individual-level
experiences and realising these personal
touches at scale. Giving form to a vessel’s
brand experience while delivering quality
and service rooted in a deep understanding
of the realities of shipbuilding.

Complete safety.
Incredible performance, made to last. Officially accredited
and rigorously tested, this collection is specifically
created to deliver optimum performance and safety.

Antimicrobial Specify Amtico Bio

Any offshore locations, from oil rigs to luxury liners, are
perfect grounds for bacteria to survive and multiply, due to
people carrying out group activities in very close proximity.

So we have added our high-performance antimicrobial protection

to the Amtico Marine collection. The ionic silver additive provides
a hygienic surface where bacteria cannot multiply or survive.

Under independent tests this active ingredient has been

proven to reduce bacteria present by > 99.99% over 24 hours.

This means Amtico Marine provides an extra layer of defence

between cleanings and gives customers increased peace of mind.

Warm Teak - Herringbone

Independently verified against E.Coli and MRSA, to ISO

22196, showing a reduction of >99.9% after 24hrs. Also
tested against SARS-CoV-2, to ISO 21702, showing an 85.5%
reduction against an untreated control and a reduction
of >99.9% against the initial inoculation after 24hrs. Now available across the Marine collection, Amtico Bio is
our first bio-attributed LVT flooring.
Bio-attributed PVC, from renewable biomass sources, saves over
90% of the CO2 during its manufacture compared to PVC made
from fossil fuels. Amtico Bio uses bio-attributed PVC, offering the
same performance and finish with a reduced carbon footprint.
