As the title says. Why do you 'push' a certain product? is it because one is cheaper than the other? is it because one is easier to fit than another? Is it down to you have been told that one is better than the other? No Bull Crap, whats the real reason?
I use amtico spacia because of the amtico name and it has pu coating. Or Karndean cause have for years an customers see it everywhere in carpet shops etc. But doin a lg next week so looking forward to it and hopefully be pushing them over next few years. Price is amazing for strong wear layers. I really just want a product that's isn't made in china and I can trust.
i push polyflor quite hard at the mo (its on special!) lol Cost is the biggest factor for me, how much i can push it to the customers for.. That said. Karndean is my fav (cept the knight tile :lol: ) Always looking for alternatives without sacrificing quality The LG stuff is pretty damn good on the technical side, needs more marking to cut than say the karndean or amtico. But still rates good
Spacia is made in china mate. And to be fair others big name manufactures are following the trend. Im sure you all have noticed the difference in the last 2 years?
Karndean Van Gogh, Oak Royale, Hand Crafted, Spacia XL or any other large format tile,supply & fit .....and a large open space to cover. I think you know why.
I do both but the supply/fit getting bigger. I would elaborate but I'm not comfortable doing that in open forum.
Ive always tried to talk people into Amtico spacia because I think it looks better than most the other lvts. Im bit fed up not having decent samples and trying to get good prices for it though. Ive started doin more Camaro and Im trying a new one called tru forrest/tru mineral. My mates shop does distinctive life tiles and they are really good, the planks are cut perfectly. the grout/stripping looks a bit naff tho compared to amtico. Im not a fan of Karndean like most people seem to be
yeah, fitted loads of the stuff. very hard wearing and authentic looking. Bit of a mess grouting though.
I tried to get info and samples from them a couple of years ago for my mate's shop.....no help whatsoever. Looks a good product. I wonder how scratch resistant it is.
Yeah thats its only down side the grouting, I find spraying the surface of the tiles with a sprayer bottle with water just a light misting helps and only grout a row at a time and buff off.
