At Master Carpets & Flooring in Castlebar, we’ve seen many flooring collections come and go, but few generate the excitement that Amtico First has. This new range makes the craftsmanship and design quality that Amtico is known for more accessible than ever. It’s luxury vinyl made simple, beautifully designed, practical underfoot, and built for real life in Ireland. Each Amtico First plank or tile is crafted with precision, featuring a 0.3 mm wear layer for long-lasting protection and a 2.0 mm total thickness that feels solid yet comfortable. It’s water-resistant, easy to clean, and perfect for every part of the home, from kitchens and hallways to bedrooms and living rooms.
Irish homes demand flooring that stands up to busy life, and Amtico First does exactly that. Whether you’re dealing with muddy shoes in winter or pets racing through the kitchen, the collection’s tough wear layer and Quantum Guard coating keep your floor looking pristine. It’s also suitable for underfloor heating, making it a warm, inviting choice for the Irish climate. Another reason homeowners in Mayo and across Ireland are drawn to Amtico First is its low-maintenance nature. A quick sweep and an occasional mop are all that’s needed to keep it looking new. For families or anyone juggling a busy lifestyle, that easy-care quality makes a real difference.
There’s something undeniably comforting about the look of real timber. With Amtico First Woods, you can bring that warmth and authenticity into your home without worrying about maintenance or cost. Each design captures the natural beauty of wood grain through intricate surface detailing and micro-bevelled edges, creating the same depth and character as solid timber.
Popular styles like Smokehouse Oak, Beached Timber, and Meadow Oak give every room a distinct personality, from contemporary light tones to rich, rustic shades that feel at home in any setting. These planks are soft underfoot, easy to clean, and entirely water-resistant, so you can confidently install them in kitchens, hallways, or open-plan spaces. It’s a floor that brings the timeless appeal of wood into modern Irish living, practical, elegant, and beautifully real.
If you prefer a clean, sophisticated aesthetic, the Amtico First Stones range delivers the elegance of natural stone without the cold, hard surface. Each tile has a smooth ceramic finish that’s soft underfoot yet durable enough to handle high traffic. Designs like Clarence Marble, City Concrete, and Storm Stone strike the perfect balance between modern and classic, offering versatility for both minimal and traditional interiors.
The Stones collection is especially popular for kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways where moisture resistance and durability matter most. Unlike real stone, these tiles are warmer to the touch and much easier to maintain. Whether you’re designing a sleek modern home in Galway or updating a period property in Mayo, the First Stones range brings understated luxury and effortless performance.
For those who love flooring with heritage and pattern, Amtico First Parquet offers a beautifully traditional look reimagined for today’s homes. This collection allows you to enjoy the distinctive herringbone layout of classic parquet floors without the high cost or demanding upkeep. It uses the same durable wood-look planks found in the First Woods range but in a smaller, angled format that creates stunning geometric patterns.
Parquet flooring adds instant character to living spaces, bedrooms, or entryways. Whether you choose lighter tones like Dried Willow or deeper finishes such as Smokehouse Oak, the result is a floor that feels both contemporary and timeless. And because it’s part of the Amtico First collection, you still get the same comfort, durability, and easy maintenance that makes this range perfect for Irish homes.
When you choose Amtico First, you’re choosing flooring that’s made to last. The collection is backed by a 15-year residential warranty, a testament to its quality and reliability. This warranty gives homeowners peace of mind that their investment will continue to look stunning for years to come.
