Does all Karndean and Amtico flooring come as tiles or a roll?

Possibly a numpty question but can anyone tell me?

I'm looking to lay vinyl on 2 bathroom floors but something a bit nicer in the kitchen. The bloke in the shop (Peter Green's, Captain Peacock territory!) made it clear the tiles of the Spacia (presumably Amtico?) range would cost MUCH more to lay than vinyl and I'd wait 3 months for a layer!

Amitico comes either a tiles or as strips.
Don't know why it should be a 3 month wait to have it fitted. Our local shop fitted it within 2 weeks.
My advice would be to try elsewhere.

It will cost a lot more but then it'll look a lot better too, no idea about the wait though i was never given the impression it would be three months although we ended up with Rhino lino instead.

I have Amtico. It came as tiles but you can also get it in strips too. Depends if you go for the wood or tiled look.

My fitter was good. We did have to wait for him but only a couple of weeks. I can recommend him if you are interested? We live in South East.

Karndean comes as strips or tiles - we had ours fitted two weeks after we ordered it, so no big delay.

Don't know how much vinyl costs to lay, but having Karndean put down in 4 rooms (sitting, dining, hall, kitchen) cost just over 500 quid, and it's a lot of flooring

CMOT Dibbler - just hijacking this thread but as we are considering Karndean or Amtico for our kitchen at the moment was just wondering if your £500 covered tiles and fitting or just fitting??? Prefer the Amtico designs but not sure we can afford it - or the fitting!

That was just the fitting - the various materials were 1k - but this was the entire downstairs of our house, so was actually cheaper than recarpeting

Blimey that sounds a great deal CMOT we were quoted double that for the kitchen and bathroom.

The quotes did range quite a bit - well worth getting a few people in to quote. Does also depend on how much preparation they will have to do to the floor surface - our house is 13 years old with a concrete floor, so it just needed a coat of self leveller, but sometimes they have to grind the floor down and that is more costly
