Armstrong to Launch Two Collections at NeoCon

Lancaster, PA, April 10, 2006--Armstrong Commercial Flooring premiers two new collections of ceramic and hardwood visuals to its Natural Creations Luxury Vinyl Tile line at NeoCon in designs that reflect current and ascending trends. Natural Creations is a breakout line, with designs that embrace contemporary interiors. Each design has been created using research, guidance and feedback from customers in key markets, including retail, healthcare, education and hospitality. Earthcuts is a collection of stone visuals including slate, limestone and granite with a texture found in natural stone; Mystix is a trend-driven designer collection of seven visuals in 25 colors including strip bamboo in natural tones and natural bamboo in playful primary colors; and, the newly named ArborArt collection (formerly the Woods collection) features realistic wood visuals. Together they create a comprehensive line of luxury vinyl tile that is integrated and interchangeable. All have embossing textures that reflect the surface of natural materials and the realistic look of wood or stone at a fraction of the cost. The three new collections enable designers to maximize their floor designs by either creating designs within each of the three lines or by integrating visuals, colors and patterns from each. The modularity and sizes of the planks and tiles allow for virtually endless design options…tiles can be wrapped with planks, and different size tiles that can be mixed or matched. All three collections have a 20-mil wear layer and UV-cured urethane coating that offers low maintenance options. In addition, the new LVT is color coordinated across all Armstrong lines, including gauge compatibility with Armstrong’s vast vinyl composition tile (VCT) collection.
