Armstrong
Floor Products: AFP is a worldwide leader in the
manufacture and marketing of residential and commercial floor
products. Armstrong and its family of brands -- Armstrong
Bruce®, Hartco® and Robbins® -- offer the most extensive
portfolio of flooring products available. With targeted
products for both residential and commercial applications,
our portfolio includes resilient sheet and tile, hardwood,
laminates, Genuine Linoleum™, specialty carpet and sports
flooring. In 2003, the Armstrong Ceramic line is being launched
in the U.S. and Canada to enter the rapidly growing ceramics
market. ToughGuard™ vinyl sheet flooring, introduced
by Armstrong in 2000 and manufactured with a new process
that dramatically improves the durability of residential
sheet vinyl, continues gaining market share and has raised
the industry standard for resilient flooring performance. ArmaLock™ and
SwiftLock™ locking laminates, floors that are installed without
glue, are also big with “do it yourself” consumers. Genuine
Linoleum, the original “classic resilient floor, now considered
a “green” flooring product, is making a comeback in the U.S.
as architects and designers – as well as homeowners – require
more environmentally friendly building materials that don’t
sacrifice color vibrancy and design. After more than
a century, Armstrong remains the foremost name in flooring
-- known and trusted for reliable quality, an expansive offering
of colors and designs to meet the personal style of all customers
and technological innovations that make lives easier. Armstrong.
Your ideas become reality™.
