Armstrong

2002 marks Armstrong's 142nd anniversary, few American business enterprises have endured as long, or with such a continuing success. Armstrong began as a tiny two-man cork-cutting shop in 1860, in Pittsburgh, by Tom Armstrong, the son of ordinary Scotch-Irish immigrants from Londonderry. The company let one product logically lead to another. Corkboard led to fiberboard, fiberboard led to ceiling board, cork tile and linoleum led to vinyl floors.

Vinyl is clearly the most versatile flooring option available. There are literally hundreds of styles and colors to choose from, and pricing options that make vinyl workable for most any budget. Vinyl floors are known for their easy care and cleaning, and are generally wear-resistant, which makes them a sensible choice for the kitchen and bath, or any other room in your home. They're also resilient. They "give" when you walk on them, which creates a soft, comfortable feel underfoot, and also reduces the chances of plates and glasses breaking when dropped.

Sizes
You can choose from sheet vinyl, which comes in 6 and 12 foot roll widths and in almost any length, or from vinyl tiles, which depending upon the manufacturer, may be available in 9, 12, 14, 16 or 18 inch squares.

Materials
There are two basic types of vinyl materials you should know about as well. The majority of vinyl floors literally have a photographic image that is printed on the material and protected by a wear layer. The other type is vinyl with Inlaid ColorTM, which is an exclusive to Armstrong. Vinyl with Inlaid Color is built from the backing up, and involves the layering of millions of vinyl color granules, on top of one another, through hand-cut stencils. The result is a handcrafted look of extraordinary depth and richness of color.
