Armstrong Raises Prices for Flooring
August 05, 2008

Lancaster, Pa.-based Armstrong plans to raise prices as high as 10 percent in some categories, beginning this fall, according to Hfnmag.com. "Despite two increases this year, [the company has] been unable to recover dramatic raw material increases, particularly in PVC resins, plasticizers and melamine," said Paul Murfin, vice president of sales for the company. Murfin added that increases in energy and transportation costs have also impacted the company. According to Hfnmag.com, all products will be affected, including vinyl composition tile, commercial sheet vinyl, commercial wallbase, linoleum, residential sheet and tile, luxury vinyl tile, select laminate products, adhesives and floor-care products.
