Armstrong World Industries (Lancaster, Pa.) recently said it will initiate a 3-10 percent price increase on its installation, maintenance and accessories products for its Armstrong and Bruce wood flooring lines. Prices for actual wood flooring are currently unaffected.
Included in the price increase are adhesive, underlayment and floor maintenance products. The price increases will begin with shipments on Jan. 23.
"Despite cost reduction initiatives, a few items in this category have been impacted by the extreme escalation of raw material costs," said Michele Zelman, public relations for Armstrong.
The move corresponds with price increases on Armstrong's residential luxury vinyl tile, laminate, residential sheet and tile, select commercial sheet products, and commercial vinyl composition tile.
