Armstrong to Increase Wood Flooring Price Again on July 15

For the fourth time since October 2012, 10 percent price increase went into effect May 13.

"The cost of lumber continues to rise due to the demand for wood sharply increasing and the supply lagging behind as sawmills slowly come on line," said Kevin Biedermann, senior vice president of Armstrong Residential Floor Products, in a statement. "We are doing everything we can to compensate, but unfortunately we must initiate a price increase. We truly understand how difficult it is to pass along price increases to your customers."
