April, 2009 -- Armstrong has expanded its top-selling line of Grand Illusions™ premium laminate flooring with the addition of domestic exotic visuals, offering consumers beautiful North American species suited for every décor. A versatile palette of colors in the most popular hardwood species are offered in 5" individual board widths that mimic actual installed hardwood.
The new collection offers a subtle gloss level as compared with existing Grand Illusions tropical exotic products, reflecting the fine finish options popularized by domestic hardwoods. Subtle color variations, distinctive grain and authentic texture combine to induce dramatic beauty and sophistication. This luxurious selection includes a carefully-selected line of traditional species visual options including Canadian Maple, Southern Hickory, Eastern Oak, American Apple and Heartwood Walnut.
Armstrong's Laminate Wood Flooring in Heartwood Walnut
Each carefully crafted plank utilizes the patented Lock&Fold® installation system, making installation faster and easier than other laminate flooring. With Lock&Fold the panels do not have to be tapped together; simply fit the tongue-and-groove panels together, fold them down and lock them into place. Installation time is reduced an average of 30%— reducing installation materials expense, too.
Armstrong's Hydra-Core™ Plus high performance core with color-coordinated edges looks like solid wood but offers enhanced moisture protection all around. Plus, unlike natural wood, it requires no acclimation.
An anti-bacterial surface provides resistance to mold, bacteria and fungus. Patented MasterWorks Technology® with VTx™ makes the realistic, clear and vibrant floor designs possible.
The new collection is now available at flooring retailers nationwide. For general information, to order samples or to locate an Armstrong dealer in your area, visit Armstrong Laminate
