Armstrong Announces Price Increase on Solid Hardwood Flooring
“Since the announcement of our last price modification, lumber and energy prices have continued to rise. Early signs of a recovery in housing are putting continued volume pressures on saw mills. The cost impact on solid hardwood flooring is clearly visible through the price on commodities such as unfinished strip, which has increased 20% in the last 60 days. Armstrong’s continued focus on productivity and overhead reduction allows us to protect our customers from the full severity of raw material increases,” commented Daniel Call, vice president, Wood Product Management.
