CRAFTED WITH AN EYE FOR DETAIL

You tried seven samples before choosing the perfect shade of yellow for your bedroom walls. It took

years of scouring antique shops across three states to find the lamp that tops your great-grandmother’s

vanity. It’s those little things that make your home yours. From furniture to fabrics to floors, you take

every detail into consideration.

Armstrong shares your eye for detail. It’s a

perspective we’ve held for over a century. We

hardwood floors. Our team of product designers

searches the worlds of art and fashion to find

inspiration in colors, finishes, and textures. We select

the finest wood species from responsible sources

that share our commitment to the environment,

and our precision manufacturing ensures reliable,

consistent quality floors that last a lifetime.

The result is a hardwood floor that has been crafted

with the same consideration and attention to detail

you put into every room of your home. A floor that

stands up to our exacting standards – and more

importantly, yours.

A CLOSER LOOK AT EXOTIC FUSION™

Nature has always been a source of inspiration. But now, the desire to preserve and protect our

natural resources has inspired a whole new world of innovative

design. Exotic Fusion is one such innovation, fulfilling the desire to

create new and exciting hardwood designs without depleting the

world’s rarest and most beautiful tropical forests.

8

BIRCH | Cypress GroveEEF5301

Exotic hardwood species are prized for their unique

character, striking grain patterns and depth of natural

color. To capture this look, Armstrong began with

four abundant domestic species known for their

exceptional graining: maple, mountain elm, ash and birch.

Individual boards are selected with special attention to

the character of the grain. A special thermal treatment

process caramelizes the wood, producing rich colors and

distinctive grain effects remarkably similar to exotic woods.

The time and temperature are precisely controlled

for each species, as a range of extraordinary shades

and effects can be achieved simply by adjusting these

variables. No stains are necessary. The thermal process

colors the entire plank. The smooth surface and dramatic

details of Exotic Fusion™ are at home in a wide range

of settings, from transitional to contemporary to global

designs. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who demands

the new and exciting, but wants to do so responsibly.

A CLOSER LOOK AT BARREL CREEK™

It began in the rolling hills of Napa Valley. At the intersection of wine country and ecological ingenuity, interior designers

found a new way to reuse wine barrels. The reclaimed oak became furniture,

home accessories, and truly unique hardwood floors. The look is a strikingly

original interpretation of vintage style.

12

SBC2100

Armstrong was inspired by this extraordinary style

and have made it more widely available. We begin with

solid 2-1/4˝ strips of premium rift and quartered oak

– the same material coopers use to make fine wine

barrels. We have painstakingly reconstructed every

detail of the original barrel floors, complete with

Vintner’s marks burned into random strips and authentic

cooperage stamps. We apply a deep color wash to

enhance the grain and give the wood an aged appearance.

This interplay between color and texture make

Barrel Creek™ a three-dimensional sensory experience.

Finally, the floor receives our highest quality urethane

finish to protect its unique look. Whether you are

a wine aficionado, a vintage design enthusiast, or just

love truly original home décor, Barrel Creek is a

unique way to bring a touch of wine country

ambiance into your home.
