Citing raw material costs, Armstrong said it will raise
prices on select Armstrong and Bruce hardwood flooring products effective
immediately. According to the company, the decision was announced in a letter
to distributors recently.
“Increases in raw materials, transportation, and
surging prices for oil and natural gas have necessitated this increase,” said
Paul Murfin, vp, sales.
Armstrong is the third
manufacturer in recent weeks to announce a price increase on hardwood flooring.
Recently, Mannington Mills and Mohawk also said they would raise prices.
