Laminate Flooring / Hardwood Flooring / Vinyl Flooring
Our products include two important elements you won’t see on the surface:
TRUST &
integrity When he founded his company in 1860, Thomas Armstrong would not have envisaged an international leader in its field with an unbroken line of product development and innovation spanning 150 years.
A pioneering entrepreneur with strong principles, he founded his business on trust and integrity; he realised his people and his customers were the reasons his business existed and he replaced the old way of doing business: ‘Caveat emptor’ – ‘Let the buyer beware’ – with his own business philosophy: ‘Let the buyer have faith’. Today, Armstrong has a global manufacturing footprint and is the only Australian producer of resilient vinyl sheet and tile, with two plants and a skilled workforce of nearly 200. We have won numerous environmental awards through our commitment to sustainable manufacturing, and our flooring solutions are characterised by their natural beauty and exceptional durability – and, true to the principles of Thomas Armstrong, they are backed by the industry’s most comprehensive customer service and warranties.

TIMBER inspirations A superb authentic-looking floor…and a lot more. One look at a floor that features Armstrong’s unique surface technology tells you this is no ordinary laminate flooring.
Each floor has a clear, tough wear layer that protects against everyday household traffic and even light commercial environments.
The depth and intensity of the Masterworks with VTx technology that is applied to the Timber Inspirations collection subtly enhances the clarity of the grain to provide a superb natural timber appearance with a rich authenticity you can feel through its texture.
And beneath the surface, Armstrong’s superior performance structure, HydraCore, provides high resistance to surface spills, as well as excellent indentation resistance and dimensional stability.

Armstrong’s advanced flooring technology: the finest protection for your investment. Armstrong’s patented
LOCKING
SYSTEMS
No other laminate floor installs as fast as Armstrong’s ingenious and simple glueless Lock & Fold system… lock, fold… done!
Installation System Another Armstrong innovation, Armalock offers a simple glueless installation that provides over 950kg of locking strength per linear metre.
For added indentation resistance, use Armstrong felt floor protectors on chairs and other furniture. As a general rule of thumb, the heavier the item, the thicker the floor protector should be. You can purchase Armstrong floor care products at your local flooring retailer. Vacuum, use a dust mop or wipe with a damp cloth.
Do not use soap-based detergents or ‘mop & shine’ products, as these may leave a film on your floor. Our exceptionally durable surface finish protects the floor from stains, fading or wear and makes maintenance and cleaning stress-free.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring powder, which can scratch your floor. In very sandy areas or at the beach, sweep or vacuum regularly. Do not wax or polish your floor.
The Lock&Fold on Armstrong Timber Inspirations and the Armalock system are designed to take heavy loads, ensuring long-lasting stability and easy installation – whether it’s done professionally or as a DIY project. No Glue. No Mess. And best of all, your floor is ready for living from the moment it is installed.
Place a natural or colourfast mat at outside entrances to collect tracked-in dirt and absorb excess moisture.
For spills, just wipe up with a cloth or sponge.
Easy DIY installation with structural integrity. Every floor in the Armstrong Laminate flooring range features a patented locking system to provide ease of installation with a precision fit.
Simple steps to preserve the beauty of your Armstrong Laminate Floor.
Armstrong’s HydraCore™ provides superior moisture resistance, protecting your floor from surface spills and subfloor moisture – ideal in kitchens or entertaining areas.
Laminate flooring, like other types of smooth floors, can become slippery when wet. Allow time for floor to dry after washing. Immediately wipe up wet areas from spills, foreign substances or wet feet. Cleaning Products available:
The combination of MasterWorks Technology ® imaging with inregister embossing gives our premium laminate products colour, grain and texture so exceptionally authentic, they are often mistaken for the real thing.
Whichever timber species you choose, our exclusive imaging technology creates the most realistic, clear and vibrant designs in flooring.
