Carpet Tiles
Armstrong
A carpet tile is a precisely engineered module making great demands on production techniques. At Armstrong, the entire manufacturing process is carried out in house from blending fibres right through to shipment of the finished product. By continually investing in advanced technology and developing its own production methods, the company's determination to achieve perfection and precision consistently result in high quality products. The principal of the carpet tile is dynamic and Armstrong is continually responding to this challenge. As an international organisation, Armstrong studies trends and ideas from all over the world and then creates products for use at a local level. Evolving lifestyles across the world have been reflected in the up to date colours, designs and technical expertise. As a result the concept of carpet tiles is penetrating deeper and deeper into the total floorcovering market. No longer is the floorcovering an afterthought for Armstrong and our customers. It is a statement of design, ambience and functionality. The right ambience in shops and showrooms can contribute towards increasing sales, whilst in hotels and restaurants ambience is even more important. It has also been scientifically proven that the working environment does influence work performance. Clever use of colour and design will provide a positive background to the working environment. Carpet tiles can be used to create an aura of peace and tranquillity. Alternatively, they may form an exciting feast of colour and shapes. Different areas of activity and walkways can be highlighted by the clever use of carpet tiles. In addition, carpet tiles may bear a company's colours or Logo to give its identity greater presence. Involve Armstrong in your interior design planning at an early stage to ensure maximum benefit is achieved from these concepts. At Armstrong, contact with our customers rarely stops after the initial purchase. Due to the dynamic nature of companies and institutions and their need to expand, relocate, reorganise and subsequently replace their floorcovering, our expertise continues to be at our customers' disposal years after the initial installation.

Realwood Floors
The solid wood floors from Terhurne are the right choice for whoever would like to lend a completely natural character to their home. The woods used for Terhurne REALWOOD solid wood floors are taken exclusively from selected regions and forest areas. This is the only way to ensure the exceptional quality of wood and the harmonious surface effect of REALWOOD. Only seasoned quality woods are used to produce these top quality floors. The computer controlled drying technique guarantees maximum dimensional stability and optimum balancing moisture in the wood of this premium floor.
Finishes:
- Oiled Surface – In the natural-oiled solid wood floor REALWOOD, maximum protection of the surface is achieved in a completely ecological manner. I addition, the use of oil accentuates the natural look and feel of the wood. The natural exchange of moisture with the air in the room is enabled by the breathing surfaces. Not only beneficial to allergy sufferers, oiled surfaces are also easy to care for. Various wood types are also available in white oiled finish on request.
- Oiled Brushed Surface - Brushed wood floors are just the right solution for whoever prefers a floor featuring a marked accentuation of the grain. The soft wood is removed from the surface of the wood which results in an extremely hard wearing floor featuring a typically rustic wood texture.
