I.                    15 New Imperial Texture colors have been added to the “Standard Excelon” line, along with 3 New colors in Safety Zone.  Armstrong is committed to maintaining a leadership position by keeping the line current, fresh and responsive to ever changing market demands.  Apollo will continue to offer exceptional service and inventory to support you, the contractor.  Your Apollo sales representative will be in shortly to review these great new colors and update your samples.  www.armstrong.com

 

 

II.                  Here is a great idea I picked up at the FCICA Convention.  Give every job foreman and driver with your company a disposable camera.  Driver has an accident?  Some trade rolls a scissor jack over your newly installed VCT?  Need proof?  How about a picture?  Use a disposable camera with a flash for those not so well lighted jobsites.  Date the camera, include the job name—and only develop as needed.  www.fcica.com

 

III.                Yankee Stadium…Luxury Suite…Parking Pass…VIP Entrance…All this can be yours with our “Grand Slam” Promotion.  Contact your Apollo salesperson for details!

 

 

Text Box: “Armstrong Corner” with Mike Avery Armstrong commercial sheet and tile floor are an excellent choice for Auto Showrooms where a durable, easily maintained and attractive flooring surface is required. However, when auto tires remain in contact with the floor for a period of time, the oils and antioxidants used in their manufacture can stain vinyl flooring. To avoid this situation, a sheet of plastic should be placed under the tires in the showroom. www.floorexpert.com
