AHF Products, a manufacturer of hard surface flooring for the residential and commercial markets, announced that Armstrong Flooring Natralis Commercial Homogeneous Vinyl Sheet has won a 2023 Good Design Award. Natralis is a bold and innovative collection inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of North America and the mesmerizing “spot” patterns found in nature.
“Flooring is increasingly at the forefront in the decision-making process, and Natralis is a true problem solver. It is incredibly durable, easy to clean, low maintenance and meets high performance criteria for applications such as healthcare, senior living, education, and hospitality," said Fred Reitz , Vice President of Commercial, AHF Products.
The floor’s true through-pattern provides even wear, a consistent appearance and superior gouge and abrasion resistance to withstand heavy foot and rolling load traffic. Because it is easy to push, pull, and roll heavy equipment and furniture across this floor, it’s ideal for high-traffic commercial settings. Plus, the high-performance coating resists soil, stains, scratches, scuffs, and abrasions, as well as chemicals and damage from alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
"The extensive color palette gives the customer selections that meet both the practical and aesthetic requirements of commercial environments", said Principal Designer Oxana Dallas. "The design offers flexibility. Inspired by the mesmerizing ‘spot’ patterns found in nature, the design team elevated it to new heights with the addition of dynamic ‘speckles.’ The result is a design that is both breathtaking and authentic, highlighting the stunning beauty of North America's landscapes."
The floor is designed to coordinate across the Armstrong Flooring Continuum, so that assorted designs and structures will work seamlessly throughout a facility, providing specifiers with infinite design possibilities and unrivaled flexibility using a wide range of award-winning products.
