Armstrong wins Best of IBS Awards

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) awarded Armstrong Flooring a “Best of International Builders Show (IBS)” Bath Award for Alterna Engineered Stone Tile in the fourth annual Best of IBS Awards held during the 2016 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.

This year’s “Best of IBS” Awards received over 325 award entries, submitted by over 130 exhibitors. Decided by a panel of independent judges made up of attending reporters and building professionals, the awards were given in nine categories, plus an overall Best in Show award. Awards were given to exhibitors with a product or line that shows the best combination of design, functionality and innovation, as well as its usefulness to consumers and/or home builders.

Alterna engineered stone flooring collection is an innovative choice over natural stone and ceramic tile, Armstrong says. Like natural materials, Alterna flooring is said to be incredibly beautiful and durable, but a comfortable surface makes Alterna tiles warmer to the touch, easier to care for and kinder to feet.

Alterna holds up to kids, pets, heavy traffic; the durable engineered stone construction makes Alterna tiles tough enough to stand up to a lifetime of activity in any room in the home, the company says. Its newest designs, including Enchanted Forrest (pictured) are meant to be mixed-and-matched to create different color combinations and patterns for a unique look every time.
