Constantine's Lindstrom^TM is a bold and graphic approach to pattern, texture and color. Complexity in the range of luster, varying dye-abilities of the fiber, and unique fade and shadowline characteristics create a surprisingly dimensional surface. To make Lindstrom's graphic pattern widely usable, a balance was created of bold, brighter contrast and tonal, subtle neutrals. Lindstrom can be specified with 16 percent post-industrial recycled content and is CRI Green Label Plus approved.ABET LAMINATI introduces Commercial Laminate Flooring-a premium product ideal for retail, hospitality and corporate environments.

Combining subtlety with style, Amtico International introduces Amtico Linear. Linear features a contemporary abstract surface pattern that complements new trends in furniture design and adds depth and sophistication to a space.

Linear is available in six neutral shades, offering a Linear choice for nearly any color scheme. The collection can be ordered in tiles or planks that experiment with the grain-breaking up large spaces and adding interest to smaller applications.Building on its leadership in flooring design and selection, Armstrong Commercial Floors offers a newly enhanced portfolio of exotic and domestic wood species crafted to perform beautifully in commercial interiors.

Patcraft, unveils its latest modular tile collection: Zoom. Inspired by The Modernist Design Movement of the late 1920s and early 1930s, the collection embraces a rational minimalist approach to design.

At the end of its useful life, Patcraft will reclaim the used carpet and upcycle both the fiber and backing into new carpet again and again-effectively keeping it out of the landfills forever.
