Armstrong CushionStep: What We Talk About When We Talk About Tiles

Note: The title has been changed to "Armstrong CushionStep".

When we talk about hard-surface flooring—flooring tiles from Armstrong or any other flooring manufacturer—we don't usually talk about flooring. Easy care, yes. Style, naturally. Durability, definitely. But not comfort. You can't seriously expect to find comfort in surface flooring that advertises itself as “hard”.

Now introducing CushionStep, the revolutionary flooring tile innovation from Armstrong International. Technically it's not exactly hard-surface flooring. It's more like a unique combination of the durability of tile flooring and the softness of a carpet all rolled into one neat package. CushionStep.

The term “CushionStep” refers to the wide range of innovative products founded by flooring-ceiling-cabinets manufacturer Armstrong International. The product themselves are subdivided into three unique categories, namely: stone, impressions, and wood. But don't let the names fool you. These soft-to-the-touch floorings are some of the most comfortable tiles you can find in the industry.

A typical CushionStep tile is made up of five layers. Each layer is specially designed to achieve a singular purpose, and together these layers work together for that distinctive soft flooring feeling you can only find in an Armstrong CushionStep tile.

Here's a closer look into each layer:

CushionCore layer – The CushionCore layer is the lower-most layer of a CushionStep tile. It is also the thickest of the five layers. It provides superior durability and comfort.

Glass fiber web layer – The Glass fiber web layer lies on top of the CushionCore layer. It provides optimum stability and strength.

Printed design layer – As its name suggests, the Printed design layer is responsible for the overall tile design. It is the middle-most layer of the stack.

Protective wear layer – The protective wear layer is a clear, translucent layer that protects the underlying layer from scratches.

VisionGuard layer – The VisionGuard provides additional protection. It is the top-most layer of the stack.
