Tarkett announces price increases for commercial tile

Citing rising energy costs, Tarkett said it will raise prices on its commercial resilient tile lines beginning June 1. Price increases for the flooring will be between 2 to 6 percent, Tarkett notes.

            “The continual rise in energy costs dramatically affects not only our production costs but escalates freight expenses,” said Gilles be Beaumont, president of Tarkett Commercial, North America. “We will continue working diligently to assure that our products stay competitive in the marketplace,” he added.

            The decision follows similar announcements from Armstrong and Congoleum made last week.
