Is my Armstrong warranty transferable?
For most Armstrong products, like laminate, vinyl tile, linoleum and hardwood, the answer is no. The warranty is good only for the original purchaser. However for professionally installed vinyl sheet flooring, warranties are transferable.

If you purchased a home that has an Armstrong vinyl sheet floor and need to make a claim, you will need proof of purchase or some form of documentation stating when the floor installation took place. You will also need to be able to identify the name of the floor.

You can install Bruce Laminate flooring over virtually any existing floor -- wood, and wood underpayment, concrete, ceramic and resilient tile, vinyl sheet flooring, even carpet, if it's fully adhered to a wood subfloor, and no more than 1/4" thick. That means you don't have to pull up old floors and deal with the mess or the hassle of repairing most subfloor damage. Just make sure your subfloor is structurally sound, dry, clean and flat.
