Product Features
- See the Parallel USA 20 and Parallel USA 12 collections at ArmstrongFlooring.com
- Manufactured in the US, Parallel USA Luxury Flooring offers a balance of performance, design and price – and is just a truck delivery away. Its performance has been strengthened with Urethane Plus coating to provide enhanced resistance to scratches, stains and scuffs compared to standard urethane coatings.
- The curated collection features sophisticated fabric designs in subtle neutral tones on a tile format, and an array of wood species, and even a stone-inspired wood plank to balance the collection.
- Parallel USA 20 is ideally suited for areas where commercial flooring performance is a requirement. Parallel USA 12 can be used in light commercial spaces, Main Street businesses, and residential areas in mixed use properties.
- Low VOC emissions – California Section 01350 compliant, third-party FloorScore certification and LEED eligibility
MATERIAL: A tough, clear, unfilled polyurethane wear layer composed of polyvinyl chloride resins, plasticizers, stabilizers and processing aids on a filled vinyl backing.
PATTERN AND COLORS: The overall visuals are created by a print between the wear layer and intermediate color layer. The clear wear layer is embossed with different textures to enhance each of the printed visuals. Color pigments are insoluble in water and resistant to cleaning agents and light.

Numerical flammability ratings alone may not define the performance of the product under actual fire conditions. These ratings are provided only for use in the selection of products to meet the specified limits.
STATIC LOAD LIMIT: ASTM F 970*; 2000 psi
*Testing at loads above 250 psi is outside the scope of the test method. Since testing is conducted on uninstalled flooring, results do not consider the performance of the adhesive, underlayment, or subfloor. These test results are not an indicator of the installed flooring system performance
