Armstrong Vinyl Asbestos Floor Tile — Mesothelioma Compensation

Armstrong's iconic 9x9-inch vinyl asbestos floor tile (VAT) was the dominant commercial floor covering from the 1950s through the 1980s. Used in millions of schools, hospitals, offices, retail spaces, and residential buildings. Floor tile installers, custodians (buffing/stripping VAT), and demolition workers face documented asbestos exposure. Armstrong World Industries' bankruptcy created the Armstrong Asbestos Trust.
