Severances And Related Costs [Abstract]
Severances And Related Costs	NOTE 15. SEVERANCE AND RELATED COSTS See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of severance charges associated with restructuring actions. In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded $3.4 million for severance and related costs in SG&A expense ($3.2M) and cost of goods sold ($0.2M) to reflect approximately 35 position eliminations in our European Building Products business, primarily as a result of streamlining SG&A functions. In the first quarter of 2011, we recorded $3.0 million in cost of goods sold for severance and related costs to reflect position eliminations in our European Resilient Flooring business as a result of improved manufacturing productivity. In addition, we recorded $0.5 million in SG&A expense for severance and related costs to reflect the separation costs for our former Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. In 2010, we recorded $11.2 million in SG&A expense for severance and related costs to reflect the separation costs for our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. During 2010, we announced the shutdown of finished goods production at two Wood Flooring plants, the restarting of certain operations at a previously idled Wood Flooring plant, the closure of a European metal ceilings manufacturing facility and a crew reduction in a European Building Products plant. We recorded $5.7 million of severance and related expenses in 2010 for approximately 500 employees affected by these actions. The charges were recorded in cost of goods sold. In addition to the charges described above, in 2010 we also recorded $6.3 million of severance and related expenses for employees affected by the elimination of approximately 160 other manufacturing and SG&A positions around the world. The charges were recorded in SG&A expense ($4.5 million) and cost of goods sold ($1.8 million).
