Armstrong’s 150-year history may have been
built originally on mineral ceiling tiles but its
metal systems have proved equally successful,
capturing the interest and imagination of
specifiers globally. The company puts the reason
for this success down to a combination of factors
– innovative and outstanding products and
services, constructive dialogue with prospective
customers and partners in a diverse range of
countries with equally diverse requirements,
supported by highly qualified technical specialists
offering advice and guidance.

Armstrong’s
Unique Service
1
Consulting and planning
Each Armstrong project begins with an in-depth, one-on-one consultation with the specifier or main contractor.
Technical support and product recommendations are made once we understand the design, functionality and
performance requirements of the space.
2
Engineering and production
Working to this design brief, CAD drawings bespoke to the project are created which detail aspects such as
ceiling layout, views and perspectives. These details are then used to engineer a production schedule along
with any specific installation instructions that may be required at this early stage. Some are best sorted sooner
rather than later!
3
Logistics and installation
It doesn’t matter if one project uses the same products in the same way as another. It’s still unique to us and it’s
still unique to the specialist contractor installing our systems. That’s why we provide them with a tailored logistics
plan devised to maximise the benefits of JIT (Just-In-Time) implementation. Then, if they need us on site for
additional guidance, we will deliver there too.
4
Maintenance and support
Our customer service doesn’t end when a project is complete. Because if that project then needs adapting
to some new requirements in any way or expanding, we can continue to provide fitting solutions. We partner
with specialist contractors throughout the world who we rely on to help you take your project to the next stage,
whether it is adaptation, expansion, repair or basic maintenance.
Welcome to
our playing fields
Design
It is often important to create a convivial and relaxed environment. A successful ceiling design with good lighting
will create a warm atmosphere. Signage is an important element of ceiling design, and the ceiling grid system
can play an important role to help achieve this.
Lighting
Although natural light is generally preferred, it appears that many modern offices require artificial lighting in order
to create a comfortable environment. The ceiling can play a crucial part in optimising light reflectance and can
even produce energy savings.
Acoustics
It is difficult to work if you can hear every word of a conversation taking place in the next office. Noise originating
from areas close by have to be attenuated while maintaining the sound absorption required for an individual
office. Airports or railway stations are frequently very noisy places where acoustical control is an important issue.
Irrespective of the size of a teaching space and the use for which it is intended, certain acoustic criteria must be
considered. For each segment and each space, we have a dedicated acoustical solution.
Integrating services
Lighting, speakers, air conditioning, ventilation and smoke detectors are essential components that can be
incorporated into the ceiling.
Durability
Durable ceiling tiles ensure that when the tiles need to be removed for service maintenance or cleaning, the risk
of tile damage is minimised. The powder coat finish provides a tough, durable finish that can be easily cleaned.
Fire
Particularly in an establishment open to the public, fire reaction and fire resistance properties of the suspended
ceiling, can be of critical importance.
Demountability
Nothing is more disruptive than an area in a shop closed off while a leak or an electrical problem is being
repaired. Hence the importance of demountability of the ceiling, which also means that decor can be arranged
or regularly refurbished.
Washability
Medical environments require high levels of cleanliness, it is therefore essential that the specifier chooses a
ceiling with a durable and easily cleaned finish.
Armstrong metal Bioguard solutions provide active protection against bio-contamination.

Environmental
commitment and
certifications
Armstrong recognises the importance of protecting the environment and using resources
responsibly. We are committed to good environmental stewardship in our dealings with customers,
employees, the government and our communities.
We are systematically reducing our environmental footprint and providing products and services
that enable our customers to reduce the environmental impact of the buildings they create and
to provide end user comfort.
Visual Comfort
The ‘light reflectance’ of a surface is its ability to reflect light. Daylight and electrical lighting represent the
two primary sources of lighting available in the workplace. The light reflectance of the ceiling, floor and
wall surfaces play the second most important role for overall illumination of the room, thus also directly
affecting working comfort and productivity.
• High light reflectance ceilings also enhance indirect lighting by improving overall lighting uniformity.
• A light reflectance of 90% allows 20% of cost savings with indirect lighting and can yield total building
energy savings of up to 11% compared to a ceiling with 75% light reflectance.*
• Metal ceilings with smaller Extra or Ultra Microperforations have a light reflectance almost as high as
that of an unperforated tile, providing up to 15% more light reflectance than traditional perforations,
whilst still helping to provide acoustic comfort by controlling reverberation within the space.
• Extra Microperforated metal island ceilings installed in the workplace can improve the light reflection
over a workstation and provide better comfort for the end user.
*Brinjac Engineering Study: ‘Energy and Environmental Effects of High Light Reflectance Ceilings’ 2006.
Acoustical Comfort
In all types of spaces, choosing the right acoustical solutions will enhance the end user’ needs and overall
comfort. With acoustics, you need to determine whether intelligibility, concentration or confidentiality is
required? Armstrong can help you find the right acoustic solution for your space. You can choose from
a wide portfolio of products such as Armstrong canopies, standard suspended ceilings and i-ceilings
sound masking products.
Armstrong acoustical ceilings reduce noise levels in interior spaces, allowing for an optimum balance
of high performance sound absorption and room to room sound attenuation to maximise / minimise
speech intelligibility as appropriate.
Thermal Mass
To control the thermal environment in an office, we can use the thermal mass of the concrete to control
the temperature in the room instead of relying on air-conditioning and heating. Without the need to
power these, the amount of electricity being used is reduced significantly, lowering the building’s energy
requirements.To enable the thermal slab to work efficiently, it is important to maximise the open area.
Solutions like canopies make it possible, still improving acoustical and visual comfort.
15 Year Guarantee
15 YEAR
guarantee Armstrong metal ceilings are durable by their very nature and easily cleaned, and this can mean less
damage and fewer replacements required, resulting in a lower impact on the environment. Most
Armstrong metal products have a guarantee of up to 15 years.
up to Recycled Content
30% Armstrong metal ceiling tiles can be fully recycled and reprocessed for re-use.

SERVICE INTEGRATION
Semi-standard details
The ability to integrate building services equipment is a major
feature of metal ceiling systems. Metal tiles can be engineered
with cut-outs, apertures and special details to accommodate the
proliferation of services utilised in today’s modern building projects.
Whether the specifier selects a standard metal tile or a more
customised answer for his project, lighting fittings, air conditioning
grilles and fire protection equipment need to be harmonised with the
ceiling system. For us, this is standard practice, and the advanced
manufacturing capabilities of our metal ceiling facilities enable
products to be offered complete with engineered solutions for the
incorporation of building services.
Special size and half module tiles can also be produced when
necessary to finish ceilings at perimeters and other
junctions.
