Air Quality
Armstrong offers specific solutions to limit the number of airborn
particules in a clean room environment. These products are tested
against ISO 14644-1.
Acoustics
The occupant of a space, be it an office, a classroom, a shop, or
any similar environment needs:
- Intelligibility to hear and to be understood
- Privacy to not be overheard
- Concentration to not be disturbed.
The optimum acoustic climate will be obtained with the right combination of
sound absorption and sound insulation, and can be supplemented by the use
of active acoustics.
Impact resistance
Frequent ceiling tile removal, typically in areas where building
service equipment is located, means that a higher level of impact
resistance can be desired. In this category, the level of durability and impact
resistance has been improved by Armstrong.
Light Reflectance
Light reflectance of a surface is its property of reflecting light. The
measure of light reflectance is that fraction of the specified incident
light which is reflected by the surface expressed as a percentage value.
Recycled Content
A significant proportion of our products are produced using
particular recycled raw materials. They are indicated in our literature
in accordance with LEED requirements.
Humidity resistance
Ceiling installations are facing more and more demanding
humidity conditions such as: fast track programmes, buildings with
intermittent heating and cooling, areas with a high concentration of people,
structures which are open to the exterior environment, etc.
To meet these requirements Armstrong offers a wide range of products
suitable for installation in conditions of up to 99% Relative Humidity, some of
which excel in extreme conditions of up to 100% RH.
Cleanability
The frequency and method of cleaning of a ceiling varies from one
application to another, from cloth to high pressure water jet and
including resistance to disinfectants for healthcare premises.
See cleaning & maintenance details for full details.
Anti-microbial performance
The control of bio-contamination is essential in the healthcare
sector, especially in hospitals and clinics.
Armstrong ceilings are treated with BioBlock+TM and do not favour the
development of fungi/mould or yeast and the products can be used in any
general area. The Armstrong Bioguard paint reduces the colony size of
virulent strains of bacteria, moulds and yeasts. This special paint finish can be
cleaned and disinfected.
Scratch Resistance
Superior level of surface scratch resistance, evaluated with the
Hess rake test.
10 year warranty

LEED
The Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) Green
Building Rating System encourages
and accelerates global adoption
of sustainable green building and
development practices through
the creation and implementation of
universally understood and accepted
12
tools and performance criteria.

LEED is a third-party certification
program and the nationally
accepted benchmark for the design,
construction and operation of high
performance green buildings.
GRIHA
GRIHA, an acronym for Green Rating
for Integrated Habitat Assessment, is
the National Rating System of

India. GRIHA has been conceived by
TERI and developed jointly with the
Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy, Government of India. It is
a green building 'design evaluation
system', and is suitable for all kinds of
buildings in different climatic zones of
the country.

LEED Credits
An overview of how ceiling systems contribute to LEED
ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE
LEED NC Energy and Atmosphere
Credit 1.1 Optimize Energy
Performance
LEED NC & LEED CI Intent: Achieve

increasing levels of energy performance
above the baseline standard to reduce
environmental and economic impacts
associated with excessive energy use.
LEED NC Requirement: Demonstrate
a percentage improvement in the
proposed building performance rating
compared to the baseline building
LEED CI Requirement: Reduce

connected lighting power density
below that allowed by ASHRAE/IESNA
Standard 90.1-2004.
Armstrong Ceiling Systems
Contribution:
To aid in reducing lighting power
density which lowers energy and

maintenance costs, Armstrong High
Light Reflectance ceilings and systems
provide the same level of illuminance
with fewer luminaries. This will assist
in reducing lighting and HVAC energy
costs up to 25% in new or existing
building structures where a High Light
Reflectance ceiling is installed along
with indirect lighting. Also steps to
reduce the number of fixtures and
reduce the wattage of lamps should
be taken. The number of LEED credits
awarded for such improvements are
different for new and existing building
structures

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
The Green Building Movement continues

to grow at a rapid pace. Buildings
consume 40% of energy and 71% of
electricity and account for 39% of CO2
emissions directly influencing global
climate change*.
We can help to change this course by
designing, building and occupying more
environmentally-sensitive structures. By
integrating natural resources, human
health and community concerns into
building design and construction,
architects and designers can create
buildings that are cleaner, healthier for
occupants & the environment and which
deplete fewer resources. Moreover a
designed green building can yield a
better return on investment over the
buildings lifecycle.
Armstrong is committed to providing
environmentally preferable products
and services to enhance these green
buildings. Even as early as 1860,
Armstrong has pioneered green
practices, products and services, first in
North America and then worldwide. Our
quality and process-driven culture are
seeds by which we continue to innovate
environmentally-responsible practices. In
1999, as evidence of this commitment,
in North America we introduced the first
commercial ceilings recycling programme
in the industry, providing customers with
10 years of experience, resulting in a
closed loop process.

Energy savings and environmental benefits
of high light reflectance ceilings
HIGH LIGHT REFLECTANCE CEILINGS
The three most common lighting

options are: direct or downlighting,
indirect or uplighting, and direct/indirect
or a combination of task and ambient
lighting. While each offers advantages
and disadvantages, indirect lighting
systems are growing in popularity
because they overcome many of the
shortcomings of direct systems by
providing a light source with fewer

shadows and less glare. Indirect lighting
has also grown due to lower costs,
more compact systems, less obtrusive
designs, simplified installation, and
broader and deeper product lines.
In general, increasing the reflectance

of a ceiling has a very positive impact
on the lighting and energy use of
a building, especially when used in
conjunction with an indirect lighting
system.
High Light Reflectance Ceilings

The ceiling is an integral part of an
indirect lighting system because it must
reflect the light that strikes it back into
the space. The ability of a ceiling to
reflect light is indicated by its Light
Reflectance or LR value. LR values
range from 0.00 to 1.00 and denote the
percent of light striking the panel that is
reflected. For example, an LR or 0.75
means the panel reflects 75% of the
light striking it. Most commonly installed
acoustical ceilings have an LR of 0.70
to 0.81. High light reflectance or Hi-LR
ceilings have an LR of 0.83 or higher.
Armstrong offers highly light

reflective ceilings which can be used
to improve the overall room lighting,
conserve energy and thereby reduce
energy costs.
Our product ranges are developed
for ease of maintenance resulting in
minimum replacements.
The ceiling tile tested here is Ultima,
but these tests can be extended to
other solutions like Metal ceilings.

LIGHT REFLECTANCE RESEARCH

To substantiate the effects of increasing
the ceiling reflectance in typical office
plans, Brinjac Engineering, a multidiscipline consulting engineering firm,
conducted two studies, one on work
plane illuminance and the other on
energy consumption.
In the first study, 4 room configurations
were selected as typical office spaces:
a 10 x 10 private office, a 100 x 30
open office, a 60 x 60 open office,
and an irregular shaped open office.
Two different light fixtures were used: a
direct recessed 2 x 2 parabolic troffer
and an indirect pendant. All variables
were held constant and only the ceiling
reflectance was changed from 75% up
to 90%. No daylighting or task lighting
was taken into effect.
Work Plane Illuminance
The study results showed that for
direct fixtures, work plane illuminance
achieved modest increases ranging
from 2% to 5% when increasing the
ceiling reflectance from 75% to 90%.
Finding: Compared to a 75% reflective
ceiling, the 90% reflective ceiling
achieved an average increase of nearly
22% in work plane illuminance with
indirect lighting. This increase in light
level means lighting costs can be
lowered by using fewer fixtures in the
space or by using the same number of
fixtures but at lower wattage levels.
Figure 1 demonstrates the difference
high light reflectance ceilings can make
in workplace illuminance when used
with indirect lighting.

The study also showed that compared

to 75% reflective ceilings, 90% reflective
ceilings enhanced the benefits of
indirect lighting by improving lighting
uniformity. Poor uniformity leads to
visual discomfort.
Energy Savings
In the second study, a new lighting
design was created to optimize the
layout with 90% reflective ceiling tile
using the same spaces and indirect
light fixtures as the first study.
These results were compared against
a layout of 2 x 2 recessed parabolic
troffers with standard spacing. The
results were then compared against
each other to determine the change in
energy use that was achieved with the
higher value for the ceiling tile.
Finding: The 90% reflective ceiling
allowed spacing between indirect
luminaire sections to be increased, thus
reducing the total number of luminaires
needed to achieve light levels similar to
the 75% ceiling.
Finding: The 90% reflective ceiling and
indirect fixtures yielded a 23% lower
lighting power density than the 75%
reflective ceiling layout and a 21%
lower lighting power density than the
parabolic troffer layout. Using the same
open office configurations, the effects of
the reduced lighting load on the HVAC
system were then modeled using two
different software programs.
Finding: The reduction in lighting
power density obtained by the 90%
reflective ceiling enabled an average
HVAC energy cost savings of up to 9%
over the layout with a 75% reflective
ceiling and 7% over the troffer layout.
Based on these results, there is a
significant impact on the HVAC system
by reducing the in-room heat generated
by the lighting load through the use
of a high light reflectance ceiling. This
impact can be positive in the form of
energy savings, especially if the building
is in cooling year-round, as many
buildings are.
LEED Credits
High light reflectance ceilings can also
contribute to LEED points, especially in
the Energy and Atmosphere category
under EA Credit 1.0 (Optimize Energy
Performance). In the Brinjac study, for
example, energy points were achieved
by nothing more than increasing the
light reflectance.
Based on the spaces used in the study,
the reduction in total building energy
consumption as defined by LEED NC
2.2 could be as high as 10.6% when
optimizing the lighting layout with 90%
reflective ceilings. This savings
qualifies for 1 point in a new building or
3 points in an existing building.
Hi-LR ceilings are also a factor in the
Indoor Environmental Quality category
by contributing to EQ Credit 8.1, 8.2
(Daylight and Views). This is because
high light reflectance ceilings can
extend natural daylighting into a
space. And, Hi-LR ceiling systems
can contribute in the Materials and
Resources category in the following
areas:
MR Credit 2.1, 2.2 (Construction Waste
Management),
MR Credit 4.1, 4.2 (Recycled Content),
MR Credit 5.1,
5.2 (Local/Regional Materials), and
MR Credit 6.0
(Rapidly Renewable Materials).
Seeing the Light
As indicated by the Brinjac study,
architects and designers should look
at the ceiling system as an integral
element of a buildings energy reduction
strategy. The overall cost impact
compared to potential energy savings
make high light reflectance ceilings a
viable solution for achieving energy
reductions without the need for more
costly new technology.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Increasing attention is being given to
green buildings and sustainable design,
especially as it pertains to the quality
of the indoor environment and the
concentration of formaldehyde within it.
What is Formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with
a pungent odor that occurs naturally in
the environment. It is also an important
industrial chemical that is widely used
in the manufacture of other chemicals,
building materials and household
products. And, it is a volatile organic
compound (VOC), meaning that it
vaporizes and becomes a gas at
normal room temperatures. As a result,
products containing formaldehyde can
release it as a gas.
Why Is It a Concern?
Formaldehyde is normally present at
low levels in outdoor air. However,
interior spaces containing products that
release formaldehyde can have levels
greater than that of outdoor air. And, as
formaldehyde levels increase with the
20
installation of multiple interior finishes,

possible illness or discomfortis more
likely to occur.
The effect of formaldehyde on people
varies widely from person to person.
Some people are very sensitive to it,
while others have no noticeable reaction
to the same level. Depending upon an
individuals sensitivity, exposure to low
to moderate levels of formaldehyde can
cause temporary burning or itching of
the eyes or nose, stuffy nose, sore or
burning throat, or headaches. Breathing
high levels of formaldehyde can cause
chest tightness, coughing, wheezing or
a worsening of asthma symptoms.
What Affects Formaldehyde Levels?
The formaldehyde level in indoor air
depends primarily on four factors:
1) The source of the formaldehyde
Building materials containing
formaldehyde tend to release more of
the gas when the product is new. As
the product ages, formaldehyde release
usually decreases. As a result, new or
renovated spaces tend to have higher

formaldehyde levels because they often
contain a large amount of recently
installed building materials.
2) Air exchange rate Decreasing the
flow of outdoor air to the inside of a
building increases the formaldehyde
level of the indoor air.
3) Temperature As temperature rises,
more formaldehyde is emitted.
4) Humidity As humidity rises, more
formaldehyde is released.
5) Loading Factor If the quantity
of formaldehyde emitting material is
reduced, the overall concentration of
formaldehyde is reduced. Loading
factor is the ratio of building material
surface area to the building volume.
What Are Interior Sources of
Formaldehyde?
In any given space, a variety of interior
products may emit formaldehyde.
They include, but are not limited to,
such products as:
Composite or pressed wood products
such as doors, casework, finish

Formaldehyde emissions and interior spaces
...WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
How Can Formaldehyde Levels Be

Reduced?
A number of measures can be
taken to help reduce indoor levels of
formaldehyde emissions. They include:
Maintain proper levels of temperature
and humidity
Since elevated temperatures and high
relative humidity increase formaldehyde
release, it is vital to continually monitor
and control these conditions. In
addition, explore air conditioning,

dehumidifiers and other moisture
control measures.
Provide adequate ventilation
Use American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 62,
Ventilation for Acceptable IAQ, and
Uniform Building Code (UBC), Chapter
12, Title 24, Energy Standards,
Section 121 as guidelines.
Control emissions at the source
Reduce formaldehyde levels
by choosing products with low
formaldehyde emission rates. While
avoiding indoor conditions of elevated
temperature and humidity and providing
proper ventilation can help in controlling
formaldehyde emissions, the best
strategy is source reduction. This
means substituting lower-formaldehyde
products for those emitting higher
levels.
To further help reduce emissions at the
source, it is important to precondition
products that do have significant

emissions by allowing them to off-gas
without any packaging in a dry, wellventilated space for 14 days prior to
installation
Choosing Acoustical Ceiling Systems
When selecting acoustical ceiling
systems for an entire building or a
specific space, its important to know
that Armstrong offers the widest
selection of acoustical ceilings that
satisfy stringent indoor environmental
quality requirements for formaldehyde
and VOC emissions without
affecting other performance properties
such as acoustics, durability, sag
resistance, light reflectance, fire and
seismic performance, recycleability
and recycled content.
All Armstrong acoustical ceiling
systems meet the U.S. Department of
Labor Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements
for formaldehyde exposure and
content requirements for workers
handling these materials.

WELL BEING
ENVIRONMENT
Grave
Mold is receiving more attention

within the construction industry than
ever before. One reason is that it is
becoming an increasingly visible subject
in the media. Another is an increased
awareness of mold by a buildings
occupants.
Regardless of the reason, it is
important that everyone involved in the
construction industry, from architects
and designers to contractors, building
owners and facility managers, now be
familiar with the implications of mold
in creating structurally sound and
aesthetically pleasing spaces.
Because mold can grow on virtually any
building material if necessary conditions
are present, architects, designers,
contractors, building owners and facility
managers all have a role in identifying
and preventing the conditions that
permit the possibility of mold growth
during the various stages of the
22
construction process.
Fortunately, while mold can grow on
virtually any surface, the use of proper
building design, construction and
maintenance practices can mitigate the
possibility of excessive mold growth.
The relationship between mold
exposure in buildings and human health
is currently the subject of medical
study. Exposure to most kinds of
mold usually has no effect on healthy
individuals. However, exposure to
certain kinds of molds may cause
discomfort, cause or aggravate
allergies and asthmatic conditions, and
increase the risk of respiratory illness
or infections in susceptible or allergic
individuals. Because of this, conditions
that foster mold growth in an indoor
environment should not be allowed to
develop or persist.
The Construction Process
Before construction
When designing the building envelope,
systems that not only shed water but
also are capable of drying out if water
does penetrate them are required to
help keep moisture from infiltrating the
building.
On the interior, HVAC systems that
provide proper ventilation and air
exchange are required to help prevent
the creation of high humidity conditions
and possible condensation. There
is no substitute for good building
design, construction and maintenance
practices for preventing mold growth.
Enhanced mold resistance, however,
can be achieved through the selection
of specially treated products for use in
a buildings interior. Armstrong ceilings,
for example, can be treated with two
different types of antimicrobials:
BioBlock Ceilings treated with
BioBlock inhibit or retard the growth
of mold on the painted surface
when used in accordance with good
design, construction and maintenance
practices. The BioBlock formulation
contains a fungicide that is applied to
the front and back of the panels.

Intersept Ceilings treated with
Intersept on the face of the panels
inhibit the growth of odor and staincausing bacteria on the treated surface
of the panel. Bacteria, unlike mold, can
grow without a living or organic food
source. They thrive on chemicals
in their surroundings, and do not
require food or light. Intersept is a lowtoxicity, broad-spectrum antimicrobial
that is built into the product and
protects it by destabilizing the cellular
membrane of certain microorganisms,
preventing them from multiplying
and surviving.
When selecting acoustical ceilings, its
important to note that no standardized
industry test for measuring mold and
mildew growth on ceiling materials
currently exists. The most common
test method used today was actually
developed to measure resistance to
mold growth on the surface of interior
coatings such as paint, not building
materials. In lieu of a standardized test,
Armstrong tests its products using the
same test method all other members
of the building materials industry use,
namely ASTM D 3273. In the meantime,
Armstrong is participating with key
industry partners in the creation of new
tests designed specifically to determine
the resistance of building materials
to mold growth over time in more
representative test conditions.
For use in high humidity environments,
Armstrong also offers sag-resistant
HumiGuard ceilings. These ceilings
resist sagging that can diminish the
attractiveness of a space and cause
ceilings to chip and soil more easily.
Use of a ceiling suspension system
that has a hot dipped galvanized
finish is another important factor in
high humidity areas. This coating
inhibits moisture-induced red rusting
and corrosion better and longer than
electrogalvanized or painted systems.
NOTE: Substituting products that are

The basics of mold and moisture control
During construction
If building materials are kept dry prior
to installation, the risk of mold growth
is significantly reduced. Therefore,
contractors should have a plan for
protecting materials from water
damage, paying particular attention to
the way the materials are transported
and unloaded, and then stored at the
construction site.
To preclude the growth of mold, it is
important to keep the building interior
dry during construction. For example,
if contractors must install interior
finishes before the building envelope is
enclosed or before the HVAC system
is in operation because of a fast track
construction schedule, it is important
to cover the area in which they are
working to shut out the weather and
help ensure that condensation and
other forms of moisture are not trapped
in the building.
If the area is enclosed, contractors
can use desiccant dehumidifiers or
indirect-fired heaters to dry areas where
they are installing or applying certain
finishes, particularly if water is visible
in those areas. Humidity control firms
can also create a temporary humidity
and temperature control system
using similar equipment. If moisture is
introduced during a wet construction
process, such as wet concrete and
masonry, poured flooring, or painting, it
is important to maintain an ample level
of ventilation to insure proper drying.
NOTE: Armstrong HumiGuard sagresistant ceilings can be installed in
high humidity conditions, but not
in the presence of condensation.
Condensation allows moisture to come
in direct contact with the ceiling. This
can lead to possible mold growth
and also void the product warranty.
After Construction
Building operation and maintenance are
no less important than building design
and construction in ensuring moisture
control. As buildings become tighter,
the amount of air exchanged between
the interiors conditioned spaces and
the outdoors diminishes, resulting in
significantly less dilution of moisture.
Consequently, provisions must be
made to provide proper ventilation.
Otherwise, moisture will take longer to
migrate out of the building, increasing
interior relative humidity, creating a
higher likelihood of condensation
and reducing the drying potential.
Regular inspection and maintenance
of the building envelope and interior
spaces is also critical. Caulked joints
are particularly important because, if
ignored, leaks around windows, doors,
roofs and foundations can become
serious problems. On the interior, make
sure the water used in cleaning and
other maintenance procedures does
not find its way into enclosed spaces
or soak finished materials. In addition,
owners and their maintenance crews
must try to avoid any accumulation
of water in any location where water
should not be. This includes such
conditions as a cracked water pipe or
an overflowing toilet. In these cases,
the water event must be immediately
addressed. It also includes less obvious
conditions such as condensation on
windows, doors, pipes, drains or
mechanical systems, all of which can
provide enough moisture for mold to
begin to grow. Regardless of the cause,
the presence of any unwanted water in
a building must be prevented.
Taking action
If a facility is shut down for an extended
period of time, such as a school over
summer vacation, it is important that
the HVAC system continues to operate.
Failure to do may cause moist, humid
conditions and condensation that could
lead to the growth of mold.
If mold is found, it is important to
immediately identify the cause of the
moisture intrusion and eliminate it.

Otherwise, the mold may return. The
mold itself should also be eliminated
immediately.
Depending on the degree of mold
infestation, this can be accomplished
by a trained in-house crew or by a
professional mold remediation service.
In the event of an abnormal condition,
such as water intrusion caused by a
building leak or condensation, waterstained, damaged ceiling panels should
be removed as quickly as possible.
The source of the moisture should
then be identified and repaired prior to
installing new ceiling panels. Not only
can mold grow on a waterdamaged
panel in the right conditions, mold
spores on a damaged panel can more
easily become airborne once the panel
has dried. It is also wise to monitor the
plenum space above the damaged
panels for potential mold growth in the
future. In most cases, waterstained
panels are an indication of moisture
within the plenum, and should be
promptly addressed.
Moisture Control Is Key to Mold
Control
Building design, construction and
maintenance practices that focus on
eliminating water intrusion from
condensation, leakage and other
sources are critical to the reduction of
mold and mildew in building interiors.
Each party involved in the construction
process plays a role in moisture
control. Before construction, architects
must design the building properly
and select appropriate materials and
systems. During construction, general
contractors must sequence trades
so that moisture exposure is limited,
and sub-contractors must protect
the materials from water damage
and install them in accordance with
manufacturers requirements. After
construction, building owners must
operate and maintain the building
properly.

Intelligibility, confidentiality and concentration

To meet acoustical regulations, it is generally sufficient to meet the performance measures
in unoccupied spaces, without office equipment switched on.
Acoustical regulations generally recommend values to be achieved for reverberation times
(within a space) and sound insulation (between spaces or from outside the building).
This approach isnt satisfactory any
more to meet the expectations of
occupants, in particular with the
development of open spaces in offices
and the increasing hearing problems of
students in the education sector.
On a day-to-day basis, any activity
disturbs the initial acoustical balance,
like for example group discussions,
ringing phones, copy machines, music,
open windows or road traffic noise.
Occupants of an office, a classroom,
a shop, a hospital or any other space,
need a comfortable and healthy
environment to carry out their
activity under the best conditions.
The right acoustical environment
is essential and the way to achieve that
is to focus on:
- Intelligibility
(I want to be understood)
- Confidentiality (I dont want to be
overheard)
- Concentration (I do not want to be
disturbed)
24
At any listeners position. the sound level contribution can be analysed as follows
Sound Level
Signal: "What we
want to understand"
Natural voice
Amplified voice
Music
Background noise:
"What we do not
want to hear"
Intrusive noise
- Break-in noise such as road/air
traffic
- Mechanical noise (HVAC)
Occupational noise
-
Computer fans
Phones ringing
Copying machines
Distant people's voices
Occupant behaviour (open window
for air temperature control)
RECEPTION OF A SOUND
EMISSION OF A SOUND
A person who receives a sound,

will consider it as necessary or
unwanted depending on their activity at
that moment:
- When someone needs to understand
a speaker in a classroom,
an amphitheatre, a conference
room, music or an alert message,
there necessarily needs to be good
Intelligibility.
The signal needs to be much
stronger than the background noise.
- When someone needs to work or
study alone, they dont want to be
disturbed by distracting sounds,
to guarantee a good Concentration.
The background noise shouldnt be
intrusive.
A person who emits a sound, wants

to be well understood or, on the
contrary, wishes a certain level of
discretion, depending on his activity:
- A professor or a speaker in front of
a large audience wants to be well
understood at any position in the
room and therefore needs a good
Intelligibility.
- During a discussion with their banker,
doctor or during a top secret
meeting, people wish not to be
overheard by strangers and a good
level of Confidentiality is critical.
The signal shouldnt be higher than
the background noise.
- When an audio system is used
to diffuse evacuation instructions in
a building or public transport, publicity
messages or music, these signals
need to be intelligible, which isnt
always the case.
ACOUSTICAL COMFORT
The search for optimum acoustical conditions can be summarised under Intelligibility, Confidentiality
and Concentration. Its all about the right difference between signal and background noise, the
so-called Signal-to-Noise ratio. The following table shows some examples of spaces with the most
important criteria to focus on.

Role of ceilings in passive acoustics
Cradle
WELL BEING
ENVIRONMENT
Grave
Suspended ceiling systems play a key role in the control of the acoustical environment thanks
to their important surface and modularity.
Ceiling tiles provide a combination of sound absorption, attenuation and reduction:
Sound absorption is the part of
incident sound that is not reflected
by the tile.

Sound attenuation is the control

of sound transmission between
adjacent spaces with a common
void above them.
Sound reduction is the control
of sound generated in the plenum
or coming from the floor above.
The acoustical properties of a mineral

ceiling tile vary depending on the
combination of Porosity, Thickness
and Density. The following table
shows the impact on acoustical
performance when increasing each of
these parameters.
Armstrong offers a wide range of

densities and materials combining the
necessary acoustical performances
with an extensive range of visuals.

To meet acoustical regulations for furnished

but un-occupied spaces
The trend for fine-tuning of

acoustics on-site is growing, for
instance:
- Occupants growing expectations
for a more comfortable and healthy
environment taking into account
the need for optimal intelligibility,
confidentiality and concentration
to meet their day-to-day reality.
- Re-configuration from closed
to more open spaces in offices,
schools, hospitals, introducing new
constrains around communication,
privacy and disturbance.
- Use of new communication
technologies, like tele-conference
or audio supported presentations,
needing an adapted environment.

Acoustical fine-tuning to meet on-site levels of performance

in occupied spaces
This has lead to new phenomena

of retro-fitting existing spaces.
Armstrongs involvement
is continually growing by working
with end-users, space-planners
and acoustical consultants to fulfill
the acoustical needs.
Some ways to achieve the required
results are:
- Replacing an existing passive
ceiling by one with other acoustical
characteristics.
- Adding independent passive ceiling
elements, like canopies for spot
acoustics.
- Introducing active acoustics.
All these critical re-configurations

are more labour intensive and more
expensive than if they are considered
from the beginning of a project.
In general, standard passive ceiling
solutions are chosen during the project
design and commissioning and
fine-tuning is only done at a later stage.
In order to reduce the installation
cost and to speed up the process.
Armstrong recommends being involved
as early as possible in the design and
construction lifetime.

PUBLIC ADDRESS
High quality music and intelligible

marketing messages in the retail
environment help retain customers
and improve sales. By aesthetically
matching the ceiling, sound panels
minimise visual distraction, keeping the
customer focused on product. Other
environments include: Retail banking /
Supermarkets / Auditoria / Showrooms
/ Cafeterias.
Today's office, retail, healthcare,

Education environments very often
integrate a public address system.
As far as safety is concerned, there is
also a growing trend to design building
evacuation through a voice message
(voice alarm), generally considered
to be less stressful and more efficient
than traditional horns. Armstrong ceilings support both standard public address and voice alarm applications with
excellent levels of intelligibility whilst
maintaining the ceiling's aesthetics.
SOUND FIELD
Achieving comfortable acoustics in

learning environments can be a real
challenge... If the classroom does not
meet specific criteria for reverberation times and intelligibility levels, the
teacher may suffer from voice strain
causing a higher rate of absenteism
whilst pupils may suffer from uneven
learning conditions from front to back
row. Armstrong ceilings provide a high
performance voice reinforcement system (Sound Field) for equal levels of
intelligibility across the classroom.
SOUND MASKING
Today's office space design trends

favour higher proportions of open plan
spaces and use of glazed partitions
for closed offices, resulting in poor
acoustical conditions and affecting
the occupants' well-being. Armstrong's
exclusive in-ceiling Sound Masking
solution increases speech privacy
and reduces noise annoyance whilst
maintaining the ceiling's aesthetics.
*Active acoustics are NOT a standard offering in India
MUSIC MASKING
Open plan layouts in retail banking and

healthcare environments have triggered
new acoustical issues linked to speech
privacy. How can customer details and
conversation content be kept private
when waiting areas are in direct line of
sight of the clerks' desks? Armstrong
ceilings diffuse uniform levels of background music (Music Masking) providing a virtual acoustical barrier between
acoustically sensitive zones.

AIR QUALITY
PARTICLE CLEANLINESS CLASS OF THE AIR
Air quality has become a general

concern, from a minimal level of
cleanliness in offices, schools, hotels
etc, to a very high level of control in
hospitals, clean-rooms and associated
controlled environments as well as in
food-prepare areas.
In a clean-room environment, the

renewal of air into a space must
maintain the air quality and particle
cleanliness class of that room.
Any construction element, including
ceiling tiles, should not negatively
impact upon this.
In Aerospace, Nano-metric, Optical
or Micro-electronics industries,
the limitation of particles in the air
guarantees the good quality of the
finished products.
In industries directly related to the
human being, like Pharmaceutics and
Bio-chemistry, the control of
bio-contamination is critical.
Medicine and vaccine should be
protected against contamination from
Limitation of dust and microbial

development has become critical.
Armstrong ceilings do not favour the
development of fungi/mould or yeast
and the products can be used in any
general area.

BIOGUARD
For applications where bacteria are

a big concern, Armstrong offers
Bioguard. The special paint-finish
actively combats the strains that land
on the surface of the tile and reduces
rapidly its number to avoid aerial
contamination. This control is of critical
importance in the healthcare sector to
limit the number of hospital acquired
infections, responsible for thousands
of deaths each year throughout the
world.
Armstrong has tested the Bioguard
paint against a wide range of bacteria
(gram+, gram-, entero-, sporal),
moulds and yeasts:
- Escherichia coli (E Coli)

Washability
This is an ASTM D-4828 test. The washability test evaluates a ceilings ability
to withstand washing. The test uses the washing action of a sponge and a non
abrasive soap. This test measures a ceiling surfaces resistance to repeated wash
cycles. Ratings are based on either the ability of the surface to withstand up
to 500 wash cycles without breakthrough, or the extent of abrasion.
Stain resistance
This test uses 3 familiar liquids: tea, coffee and cola. The test demonstrates the
ceiling surfaces excellent resistance to staining. Several drops of the staining liquid
are applied to the surface. After 30-60 seconds the surface is wiped with a damp
cloth. The stained area is rated a 1 for no visible stain to a 5 for severely stained.
Water repellency
This test demonstrates the ceiling surfaces resistance to water penetration.
Several drops of water are applied to the surface. The shape of the water
droplet demonstrates how well the surface repels the water and resists water
penetration.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
The frequency and method of cleaning of a ceiling varies from one application to another. All products can at least be
cleaned with a dry cloth or vacuum cleaner.

REACTION TO FIRE
The harmonisation of technical

standards within Europe, and the
integration of EN13964 (Suspended
ceilings Requirements and test
methods) into national legislation,
means that there is now one series of
harmonised European test methods
and classifications for the reaction to
fire of suspended ceilings.
These new reaction to fire Euroclasses
replace the old national test methods
for showing the performance of ceilings
in order to meet national building
regulation requirements for internal
linings. As reaction to fire is one of

the essential safety requirements
identified for suspended ceilings, the
Euroclass classification is one of the
mandatory elements on the CE mark
for suspended ceiling tiles and steel
angles.
The Euroclasses rate from A1 through
to F, as shown in the table opposite,
with A1 being the best reaction to
fire performance and F the worst.
Each member state then sets the
performance level required for different
areas and building types within their
own building regulations.

Depending upon the reaction to fire
test(s) conducted, the rating may
include an additional classifications for
smoke production and flaming droplets.
Smoke and flaming droplets are
regulated in some European countries.
Smoke production is rated from s1
(the least smoke produced) to s3
(no limit to amount of smoke produced).
Flaming droplets is rated from d0
(no flaming droplets) to d2 (no limit
to flaming droplets).
STRUCTURAL FIRE PROTECTION
Throughout Europe, there is a

requirement for a buildings structure to
be protected from fire. This is primarily
for the structure to remain stable
during a fire to allow the occupants to
escape and also to enable fire fighters
to work without threat of the buildings
collapse. The duration of the required
protection will usually depend upon
the height of, and location within, the
building (i.e. typical floor, basement,
roof construction etc), whether
there is any active methods of fire
protection (sprinklers etc) and the type
of construction to be protected (steel
beams, timber or mezzanine floors etc).
A fire protecting suspended ceiling
system is one of several important
methods of providing the fire protection
which fire degradable elements of the
structure require. Ceilings can be used
to enable a floor construction to meet
the duration of protection required by
the building regulations that it could not
necessarily provide on its own.
There are many national test methods
for establishing the structural fire
protection performance of a suspended
ceiling system, however, there are
also several European norms which
are acceptable in most European
countries, although there is not yet one
test method which is acceptable to all
member states.
34
The complete construction and

assembly of the test installation is
important to the success of the test,
and Armstrong test many ceiling tiles
for their structural fire performance, but
always on Armstrong Trulok steel angle.
There are many other details of the test
construction that must be understood
and adhered to. These include:
- main runner and hanger centres
- the type of top fixings and how the
hangers are attached to them
- the minimum depth of the ceiling void
- what % of the floor design load is
tested
- whether ceiling tile hold-down clips
were used.
Therefore a full version of the fire test
assessment and/or report should
be obtained and carefully studied.
These details must be included in the
installation if the tested performance is
to be realised and they should be taken
into account when writing specifications
for ceilings intended to provide
structural fire protection.
Untested products may be assessed by
reference to the product attributes and
comparison to similar tested products,
provided this is supported by an
assessment report from a recognised
fire expert and should be provided with
the base test report that details how the
product should be installed to achieve
the assessed performance.
The location and type of various service

elements such as lighting fittings,
smoke detectors etc, are infinite
and the designer and installer must
satisfy themselves that they can be
integrated without reducing the tested
performance of the ceiling system. This
will usually require a test report from the
fitting manufacturer or an assessment
issued by the fire authorities. Without
these documents the designer or
installer may assume an everlasting
responsibility for the fire safety of the
building and occupants.
As products may be modified or
retested it is essential that their validity
is always checked prior to installation.
This will ensure that ceilings perform
to the standard required by legislation.
All Armstrong test reports, certificates
and assessments are freely available
on request. A full document is always
needed and must be read and any
limitations understood. Abridged
versions must be regarded as
undesirable as they will not show the
full test details and construction.

Post installation
The building can remain unoccupied following the ceiling installation. Therefore all precautions must be
taken to prevent condensation which could damage the ceiling. Air conditioning should be provided at the
minimum level to protect the installed product. If necessary a study of the thermal conditions should be
made to establish the dew point and need to ventilate the ceiling cavity.
CLEANING
Maintenance operations on the

suspended ceiling must only be done
after the technical impact on the
ceiling has been completely evaluated.
Armstrong ceilings do not need more
maintenance than a normal painted
ceiling. However when cleaning is
necessary some precautions must be
taken to preserve the technical and
aesthetic features of the ceiling.
Dust and superficial dirt can easily be

removed with a soft brush or by use
of a vacuum cleaner. In this case use
a nozzle designed for textile surfaces
and do not brush in one direction only
to avoid ingraining the dirt into the
ceiling surface. Pencil or similar marks
may be removed with a rubber eraser.
A lightly dampened cloth or sponge
can also be used but take note:
REPLACEMENT OF TILES AND PANELS
REPAINTING THE CEILING
Substantial damage to the ceiling

tiles or panels can be corrected by
installing replacements. However new
products may show a colour variation
when compared to the old. In this
case it is better to use replacements
from another existing area which is not
visually significant and locate the new
tiles or panels there.
Most acoustical mineral fibre ceilings

can be repainted without loss of
acoustic performance if the following
conditions are observed:
- Spray application is the most popular.
It is economic and can cover non-flat
surfaces better than by brush or roller.
- Roller is adequate for flat surfaces
- The fire reaction performance of
TYPE OF PAINT
PRECAUTIONS
Whatever the application method,

the paint used must be of the highest
quality. In the case of water based
paints, the manufacturers instructions
regarding thinning and application
should be followed.
When repainting acoustical products,

take care not to block or seal
perforations or fissures otherwise
the performance could be adversely
affected.
For both the installation and removal of
suspended ceilings care must be taken
to avoid generation of excessive dust.
The same applies to entry through the
ceiling into the void via access panels or
by removing tiles.
Tiles should be cut with a sharp craft
knife of electric tools. If the latter they
must be used with a vacuum dust
extractor and suitable protection
masks should be worn if the dust
concentration exceeds 5 mg/m3.
- Never use abrasive products

- Ceramaguard and Newtone are
100% RH and can be washed
without risk.
- Some companies specialise in
chemical cleaning solutions. These
should only be undertaken after
a test on a small hidden area of the
ceiling proves acceptable.
the face surface can be affected by

repainting.
- If the steel angle has to be repainted,
tiles must be removed beforehand.
- Due to their composition tiles with a
scrimmed or laminated surface i.e.
Ultima, Optra, Bioguard, Mylar etc.,
are not suitable for repainting.

TILE MOUNTED SERVICE FITTINGS
Smaller service fittings (downlighters,

smoke detectors, sprinklers,
loudspeakers etc) if required to be
integrated in the ceiling, will have
to be installed within the ceiling tile.
Mineral tiles in particular, are not
capable of sustaining weighty fittings
without permanent damage and failure.
In most instances the load of such
fittings must be distributed by use of
either a ceiling pattress or else by being
independently supported.
The following generic details show
how service fittings may be integrated
within the ceiling tile and have their load
transferred on to the steel angle.

B - Ceiling Tile
C - Steel angle Profile
D - Downlighter
E - Smoke Detector
Notes:
- The above details are only indicative. It is the responsibility of the specifier or contractor to ensure that the fittings
can be supported without damage or excessive deflection of the tiles and steel angle.
- A pattress may be formed from gypsum board or similar thin rigid sheet. It is essential to ensure that the material
chosen has a fire reaction performance equivalent to that of the reverse face of the ceiling tile.

SERVICE INTEGRATION
TILE MOUNTED SERVICE FITTINGS
Ceiling layouts often include linear

(continuous) lighting systems for
both functional and aesthetic
reasons. Integration of this type of
lighting into a modular exposed T or
semi-concealed plank ceiling steel
angle system is possible and there are
several alternate ways in which it can
be accomplished.
1. The linear/modular lighting is a continuous (independently supported) lighting trough located between areas of
modular ceiling steel angle. Alongside the edge of each trough are main runners that form the boundary of the modular
ceiling which will be comprised of either tiles or planks.
2. The linear lighting is a continuous (independently supported) lighting trough located between areas of modular ceiling
steel angle. The edges of each trough are turned out so as to form a ledge upon which the ceiling system, comprised of
tiles or planks, is supported. SL2 planks may be able to span between the lighting troughs without the aid of intermediate
support. With this system spacer bars or similar ties will be needed to ensure that the spacing between parallel troughs
is maintained.
INSTALLATION
Notes:
The above details are only indicative. It is the
responsibility of the specifier or installer to ensure
that the lighting fittings are compatible with the
ceiling system and that the fittings can be supported
onto the steel angle without damage or excessive
deflection.

PARTITION CONNECTIONS
Partitions may be mechanically fixed to

Armstrong ceiling steel angle in order
to provide lateral restraint and also
effect an efficient acoustic seal. Various
methods are available depending upon
the steel angle being used and the
need for and frequency of partition
relocation.
Partitions should never be 'hung' from
the ceiling but merely located against it by
means of suitable bolts and clips, some
of which are available from Armstrong
and shown in the following details.

or Prelude 24
Notes:
- Partitions which are subject to horizontal static or
dynamic loads may require additional bracing. This
may be achieved (as shown in the above detail) by
using steel angles which are mechanically fixed
to the steel angle section and then secured to a
suitable point of structure above. The angle formed
between the bracing and the horizontal plane should
not be greater than 45degrees. Two bracing angles
are normally required to provide opposing lateral
restraint.

often has a requirement to reflect
the building module into the ceiling
design, allowing flexible segmentation
of the interior.
In combination with the existing
attributes of Ultima, Ultima planks
provide a solution for this demand,
as well as being suitable for use
in corridors.

OPTRA RH 95
Tiles & Planks
Optra is a glass fibre ceiling solution for
high acoustic spaces with glass fibre
(Optra FG) and rockwool (Optra RW) as
core material.
The ideal product for modern office
environments, its excellent sound absorption properties (high NRC of 0.9
up to 1.0) helps in creating noise free
open plan offices, cafeterias, or any
other places where too much noise can
be disruptive. This improves comfort
and increases productivity by reducing
ambient noise.

Its fine textured white surface makes it

an ideal solution in terms of aesthetics.
To provide an excellent mechanical
strength, all products have a fibre glass
fleece at the back. All board and tile
edges are painted to avoid dispersion
of fibres, ensuring longer life. In addition, Optra ceilings are available in a
large variety of size, colour, pattern and
edge detail combinations.

GRID COORDINATION
MicroLook : For better coordination between grid and tile
use of Suprafine 15 mm steel angle system or Silhouette is
recommended.
Concealed Grid System - SL2: The WoodWorks SL2 ceiling range
provides a monolithic visual by hiding the steel angle system.
24 mm face Prelude 38 with spacer bar steel angle system is
recommended.
Wood, the most beautiful and vivid material for interior decoration,
will become your favored choice for exclusive projects in Retail
& Entertainment, Hospitality, Restaurants, Offices, Conference
Rooms, Specialty Stores.
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to obtain the best decorative effect, we advise you to
follow the points below: 1. Display all the panels before fitting
2. Arrange them aesthetically with regard to their shade and grain.
3. Install the ceiling tiles/ planks/ wall panels accordingly.
With each order, it is recommended to allow for some extra panels
to accommodate for visual variations.
PERFORATIONS
For improved acoustical performance, several perforation options
are available upon request such as diameter and percentage
of perforations. Armstrong introduces the Helmholtz resonator
perforation pattern in 3mm dia face pattern and grooved wall
panels to increase the acoustical performance.
Mineral Ceilings and Wood tiles can be integrated to create
excellent speech and listening qualities in any room, i.e. a sound
reflective ceiling in plain wood tiles mixed with absorbent material
can be utilized to optimize reverberation times.

SECURITY
MetalWorks products are naturally strong

and impact resistant. For additional security,
Armstrong Vector and Clip-In products can
be secured to their supporting metal angle
structures making them suitable for areas
where preventing unauthorised access to the
ceiling plenum is a requirement.
SEMI-STANDARD DETAILS
The ability to integrate building

services equipment is a major feature
of METALWORKS. Metal tiles can be
engineered with cut-outs, apertures
and special details to accommodate the
proliferation of services utilised in todays
modern building projects.
Whether the specifier selects a standard
metal tile or a more customised solution 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 METALWORKS facilities enable
METALWORKS 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.

detailing. Recessed light fixtures can be

easily integrated into this system. Cellio is
particularly ideal for refurbishing projects
where a 15 mm exposed metal angle is
already in place or in large areas where a
perfect cell alignment is required. Cellio
integrates easily with AxiomTM perimeter
solutions and enables design of floated
ceilings.
Offered in 75, 100, 150 and 200 mm cell
sizes. All cell configurations exceed the

minimum 70% open area required for
installation below sprinkler systems with
outlet heads mounted in the ceiling void.

INSTALLATION
EASY TO INSTALL AND DEMOUNTABLE
The flexibility of the Suprafine 15 mm

exposed metal angle system, together with
Cellios variety of open cell sizes, makes
integration of services such as lighting,
All Cellio items are installed on Suprafine 15

mm metal angle. Each individual full Cellio
panel is easily removable from the metal
angle.
sprinklers and air grilles easy.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
Cell alignment is maintained throughout

the ceiling area, despite frequent removal
and replacement, due to the stable
framework provided by the Suprafine
suspension system.
Careful selection of acoustic overlays,

which may be laid onto the Cellio panels,
will result in noise reduction benefits
to meet a broad range of requirements.
FIRE AND MOISTURE RESISTANCE
Made of prepainted aluminium, Cellio

systems achieve fire reaction class
A2-s2, d0 and can be used safely in areas
of temporary high humidity.
Usage is not recommended where
subject to external weather conditions.
Note: Lock-in option is available on request.

Its simple to install with these easy steps:

How to install the Seismic
Separation Joint Clip.
Step One: Install suspension system
completely, in a conventional manner.
Step Two: Decide upon which run(s)
of Main Runners to create the seismic
separation. NOTE: the Seismic Joint
Clip allows for cross-tees to move
along the axis of the cross-tees.
NOTE: Divide 232 m2 by the length
of the run of mains in metres. The result
will be the maximum spacing, in metres,
for the separation joint. Round this
result down to the nearest 1.2m
increment when mains are installed
1.2m on center.
Step Three: Attach two adjacent
sides of each section of the divided
ceiling to the structure. Where these
sections touch the wall the
attachment may be by riveting to the
wall molding or by means of the
BERC2 clip with a tight screw.
Sections that do not touch walls on
two adjacent sides must be braced to
structure.
Steps 1-3
Step 4
Step 6
Step 5
Step 7
Step Four: Cut XL through the end

details of cross-tees inserted into
Main Runner designated for the
Seismic Separation. NOTE: This
should be done one intersection at a
time or the steel angle system will
fall apart.
Step Five: Assemble the two sides of
Joint clip into one unit.
Step Six: Snap completed assembly
over the bulb of the Main Runner at
the intersection of the cross-tees.
Step Seven: Insert a 6mm long #10
screw through slot in clip, into the
upper XL clip stake hole. Use vertical
stamp mark below the horizontal slot
to properly position the screw within
the clip. Install one screw from each
side of the assembled clip to hold the
proper shape. Do not allow screw
threads to strip out the stake hole.

Technical Reference
Installation
Acoustical ceilings that are unsatisfactory in
appearance are often the result of poor application
or disregard of the manufacturers instructions.
Here are a few recommendations to consider when
designing with and specifying an Armstrong ceiling
system.
Jobsite Conditions
Before Armstrong ceiling materials are installed,
the units (ceiling panels or tile) should be permitted
to reach room temperature and have a stabilized
moisture content. They should not, however,
be installed in spaces where the temperature
or humidity conditions vary greatly from the
temperatures and conditions that will be norml
in the occupied space (exception: RH 100
performance ceiling tiles). Some Armstrong ceiling
materials are more abuse-resistant than others. It

is not good practice to locate acoustical ceilingtile
or panels on low wall or ceiling surfaces where
they might be damaged. Dirty air can soil any
ceiling, although ULTIMA and OPTRA have superior
resistance to soiling. Proper design for both supply
air and return air, and maintenance of the HVAC
filters and building interior space are essential to
minimize soiling. Before starting the HVAC system,
make sure supply air is properly filtered and the
building interior is free of construction dust.
Temperatures and Humidities
During Installation
Acoustical materials are interior finish products and
are designed for installation to be carried out in
temperature conditions up to 86F (30C) in spaces
where the building is enclosed and HVAC systems
are functioning and will be in continuous operation.
There shall be proper ventilation of the plenum
in high moisture areas. All plastering, concrete,
terrazzo or any other wet work should be complete
and dry. All windows and doors should be in
place. The heating, ventilating and air-conditioning
systems should be installed and operable, where
necessary, to maintain proper temperatures before,
during and after installation of the acoustical
material. Note: The preceding restrictions do not
apply to ceilings with RH 100 performance. one
side, always install the vapor barrier in the down
position facing the back of the ceiling panel. If
the use of batt insulation is required, limit use to
600x600mm panels (use only non faced batts
maximum R-19).
Thermal Insulation Mineral Ceilings
The use of overlaid insulation placed on, and
supported by, mineral ceiling panels is not
recommended. The additional weight supported by
the panel could result in panel sag in high humidity
conditions. If job requirements are such that
insulation is necessary at recommended occupancy
conditions, limit such insulation to a maximum of
.1.18 kg/m2(R-19 Fiberglass). Only roll insulation is
recommended and must be applied perpendicularly
to the cross tees with the grid supporting the
weight of the insulation. For roll type insulation
that either has a foil or kraft paper vapor barrier on
Thermal insulation should not be installed on the
back of Fire Guard panels in a fire resistive ceiling
membrane unless so designated in the specific
UL roof/ceiling or floor/ceiling design assembly
assigned to the structure; i.e., P265 or P250.
Fiberglass Ceilings
Armstrong fiberglass ceiling panels are
recommended for use when additional thermal
insulation is required to be overlaid on the back of
the ceiling panels. Specific limitations apply. Please
contact TechLine for specific fiberglass backloading
recommendations.
Selecting Lighting
When selecting any type of lighting, it is important
to evaluate the fixtures (lighting system) and ceiling
panels or tile as components that work together
in an integrated system. Important considerations
include both initial and long-term costs, energy
consumption and perhaps even the lighting
systems potential impact on worker effectiveness
within the space. It is also always advisable to
consider the effect it will have on the appearance
of an acoustical ceiling. Unfavorable ceiling
appearance may be produced by light striking the
ceiling surface at small angles. This condition most
frequently occurs with ceiling edge lighting from
fixtures, cove lighting and/or high windows. This will
accentuate minor surface variations that are beyond
the control of manufacturing standards for mineral
fiber. Further, minor differences in paint gloss often
are magnified by these conditions. Mitigating the
problem is best handled at the lighting source with
proper shading, diffusing and/or light redirecting

devices.
Maintenance
Armstrong Ceiling Systems require no more
maintenance than painted DRYWALL ceilings.
However, when maintenance is necessary, certain
procedures should be followed to insure continued
high performance and attractive appearance. Dust
and loose dirt may easily be removed by brushing
or with a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaner brush
attachments such as those designed for cleaning
upholstery or walls do the best job. Be certain to
clean in one direction only. This will prevent rubbing
dust into the surface of the ceiling. After loose
dust has been removed, pencil marks, smudges,
or clinging dirt may easily be erased with an
ordinary art gum eraser. However, a good grade
wall cleaner may be preferred. Be certain to use
fresh cleaner. Most Armstrong mineral fiber ceilings
may be cleaned with a moist cloth or a sponge
dampened in water containing mild soap. (This
does not apply to cloth-faced ceiling panels.) The
cloth or sponge should contain as little soapy water
solution as possible. After washing panel face, any
moisture remaining should be wiped off with a dry
cloth. Bioguard, Ceramaguard ceilings, and Clean
Room FL (Mylar) -faced ceilings are less affected by
moisture and will withstand repeated washings with
mild detergents or germicidal cleaners.
Painting Recommendation
Precaution
Armstrong recognizes that ceilings may be
repainted and will make recommendations for the
type of paint that may be used. However,
Armstrong cannot be responsible for the finished
appearance or performance for the field-painted
acoustical material. Armstrong cannot guarantee
that the published surface burning characteristics,
fire resistance ratings, acoustical performance,
dimensional stability (sag), or light reflectance will
remain the same after repainting. All warranties
will be voided by field painting. When painting
acoustical materials, the painter should be
very careful that he/she does not close up the
perforations or fissures in the material. It is through
these openings in the surface that sound waves
enter the body of the acoustical material and
are absorbed. Care should be taken that these
perforations are not clogged. Spray painting will
result in a more uniform coating on embossed or
irregular surfaces. For best results, panels should
be removed from grid suspension system, laid flat
for painting, and allowed to dry thoroughly while
still flat before reinstallation. This method eliminates
the costly operation of masking walls and covering
furniture. It also provides for easier cleaning and/
or repainting of the grid while the panels are
being repainted. Field painting of laminated faced
products is not recommended. The variations
which are possible in field-painted applications
could affect fire performance.
Painting Method
First remove loose dust from the material with a
brush or vacuum cleaner attachment. Thin the
paint only as much as necessary. If it is too thick
for proper spraying, care should be taken that
it is thinned only as recommended by the paint
manufacturer. When spray painting, apply the
paint with a stream directed perpendicularly to
the surface of the material, moving the gun back
and forth to get a uniform coating. Under normal
conditions, one coat should be sufficient.
