In 1999, Armstrong Ceilings in
the United States introduced
the industry’s first ceiling
recycling programme. To date,
worldwide, we have recycled
over 8 million m2 of old ceiling
material. That’s more than
40,000 tonnes of construction
waste that’s been diverted from
landfills.
■ End-of-Life recycling
programme: we offers a free
collection programme for
refurbishment /strip out projects
of 2000m2+, of used tiles
whenever it is environmentally
and economically viable to do
so. The ceiling tiles are 100%
recycled into the mix and are
processed into new ceiling tiles.
■ off-Cut recycling
programme: in UK and France,
we offer an Off-Cut recycling
programme that diverts waste
during the installation process
from going to landfill.

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.
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

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.
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.
High light reflectance ceilings
also enhance indirect lighting by
improving overall lighting uniformity,
returning up to 90% of the light
back into the space, compared
to 75% with standard ceilings.
• A light reflectance of 90% and
more allows 20% of cost savings
with indirect lighting, and can yield
total building energy savings
up to 11%.
• Canopies installed in the work

aCCreditation - Bre (uK)
As the worlds foremost producer of
suspended ceiling systems, we know
how important it is to be transparent
in regard to the impact our operations
have on the environment.
Claims are easy to make but difficult
to substantiate without an independent,
universal measuring system.
BRE initiated a scheme compliant
with ISO 14041 which provides
Environmental Profiling, allowing
end users and manufacturers
to assess the environmental
performance of selected products.
Starting in 2004 we commissioned
BRE to profile our UK ceiling and grid
manufacturing facilities and products.
BRE assess this impact using an
‘Ecopoint’ score based on a product’s
raw materials and manufacturing
processes. These are then measured
against key criteria, including climate
change, mineral extraction, ozone
depletion and waste generation. Our
rating was 0.16 Ecopoints giving a
lower environmental impact compared
with BRE’s generic norm of 0.22
(based upon 1m2 of 600 x 600 ceiling
panel and Trulok grid). At that time
the “Green Guide to Specification”
included suspended ceilings and
this resulted in an ‘A’ rating – the best
available.
BRE’s system of profiling has since
progressed to reflect the needs of
developing European and International
standards. It now complies with
ISO 21930, the forthcoming standard
for analysing the impacts of
construction products. Therefore,
during 2007 we updated our
Environmental Profile using BRE’s
new methodology and are delighted
that our Ecopoints rating of 0.16 has
reduced to 0.10 Ecopoints.

Until a standardised method for
profiling products is agreed within
the European Union, there will
be many approaches to better
understand the environmental impact
of products. An approach used in
France, that is currently expected
to mirror a European approach is
through the development of FdES
(Fiche déclaration Environnementale

generated through this procedure
is utilised in the HQE (Haute Qualité

To meet acoustical regulations,
it is generally sufficient to provide
the performance measures in
unoccupied spaces, without
office equipment switched on.
Acoustical regulations usually
recommend values to be achieved
for reverberation times (within
a space) and sound insulation
(between spaces or from outside
the building).
This approach isn’t 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, as for example group
discussions, ringing phones, copier
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 acoustic quality of a room
in a building is governed by major
design criteria which require close
monitoring:
■ Intelligibility
(I want to be understood),
■ Confidentiality
(I do not want to be overheard),
■ Concentration
(I do not want to be disturbed).

For a balanced acoustic environment, Armstrong recommends a two step approach:
1 ■ use passive acoustics
• to absorb sound within a space and block sound between spaces or coming from outside the building.
2 ■ use active acoustics
• to cover remaining un-wanted noise
• to raise the level of speech and overcome intelligibility issues
• to play music
• to provide intelligible public announcement.

definition
i-ceilings sound panels are a range
of state-of-the-art flat panel
loudspeakers designed to
aesthetically match Armstrong
ceiling tiles and lay directly into
the ceiling grid.
Sound panels deliver voice,
music and active acoustics,
an electroacoustical room treatment
that enhances intelligibility,
confidentiality and concentration
levels in occupied spaces.
An acoustical retrofit consists of fine
tuning the acoustical performance
of an existing space to meet the end
users' desired levels of intelligibility,
concentration and confidentiality.
When relocating a business to new
premises or reconfigurating an existing
office plan to suit new organisational
requirements, acoustics must be taken
into account as early as possible in
the design process. Integrating
acoustics and space planning will
allow to achieve a good balance
between space optimisation and
occupants' comfort levels for more
productive working environments.
The acoustical performance of a
space is set by its size, the room
surface materials, furniture and
background noise. An acoustical
retrofit will therefore consider:
• changing existing surface materials;
• complementing the existing room
configuration with discontinuous
ceiling solutions (Canopy range);
• complementing the passive
acoustics with an active acoustics
solution (i-ceilings)
Office space planning is a balance
between optimising the area
available and producing a comfortable
and productive working environment.
Armstrong recommends that acoustical
fine tuning be considered as early
as possible in the design scheme.

Plasterboard ceilings or exposed
concrete soffits can create a
very reverberant space which, in
combination with today's office interior
design trends with extensive use
of glass partitions, impacts negatively
on concentration levels.
Existing suspended ceilings do not
always meet the stringent acoustical
requirements set by such applications
as call centres. Treating sound directly
above workstations, whilst also
contributing to lowering the overall
reverberation time, is then key to
enhancing levels of concentration and
confidentiality.
Under challenging architectural and
acoustical configurations, retrofitting
an existing ceiling with lightweight and
design acoustical absorbers
or "canopies", can trigger a 180
degree shift in the perceived quality
of the space, higher comfort levels
and an increase in occupant
productivity.
Canopy solutions may further
be complemented by wall treatments
and active acoustics by Armstrong.

Sound reduction
A single-number rating for random incidence sound

in accordance with EN ISO 354, are converted into
octave bands at 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000Hz
and are plotted onto a graph. A standard reference
curve is then shifted towards the measured values in
steps of 0.05 until a “best fit” is obtained. The derived
value of a w will vary between 0.00 and 1.00 but is only
expressed in multiples of 0.05, eg a w = 0.65.

* Estimated
1) All SRI tests have been conducted in an independent third party quality assured laboratory in accordance with EN ISO 140-3 with the ceiling suspended horizontally
between two vertical transmission suites. Mineral tiles were 600x600 Board (square) edge in a Prelude T24 grid.
2) Rw values are determined in accordance with EN ISO 717-1.
3) Values for Standard Perf (16% open area) are estimated as being not less than Micro Perf (22% open area).
4) Armstrong conducts extensive and regular acoustic tests on its ceiling tiles and planks. Inevitably slight variations occur over a range of results for the same product.
The results above do not necessarily represent the highest achieved but indicate values that can be consistently and confidently offered.
Rain noise - the acoustic performance of Armstrong ceilings with a lightweight roof construction
EN ISO 140-18:2006 is a test method for determining the sound
intensity level of a radiating surface due to rainfall. Armstrong
tested a lightweight roof construction, with ‘heavy’ intensity rain
as defined in the standard, and then re-tested with a suspended
ceiling below. different ceiling tiles were tested and the results are
shown in the table below. The performance values given below
show the intensity of sound radiating into the room below the roof
(and ceiling) constructions. Therefore, unlike dnfw and Rw data,
where the higher the value the better insulation provided, the best
performing ceiling tiles are those which have the lowest intensity
levels, as less sound energy has penetrated into the room below.
The results shown give the combined performance of the roof
and ceiling constructions. Any change in the roof construction
performance will affect the combined roof and ceiling
performance. We have therefore shown the improvement
in dB that each of the ceiling tiles provided compared to
the roof construction on it’s own.

1) All tests have been conducted in an independent third party quality assured laboratory in accordance with EN ISO 140-18(2006).
2) The one-third octave band intensity values given are unweighted measurements in dB.
3) The roof construction was a 158mm deep profiled steel liner tray with 200mm insulation and an aluminium standing seam waterproof membrane.
4) The ceiling void depth between the top of the liner tray and the reverse of the ceiling tiles varied between 400mm and 700mm due to the pitch of the roof.
5) Armstrong conducts extensive and regular acoustic tests on its ceiling tiles and planks. Inevitably slight variations occur over a range of results for the same product.
The results above do not necessarily represent the highest achieved but indicate values that can be consistently and confidently offered.

The air penetrating the
Clean Room can be filtered
depending on the size of
the undesired elements.
Air can be recycled up to
60 times per hour for the total
volume of the space.
New air is also introduced
to avoid a build up in the
concentration of CO2 and
maintain enough oxygen
for the people working there.
Operators in a clean room
have to wear equipment such
as a clean room suit, hair
cover, gloves, shoe-protection,
or mask.
There are 2 types of rooms:
• rooms with over-pressure,
to avoid pollutants from
entering (dust, bacteria,…)
• rooms with negative
pressure, to avoid various
contaminants from escaping to
the outside (viruses, bacteria,
spores,…).
Building materials used in
such spaces shall not have
a negative impact on the
pursuance of cleanliness and
should preferably contribute
actively to a better
environment.
Clean room
A clean room is a space or a series of spaces where the concentration
of particles is controlled in order to minimise the introduction, generation,
retention of particles inside, generally for a specific industrial or research
objective, as well as in healthcare environments. Parameters such as
temperature, humidity and relative pressure are also maintained at a precise
level, as defined in ISO 14644-1.
• Clean rooms are classified ISO 1 (cleanest) to ISO 9 depending on the
number of particles measured.
• The performance is tested to ISO 14644-1 which determines the particle
cleanliness class. Although US Federal Standard 209E has been officially
withdrawn, it is continuously used as a reference.
The following table shows the equivalence between the 2 standards.

FIRE
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 classifications,
or ‘Euroclasses’, are made in
accordance with EN13501-1:2007.
The ‘Euroclasses’ replace the old
national fire reaction ratings for showing
the performance of ceilings in order
to meet the Construction Products
directive and 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 grids.
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 building’s 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 building’s 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, as well as several European
norms which are acceptable in most
European countries. The performance
achieved during testing will be classified
in terms of the duration of protection
given, typically this in accordance with
EN13501-2:2007 for European tests.
However, there is not yet one single
European test method which
is acceptable to all member states.
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
22
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.
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 grid.
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.
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.
This document is based on a large
number of fire tests conducted on
various Armstrong ceiling tile and grid
types. It provides an assessment of
the performances attainable when
various Armstrong tile and grid systems
are installed in accordance with the
appropriate base fire test and the
permitted installation variations from
that base test.
The tables opposite give a summary
of the performances achievable as stated
in the assessment document and are
correct at the time of going to print.
As products may be modified
or retested it is essential that their
validity is always checked prior
to installation. therefore, the current
version of the assessment document
173816 and the relevant base test
report should always be consulted
prior to the installation of a floor
construction to be protected by
an Armstrong ceiling system.
A full document is always required
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.

TECHNICAl GlOSSARy
Fire reaction
National Building Regulations (where applicable) require that
buildings meet the appropriate Euroclass fire reaction performance
depending upon the area of application. Armstrong products have
been tested to the harmonised European fire reaction standards and
meet the minimum performance criteria. Many Armstrong products
have also been tested for their fire resistance performance under
various floor constructions. See page 22 for more information on
how ceilings can create a safer environment
Light Reflectance
High levels of light reflectance from suspended ceilings can contribute
significantly to maintaining the correct levels of illumination for all
interior environments, as well as helping to reduce excessive electrical
energy consumption. Armstrong conducts extensive tests of light
reflectance on a wide range of its products, in accordance with
EN ISO 7742-2 and 3 (as specified in EN 13964) and ASTM E1477,
by third party accredited laboratories. The light reflectance values
indicated on each product data page are as determined by these
tests.
Acoustic Performance
The occupant of a space, be it an office, a classroom, a shop,
or any similar environmental needs:
• Intelligibility – to hear and to be understood
• Confidentiality – 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 attenuation, and can be
supplemented by the use of active acoustics. See page 17 for more
information on how acoustics can create a better environment.
Anti-Microbial Performance
The control of bio-contamination is essential in the healthcare sector,
especially in hospitals and clinics. Armstrong ceilings 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. See page
20 for more information on how ceilings can create a healthier
environment.
Sound Attenuation
Is the control of horizontal sound transmission through a suspended
ceiling and common void located above adjacent spaces.
Air Quality
Armstrong offer a number of specific tile and grid solutions to limit
the number of airborne particles in a clean room environment. These
products are tested against ISO 14644-1. See page 20 for more
information on how ceilings can create a cleaner environment.
Sound Absorption
Is the control of reflected sound, provided by the suspended ceiling,
within a space.
Class A
Thermal Conductivity
The ever increasing commitment to energy conservation, dictates
that buildings should be as energy efficient as is compatible with their
function, use and as specified in national building regulations. Interior
building products which can form part of the external structure, such
as suspended ceilings beneath a roof construction, can contribute to
minimising the loss of heat to the exterior by reference to their thermal
conductivity values. Armstrong conducts extensive tests of thermal
conductivity on a wide range of its products, in accordance with
EN 12667 (as specified in EN 13964) and ISO 8301, by third party
accredited laboratories. The thermal conductivity values indicated
on each product data page are as determined by these tests.
European Sound Absorption Class
A single-number rating for random incidence sound absorption
coefficients as calculated by reference to EN ISO 11654.
Sound Reduction
Is the control of vertical sound transmission through a suspended
ceiling located above a space.
Rain Noise
Is the intensity of sound (LIA) generated by rainfall on building
elements, such as lightweight roof constructions, which radiates into
the room below.
Scratch Resistance
Superior level of surface scratch resistance, evaluated with the Hess
rake test.
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 offer a wide range of standard
products suitable for installation in conditions of up to 95% and 99%
relative humidity, as well as specialist products which excel in extreme
conditions of up to 100% relative humidity.
The following table demonstrates the relative humidity resistance
in relation to classes of exposure according to EN 13964.
24
Class
Conditions
A
Building components exposed to varying relative humidity up to 70%
and varying temperature up to 25°C but without corrosive pollutants
B
and varying temperature up to 30°C but without corrosive pollutants
C
and varying temperature up to 30°C and accompanied by a risk of
condensation but without corrosive pollutants
D

Product Handling & Durability
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.

Cleaning and disinfection
The frequency and cleaning method of a ceiling varies from
one application to another. All products can at least be cleaned with
a dry cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Ce marKing
what is it ?
CE stands for Conformité Européenne, which
translated literally, means “European Conformity”.
The CE mark is a products “passport” for
entry into the EEA (European Economic Area)
and indicates that the product complies with
the requirements of the applicable European
directive.
■
Wipeable with a dry cloth.
Wipeable with a moist cloth.
Washable with a sponge dampened in water containing

Can be cleaned with disinfectants commonly used in
Healthcare premises.
Air Leakage
The cavity above a suspended ceiling may be used as part of
the mechanical air distribution system, when it is used as a supply or
extract plenum, and the air pressure in the plenum will be either positive
or negative in comparison to the pressure in the room below. Similarly
for ‘Clean Room’ applications, where it is most important to prevent
the ingress of airborne dust contaminants, the room will be at positive
pressure to the surrounding areas. Alternatively, to escape the egress
of pathogens the room may be kept at a lower pressure relative to the
surrounding areas. In these situations, it is necessary to know how much
air leakage occurs through the ceiling system as a result of the pressure
differential. Armstrong conducts extensive tests of air leakage on a wide
range of its products, in accordance with EN 12114 and EN ISO 13829,
by third party accredited laboratories. Please contact your local
ATS/MSC centre for further details of these results.
Air flow
When using Metal perforated metal suspended ceilings, the cavity above
may be used as part of the mechanical air distribution system when it
is used as a supply plenum. With this arrangement the air pressure in
the plenum is always positive in comparison to the pressure in the room
below. Specific tiles can be selected as open (active), and these will
become air diffusers, while the remaining tiles will have their perforations
blocked (inactive). In this way the air flow supply volume to the room can
be controlled and balanced dependent upon the pressure differential and
the air change requirements.
Armstrong conducts extensive tests of air flow on a range of its more
common Orcal products, in accordance with EN 12114 and EN ISO
13829, by third party accredited laboratories. Please contact your local
ATS/MSC centre for further details of these results.
For construction products the European directive
is the Construction Products directive
(89/106/EEC).
The CPd identifies the essential requirements
for products (and total projects) such that they are
fit for intended use as:
• mechanical resistance and stability;
• safety in case of fire;
• hygiene, health and environment;
• safety in use;
• protection against noise;
• energy economy and heat retention.
For suspended ceilings, the way in which we
must test and communicate performance for
these essential requirements has been defined in
a new standard published in the “Official journal”
EN 13964 Suspended Ceilings –
Requirements and Test Methods.
what does this mean?
This standard identifies how the ceiling
components must be tested against the
essential requirements to identify a performance
classification. It also indicates how the
manufacturer must ensure that their products
maintain these levels of performance on an
ongoing basis.
■
On 1st july 2007, it became mandatory for
all suspended ceilings and accompanying
suspension systems (in the scope of EN 13964)
to carry the CE mark and the accompanying
essential requirement test information.
From 1st july 2007, onwards, non-CE marked
materials are no longer saleable into the EEA.

ArchitecturAl And environmentAl trends
Design trends are a direct result to changing
social, economical and ecological influences.
Today’s architecture is eco-responsible
and sustainable, combined with a design
spectrum ranging from “minimalist” to fully
exposed.
The consideration of energy efficiency and
environmental impact (CO2 footprint, waste,
recycled content, recyclability) of building
materials is paramount in the design and
construction phases of the building.
Interior finishes equally set the levels of
comfort and work efficiency when the space
is occupied.
Ceilings, representing the largest exposed
interior finish in a building, are a key
contributor towards defining the aesthetics,
acoustics and lighting performance of building
interiors.
Whether considering an exposed structure
that utilises the thermal mass properties
of the concrete slab or creating a wall to
wall ceiling surface, Armstrong offers ceiling
designs, materials and performances to
complement architectural concepts, ranging
from monolithic to discountinous visuals.

■ ORCAL CANOPY
■ AXIOM
CANOPY
■ INFUSIONS CANOPY
In response to new architectural trends calling for acoustical and
design solutions using exposed soffits and to address the increasing
focus on end users’ well being, Armstrong has designed a range
of discontinuous ceilings to deliver the highest quality of workplace
standards whilst supporting the original architectural concept.
Available to be designed in an exposed structure project
or to complement an existing wall to wall ceiling solution, canopy
elements may be:
■ Visually striking for a contemporary accent;
■ Aesthetically integrated and non obtrusive with an emphasis
on performance;
■ Coloured to create contrast and rhythm;
■ Shaped to coordinate with furniture;
■ Grouped to replicate key architectural features;
■ Curved to create a cocooning effect and an intimate setting;
■ Textured or microperforated to suit design themes;
■ Retrofitted under an existing wall to wall solution providing
a “destructured” visual;
■ Intelligent, loaded with technology and service elements;
■ Environmental friendly, with “no waste” on site;
■ Custom because …you are one of a kind!

ORCAL Canopy is part of Armstrong’s
extensive range of discontinuous ceilings and
canopies. The canopies come in three different
designs (flat, concave and convex) and give
the designer or specifier the ability to:
■ Create spaces or areas within larger
spaces or rooms, adding definition and
local acoustic comfort (speech intelligibility)
to an area or working zone.
■ Provide a high level of design flexibility as
the canopies come in three different designs
and can be used independently or as
groups and arrays.
The panels come with a high durability paint
finish as standard, making them easy to clean
and maintain. The canopies have an Extra
Microperforation pattern that provides
a clean visual with good acoustical and light
reflectance performances.
The canopy is fully enclosed ensuring that if
the reverse face is visible it fully compliments
the design.

Suspended ceiling systems have moved from providing mainly
functional features (masking the building’s infrastructure whilst
providing accessibility) to contributing on a much greater scale
to the interior design, acoustics and overall environmental impacts
with such innovations as tech Zone. daylight optimisation with
high ceiling tile light reflectance values has led to the increasing
consideration of whiter and larger modules with finer textures.
Aiming at minimising aesthetical intrusions in the ceiling plan,
Armstrong has further developed vector, an edge detail producing
a concealed grid and more monolithic look. In spaces where eye
catching visuals are the main drive, Armstrong’s research in designer
grids has also exciting new avenues to generate rhythm in the ceiling
plane with the Interlude range.
non laMinated
decorative
this classic range of products provides a blend of performance, quality
and affordability for which the Armstrong ceiling brand is famous.
the range of dUNE finishes highlights the core line of ceilings from
Armstrong. these finely textured visuals, either plain or perforated,
provide good levels of sound absorption and sound attenuation.
Our latest ‘MAx’ versions of both SAHARA and CIRRUS offer
increased levels of absorption whilst the SAHARA dB range
provides high levels of sound attenuation.
the Armstrong decorative range recognises that there are many areas
within a building where a designer or end user would like to express
a theme, or use the ceiling to create added interest within a space.
From the modern geometric designs of the GRAPHIS range or by
using colour such as the COLORTONE ranges through to the subtle
CIRRUS texture and designs, Armstrong has a wide range
of designs and colours to help sculpt the light in a space.

OPtIMA is a low density product with glass
wool as core material. Its white and strong
surface is obtained by the application of
an abrasion resistant paint on a glass fibre
face scrim. the Board edges are painted to
avoid the dispersion of fibres. to provide
excellent mechanical strength, all products
have a fibre glass fleece at the back and the
tegular & MicroLook edges are reinforced
and painted.
OPtIMA provides the highest levels of
sound absorption with an aw up to 1.00.
this makes it an ideal product for open
plan offices, cafeterias, or any other places
where too much noise can be disruptive.
Its fine textured white surface, similar
to the ULtIMA finish (see p. 47), makes it an
ideal solution in terms of aesthetics.
Furthermore, OPtIMA provides high light
reflectance and good cleanability.
the vector edge detail results from
Armstrong’s advanced technology.
It conceals the grid and gives the impression
that tiles are freely suspended from wall to
wall.In addition, OPtIMA ceilings are
available in a large variety of size
and edge detail combinations.

NEEvA is a low density product with rock
wool as the core material. the face scrim
is made of glass fibre with a bright white
paint. the product is also available in
eight trendy colours.
the Board edges are painted to avoid
the dispersion of fibres.
tegular and MicroLook products are
reinforced due to a higher density
and the strong paint on the edges which
improves the mechanical strength.
All products have a fibre glass fleece
on the back to add additional strength.
NEEvA achieves excellent sound
absorption with an aW up to 1.00.
Many size and edge detail combinations
offer extensive design opportunities.

* HTM 60 category 1 calls for a smooth, imperforate and jointless soffit. Where access is required Armstrong propose a Clip-In concealed grid ceiling with the joints filled with an
appropriate flexible silicone mastic to provide a ‘jointless’ solution.
** High pressure water cleaning solution is using METAl Clip-In Plain.
Note: For swimming pools and other potentially aggressive environments, there are many variables in the overall design that can impact the suitability of installed materials.
Please contact our Internal Technical Sales for further information.

This low density product has rock wool
as core material. Its reinforced glass scrim
surface and sealed edges provide an
ISO 5 cleanroom performance and make
the product suitable for high pressure water
cleaning (max 80 bars)*.
Thanks to the acoustically transparent face
scrim and low density base board, the
product achieves a 0.95 aW.
* The application must be in the form of a fan spray
of min 30° angle and not a high pressure “cutting” jet.
The suggested minimum distance between the nozzle
and the ceiling tile should not be less than 300 mm
and the angle of projection should be 45°.
PARAFON HYGIEN should be installed with Trulok
Corrosive Resistant 24 mm grid and be clipped for high
pressure water cleaning.

CERAMAGUARD is made of a unique high
density ceramic and mineral composite.
This material provides 100% RH resistance
including standing water and is resistant
to chemical fumes.
The product is durable, washable and
scrubbable.
It’s a totally inorganic product, resistant
to growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
CERAMAGUARD provides good sound
absorption and is ideal for swimming pools,
locker rooms, shower areas and indoor
parking garages.
Note: Cermaguard must be installed on Trulok Corrosive
Resistant 24 mm (CR 24 mm) grid where humidity regularly
exceeds 95% RH.
CERAMAGUARD may need to have main runners at
600 mm centres due to increased weight in high humidity
conditions.

NEWTONE is a hydrated calcium silicate
ceiling tile particularly suitable for use
in areas subject to extremes of humidity
and temperature.
In addition it is ideal for use in industrial
or semi-exposed locations or where
condensation and resistance to damage
are important considerations.
In all environments where humidity conditions could
regularly reach and/or exceed 90% RH we recommend
the use of our Trulok Corrosion Resistant grids and
associated accessories.

All METAL Ceilings products are designed
for simple and economical installation
on standard exposed systems or purpose
designed grids supplied by ourselves as part
of our service package.
In addition to offering a range of different
module sizes to suit different room scales
and building modules, METAL Ceilings also
offer a range of 1/2 module tiles and part
tiles. If more flexibility of design is required
then Armstrong can offer fully engineered
and custom designed METAL Ceilings for
special projects. For more information about
our capabilities, please contact Internal
Technical Sales.
METAL ceilings offer a full range of plank and
tile metal ceiling options:
• Standard tiles for installation in conventional
grid systems,
• Flexible size plank and tile where modules
must be adapted to the needs of building
layouts and aesthetics,
• Choice of perforation pattern, and also
open Cell with our Cellio offer.
All METAL Ceilings are manufactured to meet
or exceed EN 13964:2004 + A1:2006. Full
details of technical specifications see page
104.
102
Products are finished with a durable,
electrostatic factory applied polyester
powder coat.
securIty
METAL Ceilings products are naturally
strong and impact resistant due to their steel
construction. For additional security,
Axal Vector, Q-Clip, R-Clip, T-Clip F,
R-H 200, R-H 215 and R-H 220 products
can be secured to their supporting grid
structures making them suitable for areas
where preventing unauthorised access
to the ceiling plenum is a requirement.
Q-Clip, R-Clip and R-H 200 products
can also be back coated and secured
for use in semi-external areas.
semI-standard detaIls
The ability to integrate building services
equipment is a major feature of METAL
Ceilings 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 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 METAL Ceilings facilities enable METAL
Ceilings 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.

METAL Ceilings products have been tested for acoustical absorption
and attenuation performance. All perforated products can be supplied
complete with acoustic infill material factory fitted. For most general
open plan areas, non-woven acoustic fleece provides a good level
of absorption performance. The acoustic fleece fitted to METAL
Ceiling tiles is heat bonded to the rear of the tile and optimises flow
resistance characteristics. All perforated items can be delivered with a
black acoustic fleece. Alternative acoustic infills are available, such as
the standard B15 infill and aluminium foil black tissue faced (AFBTF)
acoustic pad which are available upon request. For further information
please contact Internal Technical Sales.
As part of the range of acoustic inlays for METAL Ceilings, Premium
B15 acoustic solutions have been developed to achieve a wide
range of performance values for both sound absorption and sound
attenuation. For example, room to room attenuation of up to Dncw
47dB, and sound absorption of up to aW 0.65. For further information
please contact Internal Technical Sales.

DESIGN & CUSToMISED SoLUTIoNS
Tartan Grid
Tartan grid systems are designed for large rooms
in which a longitudinal and transverse sub-division is
required. Various partition walls can be easily installed
and removed under frames and enable individual
square or rectangular room designs. The grid effect
can be additionally emphasised with appropriate
colouring of the crossing boxes and trim strips.
Decorative accents can be set with pyramid or large
area panels or also emphasised with lights.
Armstrong offer large possibilities of design & customized solutions. Please contact internal Technical Sales for further information.
Corridor Ceilings
Corridor ceiling systems use rectangular panels which are
fixed to the side walls perpendicular to the walking direction.
100 % of the ceiling cavity can thus be used for installations
such as ventilation channels or cables. The individual ceilings
elements can be easily disassembled at any time and thus
ensure optimum access to the ceiling cavity.
Floated Ceilings
Based on a clear modular concept, the D System opens up
a new segment in the ceiling sector. The individual ceiling
canopies meet the highest standards of acoustic qualification,
both for the entire room and also for creation of acoustic
focal points. Lighting of all types can be integrated into the
canopies and thus underline maximum system flexibility.
Vertical Baffles
Vertical baffle systems are the ideal combination of perfect
sound absorption and attractive design. This ceiling
system is particularly suitable for rooms with a high sound
level such as entrance halls, airports, restaurants or
machine rooms. Also with regard to additional functions
such as air conditioning, lighting etc., this aesthetic ceiling
cladding allows almost limitless design possibilities.
CeLLio Ceilings
CELLIo, Armstrong’s open cell metal ceiling, is suitable for
all types of areas and is available in a number of cell sizes.
The monolithic appearance of CELLIo is achieved by the
integration of the grid into the ceiling design.
This concept allows for unlimited design scope and flexible
functional benefits. Detailing at the junction of wall and ceiling
is a good example of this flexibility.
CELLIo is particularly ideal for refurbishing projects where
a 15 mm exposed grid is already in place or in large areas
where a perfect cell alignment is required.
Linear Grid
Linear-grid systems, used especially in office complexes,
are designed for large rooms with flexible partitioning. Partition
walls can be easily positioned and moved within the grids.
Visible support profiles set striking accents, a line is visually
emphasised. Rectangular panels combined with different
lighting make extremely cost-effective, efficient lighting
possible and also offer many possibilities of visual
and functional interior design.
116
Wall Claddings
The main advantages of the wall cladding systems
are the variety of designs and applications and the
simple assembly and disassembly. The system range is
characterised by their simple planning, versatile uses and
impressive appearance in any shape of room.
Areas of application: as acoustic elements and
architectural design elements.

Description
GriD coorDination
Wood: the most beautiful, natural element you can find in the world
for interior decoration, is available from Armstrong. Wood will enable
you to create the most original and warm interiors. Whether plain or
perforated, paper laminate or wood veneer, you can select the precise
texture and colour best suited to your project
Wood will become your favoured choice for exclusive projects
including conference rooms, lobbies, offices, department stores,
restaurants, speciality shops, waiting and music rooms.
Armstrong wood tiles are 600 x 600 mm in MicroLook, SL2 and Vector
edge details. They are made with a medium density fibreboard (MDF)
or chipboard base material with either a natural wood veneer or printed
laminate surface. The surface is plain or perforated with an acoustical
black tissue fleece on the back.
Conditions of installation
Wood tiles should be unpacked and stocked flat in an environment
that is closed and not humid. Wood tiles should always be moved
with care. Before installation, it is recommended to open the cartons
and stack the tiles flat for 3 to 8 days in the room where they will
be installed in order to stabilise the tiles in their future environment
and conditions of use. Possible dimensional variations in a humid
environment are those from typical wood-based tiles i.e. the differential
between the driest and the most humid conditions can be up to
5 mm/m. The installation of Wood tiles should take place during
the last phase of the job, in closed, and sometimes heated, rooms.
No additional work potentially increasing the level of humidity in the
room should be undertaken after the tiles are installed (concrete and
plasterboards should be dry). Wood tiles should never be installed
in rooms whose relative humidity is greater than 80% at 20°C.
The optimum installation conditions are reached when the room
temperature is between 12 and 24°C for a relative humidity between
45 and 70%. In rooms where relative humidity is kept below 45%
or above 70%, additional care should be given for installation.

■
■
MicroLook: For better coordination between grid and tile the use
of Prelude 15 mm in black, rAL 9006 and brown is recommended.
For a special accent on design, Interlude may also be considered.
The elegant visual of Silhouette in black is an excellent option,
providing an aesthetically enhanced support grid with specific
benefits where partition head locating positions are required.
SL2: The MADerA SL2 ceiling range provides a monolithic visual
by hiding the grid system and is available in the same finishes as
MicroLook.
Vector: The Vector edge detail works with a traditional 24mm
exposed grid, the tiles cover a large part of the grid creating an
elegant 6mm reveal to each tile which gives a monolithic appearance
to the ceiling.
For improved acoustical performance, 5 perforation options are
available. Alternative finishes and perforations are available on request.
Further enhancements in speech and listening conditions can be
attained by mixing Wood tiles with performance mineral tiles such as
COLOrTONe DUNe and NeeVA
Installation recommendations
MADerA Veneer ceiling tiles are made with natural wood veneers.
As they are natural products, their colour and structure regularity
cannot be guaranteed. In order to obtain the best decorative effect,
we advise you to follow the points below:
1. Display all the tiles before fitting.
2. Arrange them aesthetically with regard to their shade and grain.
3. Install the ceiling tiles accordingly.
With each order, it is recommended to allow for some extra tiles
to accommodate for visual variations, as it will be very unlikely
that similar looking tiles can be ordered later.
■
WOOD
Additional capabilities
If required on a job site, cutouts can be factory made upon special
request. Additionally, other veneers and laminates are available
on a special order basis.

“stab” installation
“hook” installation
“hook” installation
Prelude XL2 Cross Tees in both 24 mm and
15 mm widths feature an advance stab
system that locates with an audible “click”,
ensuring a solid installation at all times.
The stab end is precision stamped from
a separate piece of high grade steel
permitting an increased accuracy and
economy of production over the more
conventional integral forming of the Cross Tee
ends. The Cross Tees are inserted to the right
of each other through the Main Runner slots
and easily pushed home.
Prelude TL Cross Tees in 15 mm widths
feature an integrally formed hook nose.
This popular installation system has been
a feature of Armstrong Trulok suspension
systems for over 20 years and its proven
ease of assembly and precise butt cut joint
has been a favourite of installers. Cross Tee
alignment is ensured by locating the Cross
Tee to the right hand side of the adjoining
section.
The patented TLX clip is a new highly
engineered staked-on hook detail designed for
24 mm cross tees.
Its unique steel-based composite material
and shape provide a stronger and level
connection, an improved fire performance
and an increased overall stability.
TLX Cross Tees are quicker and easier to cut
due to the Peakform section. When the TLX
Cross Tees are inserted to the right of each
other through the Main Runner slots, the TLX
clip provides a more secure installation.

INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
Safety
Storage
Installation
The material must be stored flat and isolated
from the ground in a location which is not
subject to excessive humidity or precipitation.
Follow the 5 successive steps and illustrations
(eg for a 600 x 600 mm exposed grid ceiling):
Armstrongs commitment on safety concerns
each and every step of our business:
. in our plants & offices, we have implemented
rigorous safety policies and procedures
to help minimise risk
. for our products, for which we ensure
compliance with appropriate European
and local safety regulations.
. on the jobsite, safety is crucial for our
partners: Armstrong therefore recommends
the handling, installation & maintenance
of our solutions in accordance with the
Standards and / or regulations, for the safety
of the installers & of the end users.
1. Mark the Perimeter Trim Lines
Determine the ceiling height and level
at the perimeter with a suitable levelling
device and draw a (blue) chalk line.
NB: the minimum height of the ceiling
cavity has to be 100 mm.
Installation
In any case and for the entire range of
products, the installation must be carried out
only if the following conditions are satisfied.
1. Plaster and cement surfaces must be dry.
2. All service fittings integrated within the
suspended ceiling must be independently
supported from the ceiling grid by
a structure designed for the purpose.
3. Any thermal or acoustic insulation overlays
must be rigid and supported by the ceiling
grid or, if soft and laying onto the ceiling
tiles, must not exceed 3 kg/m2 ie glasswool
roll.
4. When the ceiling is installed under a roof
space, a study of the thermal conditions
should be made with regard for the need
of thermal insulation, vapour barrier,
ventilated roof space etc.
■
■
For products up to 70% RH, Wood
& Metal, the relative humidity must
be maintained at no more than 70%
for a temperature of 20°C. The ceiling must
not be subjected to infiltration of water.
For all the products that are 95% RH
and above the following conditions must
be respected:
2. Installation of Perimeter Trims
Fix the perimeter trims with fixings suitable
for the structure at not more than 400 mm.

Preparation of the ceiling layout
Establish a plan of your ceiling. General rule: layout the ceiling so that perimeter tiles are
in excess of ½ a module.
NB: according to the dimension of the cut tiles the central axis of the ceiling will either
be in the middle of a row of tiles or at their edge.
. The reference mark Y corresponds to the first whole tile.
Begin the layout so that the main runners are every 1200 mm apart and hangers are every
1200 mm along the main runners.
3. Installation of Hangers
Establish the location of the top fixings
(1200 x 1200 mm centres) and fix with
regard to the soffit material and load
to be carried. Engage the threaded rod into
the top fixing and with bottom nuts ready
to receive the suspension clip. Alternatively
use Quick-Hangers with top and bottom
rods bent over.

5. Installation of Tiles
a. Engage the tiles into the grid by lifting
them diagonally upwards through the
grid before being laid down onto the grid
flanges.
NB: Vector edged tiles are only engaged
from below the grid.
1. The room must be enclosed and the
relative humidity maintained at no more
than 95% during the installation.

4. Installation of Main Runners & Cross
Tees
a. Engage the suspension clips onto the
main runner and slide along.
d. Every 600 mm connect a 1200 mm
cross tee into the rout holes of the main
runner and lock them against the adjoining
cross tees. Then position the 600 mm
cross tee in the rout holes in the centre
of the 1200 mm cross tees to obtain a
600 x 600 mm layout. Cut perimeter cross
tees with snips.
d. Cut and reshaped edges of mineral fibre
tiles should be done with a sharp craft
knife.

POST INSTALLATION
TILE INSTALLATION
The building can remain unoccupied following the ceiling installation. Therefore all precautions must be taken to prevent
condensation which could damage the ceiling. Heating 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.

Standard lay-in installation on 24mm or 15mm exposed suspension
system for Board, Tegular or MicroLook tiles.
*reduce to 450 if heavy tile / overlays are used or heavy
service fittings are located near the perimeter.
Maintenance and cleaning
cleaning
precautions
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:
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.
ma
replaceMent of tiles and
panels
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.
. Never use abrasive products
. Ceramaguard and Newtone are 100% RH
and can be washed without risk.
. Parafon Hygien can be high-pressure
washed but only with regard of certain
conditions. Please contact Armstrong office
for details.

. 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.
type of paint
repainting the ceiling
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.
Most ceiling tiles and grids can be
redecorated, however consideration should
be given to the appropriate type of paint
to be used and to the effect on the reaction
to fire and acoustic performance.
Redecoration by spraying is the preferred
method, using the minimum amount of paint
applied in an even manner. Ceiling tiles should
be removed from the grid and laid on a flat
surface prior to painting, whilst grid can be
painted in situ, but with tiles removed.
Tiles should only be moved or replaced once
dry and the grid must be dry before replacing
the ceiling tiles.
If a professional firm of decorators is used,
assurances should be sought that the
necessary performances will be maintained.
It should be noted that any repainting would
invalidate Armstrong’s warranty for the
product.

SERVICE INTEGRATION
SERVICE INTEGRATION
tile Mounted service fittings
recessed Modular
lighting 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.
Armstrong grid systems are primarily
designed to carry the distributed load
of the installed tiles. However in certain
circumstances the load due to lighting and
air distribution fittings may also be supported
directly onto the ceiling grid. But great care
must be taken to avoid overloading which
could result in excessive deflection and/or
twisting of the grid.
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 three generic details show
how service fittings may be integrated within
the ceiling tile and have their load transferred
on to the grid.
The third shows that it is possible for
a low weight small halogen lighting fitting
to be supported directly on the tile.

Halogen Spotlight
The following generic details show how
service fittings may be integrated within
and supported on the grid. It is essential
for the specifier to investigate the
compatibility of chosen fittings and tile
systems so as to ensure unhindered site
integration.
1. Exposed Grid
Weight transferred to the grid BULB by minimum of two continuous or four discreet support
arms.
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 grid.
. 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.
2. Exposed Grid
Weight transferred to the grid FLANGE by minimum of two continuous support arms.
XL2 grid will provide more resistance to eccentric bending.
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 grid system
is possible and there are several alternate
ways in which it can be accomplished.
1. The modular exposed tee ceiling grid is continuous and the linear lighting is integrated by substituting
individual fittings in place of ceiling tiles in a linear pattern. With this method it is likely that the lighting fittings will
be supported on the ceiling grid. If the ceiling module is 600 x 600 and the lighting fittings are 600 x 300, then it
will be necessary to create a half module layout in one direction with one of the tiles in each module site cut to a
600 x 300 size.
3. Semi-Concealed Grid (Vector Edge)
Weight transferred to the grid BULB or to the FLANGE by minimum of two continuous or four
discreet adjustable support arms. Fitting frame dimensions must take account of Vector module.
2. The linear lighting is a continuous (independently supported) lighting trough located between areas of modular
ceiling grid. 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.
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, in the case of example 1, that the fittings
can be supported onto the grid without damage or
excessive deflection.
142
3. The linear lighting is a continuous (independently supported) lighting trough located between areas of modular
ceiling grid. 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.
Notes:
. No fittings should share common main runners
or cross tees.
. Dynamic fittings such as ducted air diffusers should
be independently suspended and not connected
directly to the grid.
. Information on acceptable service fitting loads is
available in the Trulok Suspension Systems brochure
or from your local internal technical sales centre.
4. Semi-Concealed Grid (SL2 Edge)
Weight transferred to the grid BULB by minimum of two continuous or four discreet adjustable
support arms. Fitting frame dimensions must take account of SL2 module.
