Why choose island ceiling solutions? Island ceilings allow architects and designers to balance clever and innovative design with the need for good performance. Canopies provide modern monolithic designs with no visible grid. In developing its Island ceilings range, Armstrong has taken inspiration from the challenges generated by current trends such as: • he need for flexible work spaces, with Canopies easy to relocate t • coustic comfort, with high levels of sound absorption from both a the front and the reverse surfaces • isual comfort, with high light reflectance for bright, energy...

Armstrong’s Unique Service Consulting and planning Each Armstrong project begins with an in-depth, one-on-one consultation with the specifier or main contractor. Technical support and product recommendations are made once we understand the design, functionality and performance requirements of the space. Engineering and production Working to this design brief, CAD drawings bespoke to the project are created which detail aspects such as ceiling layout, views and perspectives. These details are then used to engineer a production schedule along with any specific installation instructions that...

Acoustical comfort 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, activities...

F • Ease of installation: special direct ceiling attachment (plasterboard and grid) with Optima Canopy. What is ‘retrofit’? An acoustical retrofit consists of fine tuning the acoustical performance of an existing space to meet the end users’ desired levels of intelligibility,...
