Sound Reduction and Measurement Standards
The document outlines the measurement of airborne sound reduction in suspended ceilings, referencing EN ISO 717-1 and EN ISO 140-3 standards.
Sound attenuation refers to horizontal sound transmission, while sound reduction pertains to vertical transmission. The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is defined as the average of sound absorption coefficients at specific frequencies.
Sound absorption is categorized into classes A to E, with Class A providing the highest absorption.
Detailed performance data for various ceiling products, including mineral, metal, and wood ranges, is provided.
Data on sound attenuation for different products is presented, emphasizing that ceiling tile edge details can influence acoustical performance.
The document briefly mentions clean rooms, which are spaces with controlled particle concentrations to minimize contamination.
- Clean rooms are classified from ISO 1 to ISO 9 based on particle count, with ISO 14644-1 being the standard for cleanliness.
- BIOGUARD products are designed for healthcare, achieving ISO 5 to ISO 3 cleanliness levels.
- Healthcare environments require varying clean room performances, typically between ISO 5 and ISO 8.
- Air filtration and recycling are crucial, with air being recycled up to 60 times per hour.
- Clean rooms can have over-pressure to prevent pollutant entry or negative pressure to contain contaminants.
- European harmonization of fire safety standards for suspended ceilings is detailed, with 'Euroclasses' replacing old national ratings.
- Fire performance is rated from A1 to F, with additional classifications for smoke production and flaming droplets.
- Structural fire protection is essential, with specific requirements for different building types and areas.
- Various Armstrong ceiling tiles and grid systems are tested for fire performance.
- Installation details such as runner and hanger centers, ceiling void depth, and load testing are critical for achieving tested performance.
- Ceiling cleaning methods vary, with all products being at least dry cloth wipeable.
The document provides detailed contact information for Armstrong Building Products across various regions.
The document includes a disclaimer about photographic and design elements, advising users to verify technical information with sellers.
Armstrong highlights its commitment to sustainability, mentioning recycling programs and environmental initiatives.
The document encourages users to explore Armstrong's full portfolio of products and solutions online.

Armstrong Policy & Initiatives Did You Know... Sustainable Solutions Did You Know... Armstrong helped pioneer “green” practices from as early as 1860. Our commitment to environmentally preferable products and programmes began more than a hundred years ago when the company developed a process to recycle cork scrap. The end result was a product which was introduced then and is known today, as linoleum. Armstrong Ceilings can contain up to 82% recycled content. We have the broadest portfolio of ceilings with high recycled content. Armstrong suspension systems contain 25% recycled content – the highest...

Awards & Certifications Did You Know... A ceiling with a high light reflectance, up to 90%, can extend the daylight into a space which can help to reduce the lighting energy required. You can enhance the indoor environment by improving the acoustics of the space. Visual Comfort Acoustical Comfort Thermal mass 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...

ACOUSTICAL COMFORT: From performance to acoustical comfort A wide range of solutions Acoustical treatment is not always sound absorption. The right acoustical environment is essential and the way to achieve this is to focus on: Intelligibility The Armstrong product portfolio has the ability to answer a wide range of acoustical performance requirements. For the Armstrong mineral range in particular, density is used as the key indicator of acoustic performance, and the product range can be split into ‘Standard’, ‘dB’ and ‘OP’ categories. The acoustic quality of a room in a building is governed...

ACOUSTICAL COMFORT: The role of ceilings in acoustics Did You Know... Suspended ceiling systems play a key role in the control of the acoustical environment. Acoustics is concerned with the absorption and blocking of sound within and between spaces. Sound attenuation & absorption for better INTELLIGIBILITY Balance of sound attenuation and absorption. Sound attenuation is the control of sound transmission between adjacent spaces with a common void above them. Sound absorption is the part of incident sound that is not reflected by the tile. Controlling sound absorption and sound reduction is vital...

ISLANDS CEILINGS ACOUSTICS: ACOUSTICAL COMFORT: Canopy: The Armstrong Solution The role of Island Ceilings in building interiors 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,...
