ARMSTRONG’S COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Our environmental efforts in the life-cycle of our products start with design.

DESIGN MANUFACTURING
• Innovative design creates stronger sections. • Suspension system Main Runners and Cross Tees are rotary stitched
• Reuse of waste materials by a patented method to deliver extra strength and stability.
• Raw materials for ceilings are renewable and abundant in nature. • All in process scrap is recycled back into the process.
• Recycled content varies by product: • Suspension systems and panels are manufactured at several
- Suspension system - contain 25% post-consumer recycled content locations, thereby reducing transportation costs and
environmental impacts associated with transportation.

RECYCLE INSTALLATION
• Suspension systems contain up to 25% post-consumer recycled content • Integrate technology to reduce installation time.
• End of Life ceiling tile recycling scheme. • Optimised packaging material - less waste on site.
• Up to 100% of the packaging is made from recycled material.
fi In several countries, we support the recollection of packaging.
RETHINK PRODUCTS

BRE BUILDING RESEARCH ESTABLISHMENT
At Armstrong, we’re proud to be a recognised pioneer in green
practices, with successful methods to produce environmentally
preferable products, prevent pollution and reduce waste.
We’re the only UK mineral ceiling manufacturer with a BRE
Ecopoint profile – an external certification of our compliance
with ISO 14041 and ISO 21930 standards. Our Ecopoint
score in 2007 was 0.10, a significant improvement on
2004, and we’re working on lowering it even further.

THE SUSPENSION RANGE
The suspension systems
include a full range of
solutions for all ceiling
suspension requirements.
• General applications, a range of standard Prelude 24mm and Prelude 15mm grid systems, Bandraster
and Prelude Sixty2for longer spans. Drywall Grid Systems are available for plasterboard ceilings.
• Designer optionsincluding the minimalist grid Silhouette, Microline, Interlude and the Axiom range.
• Specific applications, for clean room and higher humidity environments.
• Perimeter trims and accessories, for most applications.
We also include our comprehensive programme of special size options that is available in most ranges.
A range of either stab or hook systems are available to meet the mechanical preferences of the installer.
To complete the portfolio we also offer a technical test programme that provides fire, loadings and
environmental accreditation.
Suspension systems are designed for use with a wide variety of Armstrong ceiling products, mineral, soft
fibre, metal, wood and special solutions.
Peakformis an innovative design for Main Runners and Cross Tees. The taller Peakform profiles are
engineered to create a stronger, more stable suspension system making installation both faster and easier.
Superlockis an industry first staked-on clip for Main Runners which provides tighter, secure bulb-to-bulb
connections; connections are confirmed by an audible click; Main Runners are easily disconnected and
reconnected laterally.

PRELUDE UNIVERSAL MAIN RUNNER

The Prelude Universal Main Runner supports the installation of either
hook/butt cut or stab/override Cross Tees from one simple inventory of Main
Runners. The universal system is available in Peakformdesign in both 24mm
and 15mm widths.
The PeakformUniversal Main Runners feature a firm, quick and easy
assembled Main Runner to Main Runner / bulb-to-bulb connection. Metric
sized Main Runners are slotted at 100mm centres for more flexibility. Slots are
machined to receive positive and accurate assembly of either Prelude TL and
TLX (hook installation) or Prelude XL2(stab installation) Cross Tees.
The staked-on Superlockclip allows for Main Runners to be disconnected
and reconnected laterally in low-clearance areas or in the middle of a room.

WHERE INNOVATION MEETS PERFORMANCE
SEISMIC Rx® SYSTEM
Armstrong Seismic Rx® System is a fully and independently
tested approach to achieving ceiling installations that can
withstand the forces associated with significant seismic activity
or other severe events.
In addition to earthquakes, there are several other industries with
associated risks (e.g. Blast protection) where the use of Seismic Rx®
System will provide additional protection for the ceiling e.g.
• Nuclear installations
• Defence establishments
• Chemical installations
• Transport installations(with intermittent vibrations)
The Seismic Rx® system provides the additional security required for
seismic resistance using specifically designed elements for minimised
installation complexity with maximum performance.
