Why choose island ceiling solutions?
I
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: • the need for flexible work spaces, with Canopies easy to relocate • acoustic comfort, with high levels of sound absorption from both the front and the reverse surfaces
• visual comfort, with high light reflectance for bright, energy efficient interiors
• contemporary solutions compatible with thermal mass constructions, in large open plan areas and where exposed concrete soffits are used to provide free cooling, all whilst keeping simplicity and functionality a priority.

Armstrong’s Unique Service
1 2 3 4
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 may be required at this early stage. Some are best sorted sooner rather than later!
Logistics and installation It doesn’t matter if one project uses the same products in the same way as another. It’s still unique to us and it’s still unique to the specialist contractor installing our systems. That’s why we provide them with a tailored logistics plan devised to maximise the benefits of JIT (Just-In-Time) implementation. Then, if they need us on site for additional guidance, we will deliver there too.
Maintenance and support Our customer service doesn’t end when a project is complete. Because if that project then needs adapting to some new requirements in any way or expanding, we can continue to provide fitting solutions. We partner with specialist contractors throughout the world who we rely on to help you take your project to the next stage, whether it is adaptation, expansion, repair or basic maintenance.
Welcome to our playing fields office Bright, spacious office environments make for happier, and thus more productive workers! Armstrong solutions are perfect to liven up any office, thanks to ergonomic design, enhanced lighting, and optimised sound absorption and improved sound attenuation.

Environmental commitment and certifications Armstrong recognises the importance of protecting the environment and using resources responsibly. We are committed to good environmental stewardship in our dealings with customers, employees, the government and our communities. We are systematically reducing our environmental footprint and providing products and services that enable our customers to reduce the environmental impact of the buildings they create and to provide end user comfort. Visual Comfort 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. • High light reflectance ceilings also enhance indirect lighting by improving overall lighting uniformity. • A light reflectance of 90% allows 20% of cost savings with indirect lighting and can yield total building energy savings of up to 11% compared to a ceiling with 75% light reflectance.* • Canopies installed in the workplace can improve the light reflection over a workstation and provide better comfort for the end user. *Brinjac Engineering Study: ‘Energy and Environmental Effects of High Light Reflectance Ceilings’ 2006.
Acoustical Comfort In all types of spaces, choosing the right acoustic solutions will enhance end user needs and overall comfort. With acoustics, you need to determine whether intelligibility, concentration or confidentiality is required. Armstrong acoustic Canopies can be used to control the environment to provide the optimum acoustic conditions to meet the end user requirements. This can be as part of the initial design, or as a retro-fit solution to provide spot acoustics to rectify acoustic problems in an existing space. You can choose from a wide portfolio of products such as Armstrong Canopies, standard suspended ceilings and i-ceilings sound masking products. 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.
Thermal Mass To control the thermal environment within a building, the thermal mass of the buildings structure can be utilised for ‘free cooling’. Typically the concrete slab is exposed to the room and absorbs heat from the space, reducing or even eliminating the need for air-conditioning, and therefore significantly reducing the energy usage within the building. For the thermal mass of the slab to be efficiently utilised, a complete wall-towall ceiling solution is not possible and the lack of absorptive materials can create acoustic problems. Armstrong acoustic Canopy solutions can work in conjunction with the exposed concrete soffit, allowing thermal exchange between the room air and the slab, whilst also providing acoustic and visual comfort within the space.

Manufacturing Accreditation In our manufacturing operations, not only do we continue to take care in the selection of raw materials and energy, reduce waste and embrace effective recycling methods, but we also ensure that our products conform to safety, environmental and quality standards. Our European manufacturing plants are certified to:
ISO 9001:2008 ISO 14001:2004 OHSAS 18001:2007 Product Certification Armstrong has a long history of environmental product certification, and uses these tools to better understand the environmental impact of our products. Our UK manufactured mineral tile and grid systems have been certified for nearly 10 years using BRE’s life cycle assessment methodology resulting in an Ecopoint score and a Green Guide to Specification (3rd edition) ‘A’ rating to the 2004 BRE LCA methodology. The 2008 LCA methodology saw a further reduction in the Ecopoint rating for these tiles. The Armstrong range of ceiling solutions are produced and certified in accordance with EN 13964 and are CE marked. In addition, many metal ceiling solutions have technical approvals from DIBt (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik) and are provided with a U-mark.
Memberships and Associations Armstrong is a member of both WETEC (Wet-felt Technical Committee for Construction) and TAIM (Technical Association of Industrial Metal Ceilings). WETEC was founded in 2007 and is the European central representative body for manufacturers of wet-felt mineral construction products and promotes technical, quality and safety standards and guidelines. TAIM was founded in 1988 and its primary objective is to promote quality and to set minimum quality standards and requirements for metal ceilings systems.

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 disturb the initial acoustical balance, 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. Sabine definition A Sabine is a measure of the sound absorption provided by a material when installed within an architectural space. Canopies provide greater sound absorption than a traditional wall to wall ceiling of the same face surface area because the sound is absorbed from both the front and back surfaces of the Canopy. Canopies installed in a typical ‘lively’ space will help reduce the reverberation time.
Sabine per unit is preferred to characterise the absorption provided by an individual ‘space absorber’, such as Canopies in: • Open spaces, open plan offices, retail outlets • Corridors / lobbies Factors that may affect the installed acoustical performance relative to the published results are: • Size of Canopies • Number of Canopies and their layout • Suspension distance below a finished ceiling • Location and horizontal overlap of Canopy • Ceiling tile selection (for Axiom Canopies)

Solutions for ‘Retrofit’ Acoustical retrofit solutions by Armstrong offer unique benefits: • Aesthetics: create a striking design and more intimate spaces. • Flexibility: solutions can be easily moved to suit future reconfigurations. • Functionality: act as light reflectors to minimise energy consumption. • 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, concentration and confidentiality. When relocating a business to new premises or an existing office 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 help 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.
Islands ceilings: the Armstrong solution 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 may 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 conditions retrofitting an existing ceiling with lightweight and designer acoustical absorbers or ‘Canopies’, can trigger a 180° shift in the perceived quality of the space, provide higher comfort levels and an increase in occupant productivity. Canopy solutions may further be complemented by wall treatments and active acoustics by Armstrong.
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.

Service Integration Armstrong Island ceilings, including Canopies and floating modular ceilings, need to function and coordinate with building services to provide stylish indoor environments where acoustic comfort, visual comfort, thermal comfort and safety contribute to the occupants well-being.
MINERAL / OPTIMA CANOPY Optima Canopies offer fantastic design opportunities and the central area of the products can be used for integrating small lightweight service fittings to supplement these designs. However, careful consideration of how the load is supported is required to ensure product performance is maintained. Contact Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Technical Sales team for further information.

METAL CANOPY The nature of metal allows greater opportunities for services to be engineered into Metal Canopies. However, different opportunities present themselves for the flat Metal Canopies compared to the Convex and Concave Metal Canopies. LED spotlights can readily be integrated into Flat Metal Canopies, whilst Convex and Concave Metal Canopies can play with their geometry to co-ordinate with lighting, conceal projectors.
RESIN / INFUSIONS CANOPY The translucent nature and colour palette of Infusion Canopies provides a great opportunity for designers to play with colour and light. Whilst service elements cannot be directly integrated into Infusions Canopies, there are endless ways in which innovative designs can harmonise Infusions Canopies with lighting to create exciting features. For recommended minimum distances of lighting fittings contact the Armstrong Technical Sales team.

AXIOM CANOPY Island ceilings using Axiom C or Axiom KE Canopies utilise Armstrong ceiling tile and grid systems, thus standard service elements designed for traditional wall-to-wall ceiling installations can typically be used. Axiom Canopies also allow you to play with different planes and levels to conceal and co-ordinate with services. Careful consideration of how these service elements are to be supported, especially the larger and heavier ones, needs to be carefully considered. Please contact Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Technical Sales team for further information.

technical information
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.
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. See page 12 for more information on how acoustics can create a better environment.
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 island ceilings suitable for installation in conditions of up to 95% relative humidity.
The following table demonstrates the relative humidity resistance in relation to classes of exposure according to EN 13964.
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
Building components exposed to varying relative humidity up to 90% and varying temperature up to 30°C but without corrosive pollutants
C
Building components exposed to varying relative humidity up to 95% and varying temperature up to 30°C and accompanied by a risk of condensation but without corrosive pollutants
D
More severe than the above
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.
Recycled Content Armstrong products are produced using a variety of recycled raw materials. The recycled content of individual products is indicated in our literature in accordance with ISO 14021:2004. See page 12 for more information on how ceilings can create a more sustainable environment.
Cleaning Cleanability depends on product type and material. Please see our mainline catalogue or contact Armstrong for more detailled information.
