Armstrong guide showcases ceiling design solutions

Armstrong Building Products has launched a guide to ceiling design solutions for any client brief, requirement or sector.

The A Book is a collection of case studies from throughout Europe showcasing projects in the colour-coded sectors of healthcare, education, transport, offices and retail and leisure.

Targeted at architects, specifiers and interior designers, the guide provides examples of customised solutions that have met complex interior designs, environmental solutions to sustainable strategies and contemporary canopies for modern trends.

It also focuses briefly on how Armstrong's portfolio was designed in response to interior trends such as the increased demand for large, open-plan, flexible working spaces, urban living and sustainable building solutions.

The company has met the requirement with, for example, minimal (thinner or hidden) grids for a monolithic visual, new standard shapes and sizes including curved tiles and systems that complement building services and energy-saving/thermal mass construction.

Featured case studies include the use of more than two million metres of bespoke metal ceilings in 60,000 different sizes, which also featured as impact-resistant wall cladding, at Dubai airport; Ultima canopies to maximise natural daylight and optimise acoustics in high-traffic areas at the Storey Institute in Lancaster, UK; Axiom Classic canopies to revitalise worn-out spaces and open plenums at the Bickert Backerei cafe in Germany; Bioguard Plain Microlook antimicrobial tiles to facilitate cleaning and for light reflectance at the Villa Benita clinic in Estonia; and Ultima Vector tiles and i-ceilings to reduce reverberation and background noise levels at the Ljubljana Metropolitan Library in Slovenia.

The A Book is expected to be updated on a regular basis, according to Armstrong.
