Acoustic Solutions
Armstrong can provide product specifications for a complete range of acoustic solutions (Intelligibility, Concentration and Confidentiality) such as mineral, wood, metal tiles and canopies to invisible in-ceiling speaker systems.
We also have a number of useful acoustic tools on our acoustic micro site. A ‘reverberation simulator’ which compares the different reverberation times of various tiles to help specifiers make the best choice for their desired sound quality and a ceiling selector, complete with in-situ tile images, to assist in making decisions about style and material.
Sustainable Solutions
Armstrong sustainable innovations include the following recycling schemes:
- End Of Life (EOL) Recycling Scheme - Armstrong offers a free collection programme for refurbishment / strip out projects anywhere in the UK. The ceiling tiles are 100% recycled into the mix and are processed into new ceiling tiles.
- Off Cut Recycling Scheme (OCR) - Off-cut ceiling tiles from new ceiling installations are stored on site in specially supplied bags and collected by Armstrong to be recycled into new ceiling tiles.
- New Ceilings - All Armstrong metal ceilings are recyclable and contain up to 30% recycled material. Mineral Ceilings can contain up to 82% recycled
Armstrong Ceilings was the first European mineral tile manufacturer to win Cradle to Cradle® certification for ceiling systems that comprise high recycled content to start. It also helped pioneer ceiling recycling worldwide. Its two schemes – for ceiling off-cuts and for tiles at the end of their life divert increasingly large amounts of waste from landfill every year.
Armstrong Ceiling Solutions wins ISO 45001
Armstrong Ceiling Solutions wins ISO 45001
Manufacturer achieves certification in an impressive nine months.
Armstrong Ceiling Solutions' UK manufacturing facility has successfully migrated - in super-quick time - to ISO 45001 for its Occupational Health and Safety Management System.
The migration, which took the mineral tiles business nine months when it can take a couple of years, took place when some corners of the safety industry are changing as well as during a period of unprecedented change for the business.
Now approved internationally to BS EN ISO 45001:2018 (certificate number 517640) for the manufacture, storage and distribution of ceiling tiles and panels for use in suspended ceiling systems, certification is a feather in the cap for the production facility at Team Valley in Gateshead.
While some processes under the former OHSAS 18001 certification remain the same, such as risk assessments, the new standard has focused on a greatly enhanced participative, collaborative and inclusive approach to Health and Safety management.
At a time when it has seen substantial investment in employees and new equipment on the horizon, Armstrong chose to shift some of their focus from the low-severity, high-frequency slip-and-trip type risks toward high-severity, low-frequency risks such as machine isolation, which if not recognised could result in fatal or life-changing injuries.
The company is also planning the roll-out of a pilot scheme where they created teams of people ranging from shop floor workers to senior management for dedicated areas such as working in confined spaces, emergency preparedness and vehicle and pedestrian movements. They are expected to meet six times a month.
The increased focus on high-severity, low-frequency risks was also reinforced with reminders to shop floor workers that their ideas on how operations could be improved from a safety perspective were now even more critical.
Organisational context exercises were held to determine internal and external risks and opportunities for the business regarding Brexit, in-house investment, and new products and equipment, while a new audit process helped identify "drift" in areas where Health and Safety performance might show concerns before accidents and injuries occurred.
Audited independently by the BSI, the Team Valley site, which now employs more than 100 people, achieved a migration score of 92%.
Armstrong's EHS manager Ken Mudd said: "We saw ISO 45001 as an opportunity to undertake a critical review of how we had been operating before, what was working well, and what we can include given our new approach and direction for Health and Safety. I think it is a fantastic achievement, especially for the plant to have done so in the space of nine months. It is testament to all the people here and their active engagement in safe operations."
Armstrong Ceiling Solutions launches new online product catalogue.
Armstrong Ceiling Solutions launches new online product catalogue.
Manufacturer goes online for the latest in its series of product catalogues.
Armstrong Ceiling Solutions has released its new mineral ceilings and suspension systems catalogue as an online flip book for ease of use and on-the-go accessibility.
The 106-page catalogue provides complete technical and product information on the manufacturer's market-leading mineral ceilings and full system solutions, as well as its range of floating ceilings and options for specific applications - arming specifiers with all the information they need to make educated design decisions when specifying ceilings for new-build and refurbishment projects.
Kicking off with a product selector performance table that makes selection of acoustic mineral tiles super-simple, this ethos is carried through with a suspension systems product selector for quick and easy selection of compatible grid systems and concludes with an acoustical technical glossary detailing all the necessary acoustic performance considerations.
The catalogue reinforces Armstrong's 150-year pedigree with information on the manufacturer's smooth and white Ultima+, Perla, Sierra, Optima, Neeva and Plain ranges as well as Dune eVo, the first tile and grid system to gain Cradle to Cradle® Certified accreditation. All are available in multiple acoustic densities for total acoustic control and design flexibility. Classic tiles showcased include Fine Fissured and decorative tile options comprise the Colortone range.
Cradle to Cradle certification is explained along with Armstrong's environmental commitment and pioneering ceiling recycling programme which saves contractors money by diverting waste from landfill.
Mineral solutions for specific requirements include anti-microbial Bioguard, Clean Room certified Parafon Hygien and Clean Room FL, and humidity-resistant Hydroguard and Ceramaguard while suspension systems include one resistant to corrosion.
Floating ceilings which open up an almost endless range of dramatic design possibilities and provide greater sound absorption than that of a traditional wall-to-wall ceiling include the Axiom range of square, rectangular, circular and curved canopies.
Suspension systems detailed within the catalogue include exposed and semi-concealed solutions for high design requirements, as well as those suitable for the integration of services, high load levels and special requirements such as corrosion, seismic resistance and Clean Room compatibility. Perimeter trims and accessories include edge profiles and transitions, blind boxes, and angles and channels for ultimate design flexibility.
As part of the objective to make the catalogue as informative as possible, it features an at-a-glance cleaning matrix, reaction to fire advise and references to the manufacture's recommendations for installation and maintenance. More detailed information on these can be found on Armstrong's new website www.armstrongceilingsolutions.co.uk.
The new mineral ceilings and suspension systems catalogue also updates readers on Armstrong's social media presence via Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube.
