Armstrong Acoustic Ceiling Tiles -- What Are They and How to Install Them

ARMSTRONG ACOUSTIC CEILING TILE

Armstrong Suspended Ceiling Tiles
The seismic ruggedness of an Armstrong suspended ceiling was recently demonstrated by shake table testing. ANCO Engineers Inc., a company that does vibration testing, proposed the test program to document the seismic performance of the new ceiling system during simulated earthquake motions, which may occur in the Western United States.

Armstrong Tin Ceiling Tile
Consider putting in faux tin tiles if you’d like to hide cracks or other damage in your ceiling, or if you just want a new look for the top of the room. Steps:

Measure the ceiling first so you'll know how many tiles to buy.
Make a scale drawing of the room, and overlay it with a grid to help you determine the proper layout for your tiles.
Mark the corners of the ceiling to show where the first row of tiles will be installed along the back wall. Then drive a nail at each mark and stretch a string across the room to use as a reference.
You can begin cutting and placing your tiles after the reference strings are in position.
Use a sharp utility knife and a straightedge to trim the tile to size.
Place a teaspoon-sized dollop of adhesive on each corner, and press the tile in place to attach it to the ceiling.

Two central indicators regarding ceiling tiles’ acoustical performance are noise reduction coefficient and ceiling attenuation class. Joann Davis Brayman, vice president, commercial marketing, acoustic building products, Armstrong, says that sound is a big contributor as a problem or a solution. Their Armstrong ceiling tile 1250 and Armstrong ceiling 480 are both excellent products.

Sahara Tile For Ceilings
Ceilings can be a gateway for noise, so add tiles made specifically to block or absorb sound. Armstrong’s Sahara suspended ceiling tile absorbs 50 percent of sound.

Asbestos Ceiling Tile
Asbestos is only a problem when it’s disturbed and becomes airborne. As alternatives, you can try Armstrong plank ceiling tiles – wooden planks that are easily affixed to a ceiling - or their 1201 ceiling tiles.
