Products
Armstrong World Industries has a vast array of acoustic ceilings available in a wide range of styles and acoustical ratings. Each product can be viewed on the company website where detailed technical specification can be found. The friendly and professional team at Armstrong will assist clients in specifying the most appropriate solution for any commercial application.
