CEILING SYSTEMS [ Between us, ideas become reality. ] ARMSTRONG CANOPY October 2008
Trends Canopy Range Benefits Portfolio Architectural Trends The development of environmentally friendly products and building techniques, the demand for large open plan areas, the need for flexible work spaces, and the move towards urban living have produced designs that meet two main architectural trends: Functionality and efficiency Armstrong Canopies offer a customised, individual space that improves well-being, acoustics and visual comfort in individual and collective areas.

Trends Canopy Range Benefits Portfolio Architectural Trends Aesthetics and acoustic performance Playing with a variety of materials, shapes and sizes, allows the architect to express their creativity and improve the acoustics of the space without sacrificing design. Today, the need to maintain original building features and meet demanding acoustical performances requires a fine balance between acoustic absorption, intelligibility and clever space design. Armstrong architectural designs protect the environment and embrace technology; recycled materials, reuse of architectural elements, good light reflectance and acoustics are all aspects which are taken into account.
Trends Canopy Range Benefits Portfolio In order to meet these expectations, the Armstrong Canopy Collection offers the largest choice of discontinuous ceilings: Ultima Canopy, Orcal Canopy, Axiom Canopies, Infusions Canopy and Optima Canopy.
