Using standard patented extrusions and client-specific shapes, the High Profile Series Frameworks aluminum beams can be customized to create one-off ceiling and wall designs. Precision-cut curved and straight elements can be assembled into infinite elements, including peaks, valleys, screens and rafters. The beams are available in seamless baffles up to 20 ft. in length and over sixty finishes and colors, including wood-look and wood-veneer options.
MoreLending an enhanced level of design creativity to commercial ceiling systems, DESIGNFlex enables architects to mix and match different panel shapes, sizes, colors and textures. The array of shapes include triangles, parallelograms and trapezoids, in addition to squares and rectangles in made-to-order sizes. Transforming the decades old 2-ft. × 2-ft. module into a new world of options.
MoreArmstrong Ceiling & Wall Solutions offers an expanded portfolio of acoustical solutions that maintain the design integrity of exposed structure environments and integrates acoustical panels to control noise.

MoreThe University of Toronto Scarborough Campus’ (UTSC’s) new $52.5 million Environmental Science and Chemistry Building (ESCB) is a study in sound installation. Contributing to the building’s multiple goals, acoustic stone wool ceiling panels and suspension systems support the university’s architectural vision, functional performance requirements and sustainability criteria, and completing the project within budget and on schedule was key. “It was a mission of mine to achieve the highest possible level of efficiency for this type of energy-use intensive building prior to the design team and contractor coming on board,” said UTSC facilities Management Dept.’s project manager, Hovan Stepanian. “
MoreUNC’s Marisco Hall Imaging and Research Building found a solution from a sight and sound standpoint. A university lab and cancer research facility, the Marisco Hall Imaging Research Building serves students and faculty within both University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine and the Eschelman School of Pharmacy. One of the largest buildings on campus, the 343,000-sq.-ft. structure is a centerpiece of UNC’s research community, featuring state-of-the-art imaging equipment. The team sought to deliver the look and feel of a custom millwork finish while sourcing a product that incorporated sustainable qualities.
MoreCreate an appropriate atmosphere for the 9/11 Memorial Museum that reflects peace, honor and compassion for the spirits of those who perished during the terrorist attacks on America on Sept. 11, 2001.
