Integrating Lighting into Armstrong Metal Ceilings

Armstrong Ceiling Systems

METAL Lay-In Systems

Armstrong’s METAL Lay-In systems are designed for spaces where ease of access and simplicity are paramount. These systems feature a T-Profile (available in 15mm or 24mm widths) that allows tiles to rest on the flanges of a T-shaped grid, facilitating straightforward installation and maintenance. The range includes variants such as METAL Board, Tegular 2, Tegular 8, Tegular 11 F, and Tegular 16 under the 24mm profile, and METAL MicroLook 8, MicroLook 16, and Axal Vector under the 15mm profile. The 24mm option provides added stability for larger tiles, while the 15mm version offers a refined, elegant look to suit your design vision. The T-Profile mechanism is illustrated below for clarity.

These tables showcase the versatility of Lay-In systems, with 600x600mm being a widely supported size. Our test installations with the Morph luminaire ensure compatibility, helping you achieve the perfect balance of form and function.

METAL Clip-In Systems

For a sleek, modern ceiling finish, Armstrong’s METAL Clip-In systems are an outstanding option. These systems use A-Profile or Spring-T Profile mechanisms to secure tiles, creating a concealed grid that enhances visual continuity. Variants include METAL Q-Clip F, S-Clip F, and T-Clip F under the Q/S/T category, and METAL R-Clip, T-Clip, and K-Clip under the R/T/K category, catering to diverse module sizes and aesthetic preferences—ideal for corporate or retail settings where precision is key.

The Clip-In systems’ precision-engineered profiles demand careful alignment, which our test installations help refine. With 600x600mm as a commonly supported size, these systems offer a polished finish for any space.

METAL Hook-On Systems

For projects requiring robust support, Armstrong’s METAL Hook-On systems are the ideal solution. These systems employ J-Profile or H-Profile (28mm or 35mm) mechanisms to secure larger or heavier panels, making them perfect for industrial or high-traffic environments. Variants include METAL R-H 200, Q-H 100, R-H 215, R-H 220, and Q-H 120, delivering the strength needed for demanding applications.

The H-Profile’s double-hook design provides enhanced stability, particularly for larger panels, and may require additional support like 3/8”–16 threaded rods, as illustrated below.

Applications

Armstrong systems excel across diverse settings:

• Corporate Offices: Clip-In systems (T-Spring/A-Profile) provide a sleek, acoustically controlled aesthetic.

• Retail Environments: Lay-In systems (T-Profile) offer customisation and easy access.

• Healthcare Facilities: Hook-On systems (J/H-Profile) ensure durability and maintenance ease.

• Industrial Spaces: Hook-On systems deliver strength and flexibility.

Technical Insights

• Module Size Flexibility: Supported sizes like 600x600mm are widely compatible, while larger sizes (e.g., 400x1800mm) are specific to certain variants.

• Profile Selection: T-Profiles are forgiving, while Clip-In and Hook-On profiles require precise alignment, addressed by our test installations.

• Integration with Lighting: The Morph luminaire integrates seamlessly, with tests ensuring compatibility.

• Structural Support: Heavier panels may need 3/8”–16 threaded rods.
