As an industry leader in building materials designed for acoustics, sustainability, and aesthetics, Armstrong is continually innovating to meet current needs. That innovation includes expanding our portfolio beyond traditional ceiling products and offering solutions that improve Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ).
IEQ consists of several key factors relating to our health, well-being, and performance, including indoor air quality (IAQ), sound, light, temperature, and more. Just look up and start with in-ceiling solutions that can clean and filter the air and improve acoustics, thermal comfort, and lighting.
Have questions about in-room air purification, ultraviolet light, filtration or thermal comfort?
Our team can provide answers, along with MEP design & specification assistance, for your next project.

Solutions to Improve Indoor Air Quality
The Armstrong Ceilings portfolio can enhance any indoor environment, reassuring occupants where they work, learn, heal, and play that they are surrounded by materials and systems that improve IEQ, keeping them safer and healthier.
StrataClean IQ Air Filtration System
See how StrataClean IQ creates cleaner, healthier indoor air quality for every space, using proven MERV 13 filtration.
Filter the Air
- 24" x 24" design allows for easy installation in any suspended ceiling system – easy to incorporate in new spaces, or retrofit in existing spaces, with no HVAC system integration required
- In-ceiling air cleaning works up to 35% more effectively than floor-based air cleaning and is part of a long-term strategy to improve indoor air quality*
- Easy maintenance – easy to remove and replace the universal MERV 13 filter
- Integrates with occupancy sensors to save energy and maximize clean air while the space is occupied
Armstrong VIDASHIELD UV24 Air Purification System
See how the Armstrong VIDASHIELD UV24 System pairs a UV-C Air Purifier with ULTIMA HEALTH ZONE or SCHOOL ZONE FINE FISSURED ceiling panels to offer safe, unobtrusive in-room air purification for cleaner air.
Clean the Air
- Pair VIDASHIELD UV24 Air Purification System with ULTIMA HEALTH ZONE or SCHOOL ZONE FINE FISSURED ceiling panels to offer safe, unobtrusive in-room air purification for cleaner air
- The system includes shielded ultraviolet light and filtration which neutralizes 97%* of bacteria, viruses and allergens.
- Patented, scientifically proven UV-C air-cleaning technology; recirculates clean air back into the room
- In-ceiling air cleaning works up to 35% more effectively than floor-based air cleaning and is part of a long-term strategy to improve indoor air quality*
SINCERUS UV Linear Air Purification System
See how Sincerus UV Air Purification eliminates 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, safely concealed in the ceiling.
Purify the Air
- SINCERUS continuously draws air up and away from occupants, passing through a MERV 5 filter into the concealed chamber where UV-C technology neutralizes the common harmful airborne contaminants and allergens and then recirculates clean air throughout the space
- Linear design seamlessly integrates with popular Armstrong ceilings and suspension system finishes
Energy Saving Ceilings
TEMPLOK Energy Saving Ceilings
Introducing Templok Energy Saving Ceilings which use advanced Phase Change Material (PCM) to naturally increase thermal mass providing year-round comfort requiring less heating and cooling energy.
TEMPLOK Ceilings
- TEMPLOK ceiling panels can reduce building HVAC energy costs and consumption up to 15%**
- Improve thermal comfort with ceilings that regulate indoor temperatures
- Provides up to 35 BTUs/SF of passive cooling**
- Add thermal mass to lightweight construction
AIRASSURE for Every Healthy Space
See how AIRASSURE factory-gasketed edges create a tighter fitting ceiling for improved indoor air quality.
Seal Your Ceiling
- Seal the ceiling plane for improved indoor air quality
- Factory-gasketed edges reduce air leakage through the ceiling plane to direct airflow more effectively and improve indoor air quality
- Clean Room Performance up to ISO Class 5 (Class 100) using standard non-gasketed suspension systems
- Enable easy conversion to negative or positive pressure-controlled spaces (without hold-down clips)
- Achieve energy savings and reduce costs in data centers through reduced air leakage
Solutions for Thermal Comfort
Circulate hot or cold water through concealed copper tubing on the back of the panels providing sustainable heating and cooling with minimal air ventilation requirements.
Flexibility
Hydronic radiant panels can be incorporated in various ceiling solutions including lay-in and torsion spring, providing unrestricted floor space since there is no need for floor mounted heating systems.
Superior Comfort
With radiant ceiling systems, surfaces are uniformly heated or cooled making occupant comfort easy to achieve year round.
Green Building Design
A combined radiant panel cooling system designed with a dedicated outdoor air mechanical system offers the potential to earn LEED certification points.
