by Rebecca Walker — June 23, 2008—Armstrong Ceilings has introduced what it calls the industrys first pre-engineered solution to the transition between the ceiling plane and the interior of a buildings perimeter.
The new Armstrong Axiom Building Perimeter System provides an easy-to-specify, integrated approach to the inclusion of drapery pockets, window shades, air diffusers and changes in ceiling elevation at the perimeter.
Fully compatible with both Armstrong acoustical ceiling and drywall suspension systems, the Axiom Building Perimeter System simplifies installation at the perimeter because it replaces many commonly used drywall transitions that involve time-intensive installation procedures, says the company.
The new system also reduces the design time required to detail and specify the integration of transitions since CAD components are available that can simply be inserted into project plans.

The company has also introduced Optima Capz, a new ceiling system that offers design flexibility by pairing new Capz accent hardware with the exceptional acoustical benefits of fine-textured Optima ceiling panels. The new system can be installed directly to a metal deck to maximize ceiling height, onto drywall, or suspended with wires.
The new system is especially well suited for such applications as open plenum offices, educational spaces such as science labs, cafeterias and gymnasiums, and retail establishments, says the company. Ideal for use in new construction, the system is also a simple, affordable way to retrofit poor acoustic-performing exposed structure spaces because the panels feature a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.90, meaning the panels absorb 90% of the sound that strikes them.
