WALL CLADDING SYSTEM W-H 1000

The appeal of Armstrong wall claddings lies in their advanced design and intelligent functionality during installation and fitting.
A large number of different finishes and styles is your guarantee
of their flexibility in accommodating a broad range of applications.
Irrespective of whether they are used to control and support room
acoustics, as a simple cladding or covering, as architectural roomdesign elements or even as a combination of different requirements - Armstrong has the right cladding solution for walls.

Maintenance and environment

Wall claddings by Armstrong are highly
attractive interior-design elements.
They are washable, making them easy
to clean. Armstrongs dirt-repelling
powder coating has proven itself to
be an indestructible surface finish for
many decades. The solvent-free production process also makes our wall
claddings innocuous from an ecological and health-related viewpoint.

Cost savings due to

automated production
An extraordinarily high degree of automation is utilised in the manufacture of
our wall claddings. We fine-tune production volumes flexibly and continually to accommodate market requirements.
Thanks to such efficient production
management, we are able to offer you
remarkably keen prices on our products.

Quality and service

Armstrongs production facilities guarantee optimal capacity and the
remarkably flexible production of
wall claddings. Efficiently-organised
processes, continuous quality management and a global network of
subsidiaries and distribution partners
ensure orders are delivered on time.

TECHNOLOGY AND PROPERTIES

Acoustics
The acoustic effect of wall cladding
systems is often of central importance. Smooth walls will reflect sound
while perforated ones tend to be
sound absorbent, depending on their
design. We recommend the use of
black acoustic fleece as a sound-absorbing inlay with acoustic mat for our
wall claddings. Reverberation times,
and consequently the sound level,
can be reduced considerably in this
way. Functional, intelligently-designed
acoustic solutions characterise every
Armstrong wall cladding: noise is absorbed where it could be distracting,
while speech and sound is directed
to where it is desired. Whatever your
needs for the acoustic properties of
a room, Armstrong wall claddings
will satisfy your expectations. Detailed inforamtion will be given by your
Armstrong adviser.

Building material class /

fire protection
Wall claddings and designs that are
intended to form part of a fire protection structure must meet the actual requirements as well as country-specific standards and regulations. Do you
require more detailed information?
Call your Armstrong adviser. He will be
pleased to assist you.

Colour schemes
The W system series is available in all
the colours of the RAL and NCS palette. Special metallic finishes can even
be offered on request.

Perforations
Armstrong has subdivided its available
perforations into groups, depending
on the wall cladding format.
