• Effortless Installation: Designed for quick and easy assembly, our patented clip systems and precise manufacturing tolerances minimize installation time and labor costs. Components interlock seamlessly, creating a strong, level, and square grid every time.
• Design Versatility: Available in various widths (15/16" Prelude XL®, 9/16" Silhouette®/Suprafine®) and profiles, Armstrong T-Grids offer flexibility to achieve diverse aesthetic goals. Pair them with a vast selection of Armstrong ceiling tiles for classic, contemporary, or minimalist looks.
• Seamless System Integration: Engineered to work flawlessly with Armstrong ceiling panels, lighting fixtures, air diffusers, and other ceiling accessories, ensuring optimal performance and a cohesive finished appearance.
• Enhanced Accessibility: The suspended grid design allows for easy removal and re-installation of ceiling panels, providing convenient access to the plenum space for maintenance of electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and communication systems.
