Leader in seismic testing
Armstrong has partnered with the State University of New York, University at Buffalo, to test both standard and non-standard ceiling systems for seismic performance, including non-standard systems such as: Concealed Z Grid Systems, Custom T-bar Grid Systems, J-bar Grid Systems, Custom Linear Grid Systems, Custom Grid Modules, DP-59 Grid Systems, Access Grid Systems, and Canopy Cable Systems. Most of the grid systems are used for custom panels such as MetalWorks™ and WoodWorks®.
