Armstrong Ceiling Tiles have now been rebranded as Zentia Ceilings. If you specifically require the original Armstrong branded variant, please contact us before placing your order.
Armstrong’s Academy Merit suspended ceiling tiles were developed specifically with academic institutions in mind. Conforming to the recommendations of BB93 for improving acoustic quality in schools, universities and colleges, the tile helps to reduce sound transmission in hallways and open learning environments, and aids speech intelligibility in classrooms.
Particularly effective for students with hearing problems, or who struggle to concentrate in noisy environments, discover the suspended ceiling tile made for your school.
*Please note that due to a recent re-branding, the Armstrong Academy Merit is now known as the Zentia Bene. Looking for the square edge version? Use the Armstrong Academy Merit Board Edge. Any orders will be sent out the new Zentia version of the tile.
