Installation of suspended ceilings Armstrong
Armstrong is the most common type of suspended ceilings. It is used in offices, administrative buildings, stores. Mounted on a special metal frame from profiles. To do this, attach MA-shaped profiles to the wall along the perimeter of the room, and then along the area in size of Armstrong tiles-neat even squares from a T-shaped profile.
Then the panels are carefully laid on the profiles. In some places (usually in the corners and next to the walls) there will be too little space to put the whole tile. Therefore, it needs to be cut off in size using an ordinary stationery knife.
Also, the design of the suspended ceiling Armstrong includes special lamps, both ordinary on 4 fluorescent lamps and LEDs.
