All of these products are available in new DESIGNFlex Shapes, including triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. Squares and rectangles are also available in made-to-order sizes for these and a myriad of other ceiling textures. In addition, Calla and Lyra Shapes, squares and rectangles are available in any color.

Personalized Ceiling Designs

“DESIGNFlex Ceiling Systems give designers an opportunity to change the whole look of the ceiling using a unique combination of sizes, shapes, and colors in mineral fiber, fiberglass, and metal panels that are ready to ship quickly,” says Nicholas Taraborelli, Vice President, Commercial Marketing, Armstrong World Industries. “This is a first. Never before have there been so many choices that are readily available in these industry-changing shapes and sizes, transforming the decades old 2' x 2' module into a whole new world of options.”

A new online DESIGNFlex Pattern Gallery features dozens of patterns and inspiring color palettes. Details about panels, suspension systems, trim, and accessories are provided, along with complete installation instructions.  Suggestions for integrating lighting and diffusers into ceiling installations are also included.

A Complete Ceiling System

Armstrong Ceiling Solutions has developed new, exclusive accessories for Prelude® 15/16" and Suprafine® 9/16" suspension systems to enable installation of angled panels for DESIGNFlex Ceiling Systems.  

Many products in DESIGNFlex Ceiling Systems are part of the Sustain® portfolio, meaning that they have Declare℠ labels, EPDs, and HPDs, and meet the most stringent sustainability standards in the industry. Many of the products also feature Total Acoustics® performance, which offers the ideal combination of sound absorption and sound blocking in one panel.
