Armstrong characteristics
One of the main characteristics is the lightness and at the same time the strength of the product. This ceiling is able to withstand its weight and equipment, which is built into it. Gratitude for this should be said to the developers who managed to create a unique fastening - several spokes( most often - 2), which have a spring mechanism. Due to this mechanism, the main structure is retained and the level of the ceiling height is regulated. The details that form the plane are also very simple, like a normal designer.
- Jumpers, the length of which is 0.6m and 1.2m.
- Guiding profiles.
- Wall corners.
Armstrong design calculation
Armstrong suspended ceiling calculation is not difficult. In particular, when buying a ceiling, companies can offer to use a special calculator( electronic program, there are almost all stores).But you can do the calculation yourself.
- Measurement of the perimeter of the room. This will allow you to understand how many meters of the wall angle is required. Everything is simple, and then a little more difficult, you will have to deal with calculations.
- Guides - the calculation must be carried out taking into account their peculiar arrangement. That is, they should have a distance from the wall of 1 meter 20 centimeters. The same distance should be between the guides. Their length is 3.6 meters. This fact must be taken into account. Example: the area of the room is 3x4 meters, so 3
- guides are needed. The jumpers( 1.2 meters) are mounted perpendicular to the profiles of the guides, taking into account the 600 mm pitch. Based on this, and the calculation is done.
- Jumpers( 0.6 meta) - they need as many as long ones.
- The last step in the calculation is the purchase of fasteners. The fastener has three parts - a spoke with a hook, a "butterfly"( a spring for connecting the spokes), a spoke with a loop. All this is on sale, but separately. To buy it is necessary proceeding from a principle - on 1 meter square 5 pieces of each name.
Often, in addition to the tiles themselves, light fixtures are also mounted in the structure. They are made especially for the Armstrong ceiling and have dimensions of 60x60 cm. However, many craftsmen can offer a variant with spotlights. It's a bit cheaper, and there are no special differences in quality.
Suspended ceiling armstrog, the calculation of which was considered a little higher - is the best choice among the products provided in the suspended ceilings market. Quality, simplicity, reliability, low cost - that's what makes it stand out among competitors.
