DrYwall GrID and FramInG sYsTem

Drywall Grid Systems:Engineered to give you design control while providing

a green installation by reducing steel up to 15%. Easily

incorporate F-type Light Fixtures, access panels, and air

diffusers into your design.

Drywall Framing Systems:Simplify the design of corridors, small room configurations,

restrooms, and storage closets. Combining StrongBack™ Carrying

Channel with ShortSpan® Drywall Framing System allows you to expand

your design up to 17'.

Axiom® Pre-Engineered Systems:Regain aesthetic control. Axiom Building Perimeters is a pre-engineered

solution that integrates multiple functions such as drapery pockets, air

distribution, and ceiling elevation changes. Axiom Transitions is a factory-finished

extruded aluminum that assures you get a top quality ceiling transition.

Armstrong® Drywall Grid Systems are engineered to give you more

design options. Our drywall grid is manufactured with additional

route locations to accommodate F-Type light fixtures, access

panels, and air diffusers. Additionally, the use of our 6' drywall grid

cross tees (XL8965) can reduce the amount of steel needed in a

ceiling up to 15%.

Less steel means a green way to design drywall installations.

AXIoM® TRANSITIONS

The Axiom® Building Perimeter System allows you to retain aesthetic control of building perimeter. This perimeter solution accommodates the transition between the interior building perimeter and the ceiling plane. It’s a pre-engineered solution that integrates multiple functions: drapery pockets, air distribution, and ceiling elevation changes.

QUALITy FInIShIngAxiom Transitions is a factory-finished extruded aluminum which assures you consistent quality. This pre-engineered solution also saves design and specification time. Fully integrates with our acoustical and drywall suspension systems giving you the ultimate design control.

Less steel means a green way to design drywall installations.

Embodied Energy SavingsDrywall grid and framing vs. traditional Drywall ceiling and framing methods

Our drywall grid and framing systems are

not only engineered to reduce risk, they’re

engineered to use less steel than traditional

drywall ceiling framing methods. Right, you’ll see

an analysis of three typical types of installations

– hallway, small space, and larger space. The

analysis concluded that Armstrong® Drywall Grid

and Framing Systems use less embodied energy

than traditional methods.

Embodied or “embedded energy” is an

assessment that includes the energy required

to extract raw materials from nature, plus

the energy used in primary and secondary

manufacturing activities to provide a finished

product. All processed products have embodied

energy, whether a drinking cup or a car. Buildings

represent a huge, relatively long-duration energy

investment in embodied energy terms.

Every building is a complex combination of many

processed materials, each contributing to the

building’s total embodied energy. The embodied

energy for a complete structure is comprised of

the energy required to extract and process the

raw material for each individual component as

well as the energy used to transport the finished

product to the job site and install it. Additionally,

the energy involved in maintaining each individual

building component, final removal, and recycling/

disposal at the end of its useful life can all be part

of the embodied energy equation.
