To help reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment, Armstrong World Industries has officially launched Ultima® Low Embodied Carbon (Ultima LEC) ceiling panels. Compared to standard Armstrong Ultima® ceiling panels, Ultima LEC delivers a 43% reduction in embodied carbon utilizing new technology that includes sustainably sourced, wood-generated biochar. Ultima LEC panels are USDA verified 100% bio-based content.
Ultima LEC ceiling panels are part of the Armstrong® Total Acoustics® portfolio and provide the ideal combination of sound absorption and sound blocking in one panel (0.75 NRC and 35 CAC). They are also part of the Armstrong® Sustain® portfolio and meet the most stringent industry sustainability compliance standards today. In addition, the fine-textured panels have a durable, washable, impact- and scratch-resistant finish, offering disinfectable, mold- and mildew-resistant surfaces and a 30-year warranty.
Ultima LEC ceiling panels are made from 54% recycled content and can be recycled through the Armstrong® Ceilings Recycling Program at end of their useful life.
