Armstrong Ceilings introduced the MetalWorks Torsion Spring for Behavioral Health Ceiling System, a new product designed to enhance safety in mental and behavioral health facilities. The system’s tamper-resistant design includes locking clips and stud bracing to prevent panel removal, reducing the risk of self-harm or hiding contraband. The 30″ x 30″ panels are made with 15% recycled content, have a Class A fire rating, and can improve indoor environmental quality with acoustic options.
Approved by the New York State Office of Mental Health (NYS-OMH), the ceiling system is recommended in their Patient Standards, Materials and Systems Guidelines.
