PRELUDE UNIVERSAL MAIN RUNNER


The Prelude Universal Main Runner supports the installation of either
hook/butt cut or stab/override Cross Tees from one simple inventory of Main
Runners. The universal system is available in Peakform design in both 24mm
and 15mm widths.
The Peakform Universal Main Runners feature a firm, quick and easy
assembled Main Runner to Main Runner / bulb-to-bulb connection. Metric
sized Main Runners are slotted at 100mm centres for more flexibility. Slots are
machined to receive positive and accurate assembly of either Prelude TL and
TLX (hook installation) or Prelude XL2 (stab installation) Cross Tees.
The staked-on Superlock clip allows for Main Runners to be disconnected
and reconnected laterally in low-clearance areas or in the middle of a room.

WHERE INNOVATION MEETS P ER F OR MANCE

SEISMIC Rx® SYSTEM


Armstrong Seismic Rx® System is a fully and independently
tested approach to achieving ceiling installations that can
withstand the forces associated with significant seismic activity
or other severe events.
In addition to earthquakes, there are several other industries with
associated risks (e.g. Blast protection) where the use of Seismic Rx®
System will provide additional protection for the ceiling e.g.
• Nuclear installations
• Defence establishments
• Chemical installations
• Transport installations (with intermittent vibrations)
The Seismic Rx® system provides the additional security required for
seismic resistance using specifically designed elements for minimised
installation complexity with maximum performance.

PRELUDE XL2 “CLICK” INSTALLATION
Prelude XL2 Cross Tees in both 24mm and 15mm widths
feature an advanced stab system that locates with an audible
“click”, ensuring a solid installation at all times. The stab end
is precision stamped from a separate piece of high grade
steel permitting an increased accuracy and economy of
production over the more conventional integral forming of the
Cross Tee ends. A selected range of standard Prelude 15/24
XL2 Cross Tees feature the new Peakform design.
The Cross Tees are inserted to the right of each other
through the Main Runner slots and easily pushed home.

PRELUDE TLX
TLX is a new highly engineered staked-on hook system, with
a patented clip. Its unique steel-based composite material
and shape provide a stronger and level connection, an
improved fire performance and an increased overall
stability.TLX Cross Tees are quicker and easier to cut due to
the Peakform section.
When the TLX Cross Tees are inserted to the right of each
other through the Main Runner slots, the TLX clip provides a
more secure installation.

PRELUDE TL “HOOK” INSTALLATION


Prelude TL Cross Tees in 15mm width feature an integrally
formed hook nose. This popular installation system has been
a feature of Armstrong suspension systems for over 20 years
and its proven ease of assembly and precise butt cut joint
has been a favourite of installers. Cross Tee alignment is
ensured by locating the tees to the right hand side of the
adjoining section.

CLEAN ROOM
A clean room is a space or a series of spaces where the concentration of particles is controlled in order to minimise the
introduction, generation, retention of particles inside, generally for a specific industrial or research objective, as well as in
healthcare environments. Parameters such as temperature, humidity and relative pressure are also maintained at a precise
level, as defined in ISO 14644-1.
• Clean rooms are classified ISO 1 (cleanest) to ISO 9 depending on the number of particles measured.
• The performance is tested to ISO 14644-1 which determines the particle cleanliness class. Although US Federal
Standard 209E has been officially withdrawn, it is continuously used as a reference.

The following table shows the equivalence between the 2 standards.

INSTALL ATION & MAINTENANCE

SAFETY
Armstrong’s commitment on safety concerns each and every step of
our business:
• in our plants & offices, we have implemented rigorous safety
policies and procedures to help minimise risk
• for our products, for which we ensure compliance with
appropriate European and local safety regulations.
• on the jobsite, safety is crucial for our partners:
Armstrong therefore recommends the handling,
installation & maintenance of our solutions in
accordance with the European standards and /or
local regulations, for the safety of the
installers & of the end users.

GENERAL ADVICE

Installation of suspended ceiling systems should be carried out in


accordance with Armstrong's current manufacturer's recommendations.
For grid systems there are some specific points that should be
considered:
- The appropriate type of Cross Tee for the ceiling tile edge detail
must be considered.
- The grid systems should be installed in such a way that the
loadbearing performance of the grid is not exceeded.
- 'Dynamic' service fittings should be independently supported so not
to transfer vibration into the suspension system.
- Armstrong recommend the use of the 'ladder formation' and all our
loading data is based on the 'ladder formation'. Using the 'H-
formation' will give greater deflection for a given load.

POST INSTALLATION
After the installation of a suspended ceiling system it is important to ensure that it is properly maintained and that any
additional works are not detrimental to the performance of the ceiling installation. Maintenance operations must only be
undertaken after the technical impact on the ceiling system has been completely evaluated. For example, hangers should not
be removed, adapted or bent without fully understanding the consequences and taking any appropriate mitigating actions.
Armstrong suspension systems do not need any more maintenance than normal painted metal surfaces. However, if cleaning
is required dust and superficial dirt can easily be removed with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
For more stubborn marks a lightly dampened cloth or sponge can be used, although never use abrasive products.
Some companies specialise in chemical cleaning solutions. These should only be undertaken after a test on a small hidden
area of grid proves acceptable.
Most Armstrong suspension systems can be redecorated, however, consideration should be given to the effect on the fire
reaction performance of the grid. Ceiling tiles should be removed, however, the grid can usually be painted in situ. If a firm of
professional decorators is used, assurances should be sought that the necessary performances will be maintained. It should
be noted that any repainting would invalidate Armstrong's warranty for the product.

LOAD CAPACIT Y MATR IX

Loading is an important property of suspended ceiling grid systems both for the mechanical safety of the suspended
ceiling and its visual appearance.
In the EEA, table 6 of the suspended ceiling product standard, EN 13964:2004+A1:2006, defines 3 classes of
deflection, the best being Class 1 which is L/500 (but no greater than 4mm).

Class Maximun deflection in mmA


1 LB / 500 and not greater than 4,0
2 LB / 300
3 No limit
A The maximun deflection is the accumulative value of the deflection of the substructure component and the deflection
of the membrane component.
B
L is the span in mm between the suspension components or the suspension points.

The test method on which the European calculations of loadbearing capacity are based upon is also defined in EN
13964, and considers the influence of both deflection and bending moment.
The individual product pages in the second half of this brochure include a table giving the maximum uniform
distributed load, based on different hanger centres, in accordance with Class 1 deflection, as defined in EN
13964:2004 + A1:2006.
For markets outside of the EEA different deflection limits are sometimes required. The tables on this page show the
maximum uniform distributed load for the deflection limits shown, but taking into account deflection only. These
values are calculated based upon load values determined from laboratory tests in accordance with the EN 13964
test method.
For longer spans, some of the criteria shown on this page may give quite large deflection values. Armstrong
recommends a maximum of 4mm deflection between points of suspension for all grid components, irrespective of
span, for aesthetic reasons. Therefore the numbers in the tables on this page are the maximum loads permitted to
meet the give a deflection criteria (such as L/400) but up to a maximum value of 4mm.
