Sound Absorption (NRC)
A measure for rating the overall sound absorption of a material when used in an enclosed architectural space where sound is reflected at many angles of incidence. A ceiling system with an NRC < 0.50 is low performance, an NRC > 0.70 is high performance. |

Light Reflectance
A high light reflective ceiling – LR 0.83 or greater, per ASTM E1477-98 as referred to in ASTM E1264-98 – makes lighting systems, especially indirect lighting, more effective while further reducing energy costs and consumption. LR values apply to White panels only. |

Additional Information
OPTIMA Lay-In and Tegular
Create comfortable, high-performing commercial interiors with OPTIMA Lay-In and Tegular acoustic ceiling tiles. Designed for spaces where acoustic performance and a clean, consistent visual are priorities, OPTIMA panels combine excellent sound absorption with a smooth, fine-textured appearance and a broad selection of sizes and edge details.
With options for offices, education, healthcare, transportation, retail, hospitality, and other commercial environments, OPTIMA gives architects and designers greater flexibility while providing contractors and project teams with a proven suspended ceiling solution.
The NRC rating of OPTIMA Lay-In and Tegular
The NRC rating depends on the specific OPTIMA panel selected. Certain configurations provide NRC ratings of 0.90, 0.95, or as high as 1.00. A higher NRC indicates greater sound absorption, making these options well suited for commercial spaces where reducing reflected sound is an important design objective.
Always verify the performance data for the specific panel and item number being specified.
Clean, Smooth Ceiling Visuals
OPTIMA panels feature a smooth, fine-textured surface that creates a refined appearance across the ceiling plane. Lay-in and tegular edge options allow design teams to select the visual relationship between the ceiling panel and suspension system that works best for the project.
A wide range of standard panel sizes also gives architects greater freedom to coordinate the ceiling with lighting, mechanical systems, partitions, and other elements of the interior.
Designed for Demanding Commercial Projects
OPTIMA ceiling panels offer a combination of performance characteristics that can help project teams address multiple specification requirements with one ceiling system.
Depending on the selected configuration, OPTIMA options include high sound absorption, high light reflectance, Class A fire performance, humidity and sag resistance, mold and mildew resistance, and a range of sustainability attributes.
For contractors and project managers, the extensive selection of standard sizes and compatible suspension systems can also help simplify ceiling coordination and installation across projects with varying design requirements.
Support for Architects, Contractors, and Project Teams
Selecting a ceiling involves more than choosing a panel. Architects, designers, general contractors, owners, consultants, and facility teams must coordinate acoustics, aesthetics, lighting, mechanical systems, installation, accessibility, sustainability, and long-term performance.
Armstrong provides technical documentation, specifications, CAD and Revit resources, installation information, sustainability documentation, and design support to help teams move from specification through construction with greater confidence.
