Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is a measure of the quality of an indoor environment as it relates to human health, wellbeing and performance, including indoor air quality (IAQ), lighting, visual quality, acoustics, and thermal comfort.
Armstrong Ceilings – known for ceiling acoustics and sustainability innovations – is expanding our portfolio beyond traditional ceiling concepts to offer engineered products that improve air quality, clean and disinfect the air, and improve thermal comfort.
Discover how ceilings can help engineers improve IEQ for building owners, building managers and occupants alike.

Solutions for Healthier, Safer Spaces
The 24/7 Defend Portfolio is ideal for any environment where we want to reassure people going back to work, learn, heal, and play that they are surrounded by materials and systems that contribute to indoor environmental quality to keep them safe and healthier.
Seal Your Ceiling
- Retrofit options for improved air containment
- Reduced air leakage through the ceiling plane in a space up to 4X compared to tiles without AirAssure performance
- Increased effectiveness of in-ceiling air filtration and purification systems up to 40%
- Support negative or positive pressure-controlled spaces (without hold-down clips)
VidaShield Overview
Shielded UV light and filtration neutralizes 97% of bacteria, viruses, and allergens.
Clean the Air
- Pair VidaShield UV24™ Air Purification System with ULTIMA Health Zone or SCHOOL ZONE Fine Fissured ceiling panels to offer safe, unobtrusive in-room air purification for cleaner air
- The system includes shielded ultraviolet light and filtration which deactivate pathogens and reduce the risk of indoor air transmission of viruses
- Patented, scientifically proven UV-C air-cleaning technology; recirculates clean air back into the room
Solutions for Thermal Comfort
Circulate hot or cold water through concealed copper tubing on the back of the panels providing sustainable heating and cooling with minimal air ventilation requirements.
FLEXIBILITY
Hydronic radiant panels can be incorporated in various ceiling solutions including lay-in and torsion spring, providing unrestricted floor space since there is no need for floor mounted heating systems.
SUPERIOR COMFORT
With radiant ceiling systems, surfaces are uniformly heated or cooled making occupant comfort easy to achieve year round.
GREEN BUILDING DESIGN
A combined radiant panel cooling system designed with a dedicated outdoor air mechanical system offers the potential to earn LEED certification points.
