Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is a measure of the quality of an indoor environment as it relates to human health, well-being 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 Armstrong Ceilings 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.
STRATACLEAN IQ Air Filtration System
See how STRATACLEAN IQ creates cleaner, healthier indoor air quality for every space, using proven MERV 13 filtration.
Filter the Air
- 24” x 24” design allows for easy installation in any suspended ceiling system – easy to incorporate in new spaces, or retrofit in existing spaces, with no HVAC system integration required
- In-ceiling air cleaning works more effectively than floor-based cleaning and is part of a long-term strategy to improve indoor air quality*
- Easy maintenance – easy to remove and replace the universal MERV 13 filter
- Integrates with occupancy sensors to save energy and maximize clean air while the space is occupied
*A simulation study performed by JB&B showed that for equivalent CFM, in-ceiling air purification delivered approximately 14% lower particle concentration than a floor-based air purification unit across all sampled inhalation zones.
Armstrong VIDASHIELD UV24 Air Purification System
See how the Armstrong VIDASHIELD UV24 System pairs a UV-C Air Purifier with ULTIMA HEALTH ZONE or SCHOOL ZONE FINE FISSURED ceiling panels to offer safe, unobtrusive in-room air purification for cleaner air.
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 neutralizes 97%* of bacteria, viruses and allergens.
- Patented, scientifically proven UV-C air-cleaning technology; recirculates clean air back into the room
AIRASSURE for Every Healthy Space
See how AIRASSURE factory-gasketed edges create a tighter fitting ceiling for improved indoor air quality.
Seal Your Ceiling
- Seal the ceiling plane for improved indoor air quality
- Factory-gasketed edges reduce air leakage through the ceiling plane to direct airflow more effectively and improve indoor air quality
- Clean Room Performance up to ISO Class 5 (Class 100) using standard non-gasketed suspension systems
- Support negative or positive pressure-controlled spaces (without hold-down clips)
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.
