LANCASTER, Pa. – The Armstrong SUSTAIN portfolio makes it easy to specify for sustainability by offering the largest collection of healthy and sustainable ceiling and wall products with both verified material transparency and low embodied carbon.
In an industry where meeting evolving sustainability goals can be an increasingly complex equation, the SUSTAIN portfolio of ceiling and wall products makes it easy to satisfy multiple sustainability criteria with products that meet the following requirements:
- Declare® labeling offers verifi ed detail and transparency of ingredients
- Free of Red List “chemicals of concern” per LBCv4.0 Red List

Low Embodied Carbon Solutions
The SUSTAIN portfolio leads the industry with the broadest portfolio of ceiling and wall products with low embodied carbon, delivering solutions that minimize the environmental impact of the overall project. (Embodied carbon reduction based on Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) baseline for ceilings.)
Deeply committed to its own sustainability goals, Armstrong is constantly innovating and adding more low embodied carbon solutions to the portfolio.
Specifying products from the SUSTAIN portfolio saves time in material screening during the design phase and can contribute to green building certifications, such as LEED®, WELL™, Fitwel®, International Living Building Challenge®, and Net Zero. The Armstrong GREEN GENIE Tool can help specifiers calculate how SUSTAIN products contribute to LEED, WELL, or Living Building Challenge projects.
SUSTAIN ceiling and wall products are featured in the Mindful Materials® database and the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) tool.
The SUSTAIN portfolio offers a diverse selection of easy-to-specify mineral fiber, fiberglass, and metal ceiling panels; TECTUM wall and ceiling panels; trims and transitions; and suspension and drywall systems.
