12 HOW TO STAIN YOUR COUNTRY CLASSIC TM PLANK CEILING ADD WARMTH TO A FAMILY ROOM OR CHARM TO A KITCHEN There s nothing like the rustic look of wood. Our Country Classic planks give you the look of wood without the expense. Using a water-based gel stain on the planks, choose a light, medium, or dark color that complements the look and feel of your room. Here s how: Step1 Select and test the stain color light to dark to ensure the color of stain you choose complements your room. You may also use a water based paint and mix with an acrylic glaze fi nish to achieve the same wood look. Mix together 1 part paint and 6 parts glaze for a light-to-medium tone, or 1 part paint to 4 parts glaze for a darker tone. Step 2 Stain planks follow the manufacturer s instructions for applying the stain. For a darker stain, apply two coats, waiting 24 hours between coats and until dry. Step 3 Install the planks; follow the installation instructions found in the carton. NOTE: Armstrong Ceilings cannot guarantee that the published surface burning characteristics, fi re ratings, acoustical performance, dimensional stability/sag, or light refl ectance will remain the same after repainting. Field painting will void the warranty. AFTER: 480 COUNTRY CLASSIC PLANK (FIELD STAINED) BEFORE: 480 COUNTRY CLASSIC PLANK WoodLook 9 ceilings.com

44 BASEMENT APPLICATIONS International Residential Code Floor I-Joist Fire Safety: THE FACTS In the last twenty years, engineered I-joist fl oor systems have grown in popularity over real wood. In UL tests, however, the engineered wooden I-beams only withstood the fi re test for 6 minutes versus traditionally constructed fl oor systems that would last 18 minutes.* The original International Residential Code R501.3 (I-joist safety code) called for sprinklers installed in a basement. Not many states adopted this into local code. The 2012 version (R501.3) and 2015 version (R302.13) were updated to allow instead for a membrane of either 1/2-inch gypsum wallboard, 5/8-inch wood structural panel membrane (plywood), or the EQUIVALENT to be attached to the underside of the joists, if sprinklers or 2-ft x 10-ft dimensional lumber are not in place. Many states are now adopting this new version of the Floor Fire Safety code into their local codes. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Ohio for example, have already adopted versions of the Floor Fire Safety code. Check your local code requirements. ARMSTRONG CEILINGS SAFE AND SOUND SOLUTION Armstrong Ceilings has a safe and attractive solution that performs better than the recommended gypsum or plywood membranes. When tested side by side with the IRC R501.3 recommended solution, our grid and ceiling panel solution lasted 60% longer.** * UL study, Report on Structural Stability of Engineered Lumber in Fire Conditions **Large-scale comparative test based on ASTM E119, 4/8/13 Armstrong ceilings provide additional minutes of protection** Timeline Plywood or Gypsum Membrane 14:47 Armstrong Ceilings Solution 23:40 20 Years Ago: Engineered wood I-joist fl oor system introduced. 2006: Department of Homeland Security, with assistance from Chicago Fire Department develop fl oor safety guidelines. 2009: International Residential Code introduced, requires sprinklers in the basement. 2012: R501.3 Code updated to allow plywood, drywall membrane or equivalent. 2015: R Floor Joist Safety Code is a new number, but requirements and exceptions are unchanged. Watch our video: armstrongceilings.com/firesafety Now: More states are adopting the Floor Joist Safety Code. Armstrong Ceilings has safe and sound solutions! 41 ceilings.com

45 Armstrong Prelude Main Beams with the fi re relief notch (Item 8300) installed with HumiGuard Plus acoustical ceiling panels withstood the ASTM E119 fi re test for 23 minutes and 40 seconds versus the 14 minutes and 47 seconds for the plywood installation! ADDED BENEFITS OF THE ARMSTRONG CEILINGS SOLUTION IN BASEMENTS Access Pipes, Ducts and Wiring With other recommended membrane solutions, cutting through plywood or gypsum means breaking the seal. With Armstrong drop ceilings, simply remove a panel, fi nish your work, and replace the panel to re-seal your fi re safety membrane. Mold and Mildew perfect for basements Humidity stays fl at in moist conditions up to 95% humidity. Got a leak? No problem! Fix the leak and simply drop in a new panel to replace the old stained one! Acoustics block noise between fl oors and reduce the echo-chamber effect. WHAT TO ORDER TO COMPLETE YOUR ARMSTRONG SAFE AND SOUND CEILING 1.

52 ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What are Armstrong ceilings made of? Armstrong mineral board ceilings are made of inert mineral components, binders and inert fi ller materials, with up to 55% recycled content. Armstrong Ceilings also offers highperformance engineered resin and durable laminate plank ceilings, and rigid PVC panels and metal ceilings. What about insulation value between floors? Most ceilings are installed between fl oors that are maintained at the same temperature making insulation unnecessary. Basement recreation rooms are at least partly heated by heat fl ow through the ceiling from the heated space above. In that case, attempting to insulate the basement ceiling surface could actually reduce heat fl ow. Can I put insulation on the back of Armstrong ceilings? Only Armstrong suspended ceiling panels (24-in x 48-in) that are at least 5/8-in thick can be backloaded with additional insulation. Rolled insulation must be used and installed perpendicular to the cross tees so that the weight of the insulation rests on the suspended grid system, and there is an air space between the insulation and the panel. NOTE: Insulation must never be placed behind fi re-rated ceilings, unless designated in a UL design assembly. Backloading fi berglass panels is not recommended. Can Armstrong ceilings be painted? All Armstrong ceiling tiles and panels (except fi berglass) can be painted with latex paints. The front and back of 24-in x 24-in and 24-in x 48-in panels should be painted. NOTE: Armstrong Ceilings cannot guarantee that the published surface-burning characteristics, fi re- ratings, acoustical performance, dimensional stability/sag, or light refl ectance will remain the same after repainting. Field painting will void the warranty. Will painting acoustical ceilings affect acoustic efficiency? Armstrong acoustical ceilings can be painted with a slight loss of acoustical effi ciency using nonbridging paint which does not cover the holes. Can ceiling tile be used in the bathroom? Yes, if the bathroom is vented to the outside with a fan. Armstrong ceilings with superior sag/mold/mildew for use in areas of high humidity are recommended. Should ceiling materials adjust to room temperature before installation? Yes. Unpack ceiling materials 24 hours before installation to adjust to normal room conditions. Do not install during excessively humid conditions. See specifi c product instructions for best results. Can the ceiling be installed over embedded radiant-heat coil ceilings? No. An appreciable loss of heating effi ciency will result and the ceiling will not remain stable. Can a hanging or swag lamp be used with an Armstrong ceiling? Yes, if supported independently by an existing structural member. Can a new ceiling be cemented directly over old ceiling tiles? It s best to remove old tiles fi rst. In many cases, the old ceiling may have deteriorated and an adequate hold cannot be obtained. What is the minimum overhead distance required for a new suspended ceiling? Armstrong suspended ceilings require a minimum of 3-in (6-in if installing recessed lighting) of overhead clearance. Can existing light fixtures be used with a new ceiling? Yes. Armstrong ceilings are adaptable to standard lighting fi xtures. How many fluorescent light fixtures are needed for a new ceiling? Standard rule for light fi xtures is two 4-ft fl uorescent tubes for every 75 square feet of ceiling area. What kind of fluorescent lamps should be used with Armstrong ceilings? All lamps must be rapid-start. Warm white and cool white are most effi cient, but deluxe and natural-colored lamps provide a more pleasant atmosphere. Will the mineral ceiling sag over time? No. Armstrong ceilings are treated with a special back coating to resist moisture. When properly installed under the right conditions (no excessive humidity, etc.), they remain level and fl at. We recommend using sag/mold/mildew panels or fi berglass panels in areas of high or seasonal humidity; they are not recommended for spaces exposed to continuous moisture, such as shower rooms and swimming pool areas. Do Armstrong ceilings protect against the spread of fire? All Armstrong panels, tiles and planks are fi re-retardant and meet Class A fl ame-spread ratings, with the exception of WoodHaven planks, which meet class C fl ame-spread ratings.
