Armstrong Ceilings has won 2013 Sustainability award from Willmott Dixon

24 May 2013

Armstrong Ceilings has won yet another award for its recycling schemes, this time for a demonstration trial with the exemplar organisation WRAP

The manufacturer of interior building solutions was presented with the 2013 Sustainability Award by Mike Hart, chief operating officer of major contractor Willmott Dixon Interiors, at the company's annual supply chain conference and awards on HMS Belfast in London.

This latest award was in recognition of Armstrong's part in a WRAP demonstration trial during the refurbishment by Wilmott Dixon Interiors of the London School of Economics where 3,500m2 or 17 tonnes of Ultima mineral tiles were stripped out by Chiltern Demolition and 2,000m2 of Metal microperforated planks with acoustic fleece were installed by BPC Interiors.

One and a half loads of the old Ultima tiles were returned to Armstrong's production facility at Team Valley, Gateshead, for 100% recycling into the manufacturing mix, while the new Metal tiles were delivered at the same time to local distributor SIG Interiors, ready for installation towards the end of the project.
