Armstrong World Industries has launched its DataZone ceiling panels for data centers, which are engineered for a precise fit with DynaMax, DynaMax LT, and DynaMax Plus structural aluminum suspension systems, as well as Prelude XL Max 15/16-inch suspension systems. The ceiling panels rate a 0.85 Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) and 30 Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) per ASTM C423 and ASTM E1414, addressing noise control and durability requirements and providing a cost-effective alternative to premium acoustic solutions while maintaining structural compatibility for containment systems.

The mineral fiber construction of the panels ensures long-term strength in continuous-use environments. The panels are part of the Armstrong Sustain portfolio and include mold- and mildew-resistant surfaces backed by a 30-year limited ceiling system warranty.
