Greymane recently hosted a free seminar with Armstrong Ceiling and Wall Solutions, with international representatives from USAI Lighting, LogiSon, JLC Tech and XAL joining experts from Armstrong to present to a local group of designers, architects, building managers, and other construction professionals.
A spokesperson said, “Greymane recently hosted a free seminar with Armstrong Ceiling and Wall Solutions – a leader in the design and manufacture of innovative commercial and residential ceiling, wall, and suspension system solutions in the Americas.
“International representatives from leading brands USAI Lighting, LogiSon, JLC Tech and XAL joined experts from Armstrong to present to a local group of designers, architects, building managers, and other construction professionals.
Viken Koukounian [Logison], Edgardo San Miguel [Armstrong], Alex Decouto [Greymane], Kenneth Good [Armstrong] and Robert Witter [Armstrong]:
“Attendees of the seminar walked away with an increased understanding of how acoustics and lighting affect interior environments – from the importance of both NRC [Noise Reduction Coefficient] and CAC [Ceiling Attenuation Class] to meet needs of today’s changing environments, to understanding the importance of acoustical treatments in noisy exposed structure environments.
“As a result, they received continuing education credits from the American Institute of Architects [AIA] and the International Design Continuing Education Council [IDCEC].”
Alex DeCouto, President of Greymane, said, “At Greymane we are always looking for ways to provide learning opportunities for our industry, and having been a supplier of Armstrong products for more than 20 years, we were incredibly pleased that Armstrong offered such strong support of our idea to offer this seminar locally.
“Using the latest technology and design trends, Armstrong is at the forefront of innovation in ceiling systems and wall solutions that are fit for the Bermuda environment. Many Armstrong ceiling panels are produced from high levels of recycled material, and are fully recyclable. It’s hugely important that we bring this level of advancement and expertise to the island, and share it with our peers in the industry.
“We welcome anyone looking to further their knowledge in this area to reach out to us – our team is always happy to hold workshops in our Builders’ Supply store, or simply give advice on the best product for the job.”
Edgardo San Miguel, Sales Manager for Armstrong World Industries, said, “We were pleased to partner with Greymane on this workshop and to see a high level of interest on the island among professionals in the construction and design industry.
“Participants were excited and engaged, reflecting a high level of professionalism in the Bermuda market. We hope to be back to Bermuda soon.”
Mr. DeCouto said, “We are delighted to be a distributor for Armstrong as they are a leading ceiling tile manufacturer based in North America. Using their high specification materials enables us to build commercial projects here in Bermuda that are on par with the latest office fit outs you would find in major metropolitan areas such as New York and London.
“At Greymane we place a high value on professionalism and quality. We do business with forward-thinking brands such as Armstrong because we endeavor to build and deliver innovative office spaces for our clients.”
