ARMSTRONG CEILING
SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES A
CRADLE TO CRADLE™ CPD
During the construction of
Lillmunkens Förskola preschool in
Munkfors, great importance was
given to the build’s environmental
and sustainability credentials.
Environmentally friendly and non-
toxic materials were used for both
the building, including the exterior
cladding, and the permanent
furnishings and furniture. A powerful CPD presentation on the
role of Cradle to Cradle™ design
in the built environment has been
approved by RIBA for Armstrong
Ceiling Solutions.“The circular
economy and Cradle to Cradle™
design,” presentation is designed
to help architects understand the
concept of a circular economy
and the industry drivers and
business case for adopting circular
design principles. It also helps
them evaluate the performance
characteristics of ceiling systems
designed for circularity.
VIVIX® by Formica Group was
specified by KLARA Architects
and Sweco Architects as part of
the facade to complement the
wood panelling. The panels were
also used in the areas subject
to high wear and tear such as
the entrances, stairs and storage
spaces. The durability of the panels
being ideal for environments
subject to high traffic footfall.

The CPD pulls no punches when
it explains how “the making of
things is destructive” and how the
construction industry has to change
from its traditional “take, make,
dispose” process to designing
buildings for disassembly and
re-use.
