LANCASTER, Pa. (November 10, 2026) - Armstrong World Industries, Inc., an Americas leader in the design and manufacture of innovative interior and exterior architectural applications, now offers Wilsonart® Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) finishes across its WoodWorks® ACGI custom ceiling and wall portfolio. Wilsonart TFL finishes are available across Armstrong WoodWorks ACGI flat panels, solo baffles, beams, linear systems, grilles, and Encore products. Coordinating trim is also available. Featuring 18 woodgrain finishes (with additional Wilsonart finishes available upon request) on 17 WoodWorks ACGI product lines, Wilsonart TFL finishes provide an alternative to solid wood and veneer when a more uniform appearance is desired. Color options range from the light tones of Belair to the deeper brown tones of Valley Forge Elm, providing a variety of wood looks for ceiling and wall designs.
"Natural variation is part of the appeal of solid wood and veneer, but some projects call for a more consistent wood visual across an expansive ceiling or wall," said Richard Murlin, Director, Architectural Wood Systems at Armstrong World Industries. "By bringing Wilsonart finishes together with our WoodWorks ACGI custom capabilities, we're giving designers another way to achieve their vision while addressing practical needs for durability, cleanability, and consistency throughout a building."
Wilsonart TFL finishes on Armstrong ceilings and walls are well suited for high-traffic applications such as healthcare, education, transportation, retail, and offices, where consistent wood visuals and ease of maintenance are important considerations. The laminate finishes offer resistance to stains, scratches, and everyday wear, along with an easy-to-clean surface that requires minimal upkeep, supporting everyday maintenance. The offering includes ASTM E84 Class A fire performance, and FSC®-certified wood is available.
"This collaboration brings together Armstrong expertise in architectural ceiling and wall solutions with Wilsonart's leadership in decorative surfaces," said Joel Culp, Vice President of Laminates at Wilsonart. "The result is a versatile solution that gives architects and designers more freedom to create spaces that are both visually appealing and built to perform."
Armstrong WoodWorks ACGI products with Wilsonart TFL finishes are available to order now, with lead times of just six to eight weeks after drawing approval and dependent on project size and finish. All products are custom quoted. Updated product data pages and specification documents now include Wilsonart finish information.
