(Applies only to products designated as HumiGuard

Max and HumiGuard Plus in the product catalog.)

Armstrong Commercial Ceiling products with HumiGuard Max and HumiGuard Plus performance have a ten (10) year limited

warranty when

installed and used under normal conditions.

Commercial Ceiling products with HumiGuard Max and HumiGuard Plus performance are warranted to be free from defects

in materials or

factory workmanship for ten (10) years from the date of installation, except for obvious defects in materials or

factory workmanship, of which

Armstrong must be notified within 30 days of the date of installation.

Commercial Ceiling panels with HumiGuard Max and HumiGuard Plus performance are warranted to be free from sagging

and warping as a

result of defects in materials or factory workmanship for ten (10) years from the date of installation.

What will Armstrong do?

Commercial Ceiling panels with BioBlock

Plus protection are warranted to be free from the growth of mold, mildew, and

odor/stain causing

bacteria for ten (10) years from the date of installation. Ceiling panels treated with BioBlock Plus on the

painted surface contain a mold inhibiting

agent that provides broad‐spectrum control for the growth of mold and mildew

over the warranty period. The ceiling panels also resist the

growth of gram positive and gram negative odor and stain causing

bacteria. Armstrong HumiGuard Plus fiberglass and HumiGuard Max mineral

fiber ceiling panels do not have BioBlock Plus

treatment, but are warranted to be free from the growth of mold, mildew, and odor, stain causing

bacteria for ten (10) years

from the date of installation due to the inherent characteristics of the products.

All Armstrong limited warranties are subject to use under normal conditions. Abnormal conditions include exposure to

chemical fumes,

vibrations, moisture from conditions such as building leaks or condensation, excessive humidity, or excessive

dirt or dust buildup.

What will Armstrong do?

Subject to confirmation by Armstrong of such product failure, Armstrong will deliver, at Armstrong’s expense, F.O.B., to the

place of installation,

new product, of the same or similar type and grade, in an amount equal to that which is determined to

be defective.

What does this warranty not cover?

Damage that may occur from vibrations, fire, water, freezing temperature, accident or any form of abuse or exposure to

Abnormal Conditions is

not covered by this warranty. If subject to Abnormal Conditions, the products should be removed

immediately and replaced once the conditions

are normal.

Except for HumiGuard Max products, these products cannot be used in exterior applications. This warranty does not extend

to any component

of the suspension system such as, but not limited to, the metal grid or any other accessory used in the

installation of the ceiling products.

The ceiling product must not be used to support any other material except fiberglass thermal/sound control insulation

installed in the thickness,

density and manner according to Armstrong specifications, except that Mineral Fiber ceiling

products can be placed directly on top of Optima

Open Plan ceilings where approved by Armstrong (to achieve acoustical

performance).

Except for ceilings with BioBlock Plus, HumiGuard Plus fiberglass, and HumiGuard Max mineral fiber, the growth of mold or

bacteria is not

covered by this warranty nor is it the responsibility of Armstrong. All products should be maintained to avoid

excessive dirt or dust buildup or the

presence of excessive moisture that would provide a medium for microbial growth on

ceiling panels.

THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF ARMSTRONG AND THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER.

LIABILITY

IS LIMITED TO THAT SET FORTH BELOW AND ARMSTRONG SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INSTALLATION

OR REMOVAL

COST OR FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR PERSONAL INJURY.
