Armstrong World Industries (Armstrong) and Overcast Innovations, a McKinstry venture, have formed a strategic partnership to enhance building performance through innovative ceiling solutions. The collaboration integrates Overcast’s intelligent, modular ceiling systems with Armstrong’s ceiling products to create better spaces.

“Partnering with McKinstry on Overcast is a crucial step for Armstrong as we address the growing demand for healthy, sustainable, and efficient buildings,” said AWI CEO and president Vic Grizzle. “Combining Armstrong’s ceiling systems with Overcast’s pioneering design offers unique solutions that improve air quality, lighting, acoustics, and thermal comfort while boosting energy efficiency and construction speed.”
