Illuma™ White - Johns Manville's innovative facer for ceiling tiles combines aesthetics and economics  Facing materials for ceiling tiles are very often coated before applying a top-dress surface. Now, Johns Manville introduces the new best-in-class glass fiber nonwoven facer Illuma™ White, which has a white coating already applied. Available in area weights from 150 to 300 g/sqm, Illuma™ White provides excellent surface coverage for ceiling tiles in buildings such as department stores, administration offices and warehouses.
 Manufactured with a special coating technology, this high-performance product offers an outstanding grade of whiteness. Illuma™ White is aesthetically appealing as a finished facing product or as a unique base product for further color coatings. The innovative new Illuma™ White offers value added properties including reduced costs during processing.
