by Shane Henson — June 13, 2014—Building owners seeking flexibility when installing new ceiling panels may find the right product within Rockfon’s stone wool ceiling panel product line.
With a large selection of edge styles, sizes, and formats, Rockfon Sonar stone wool ceiling panels offer optimal design freedom and high performance, the company says. The panels’ lightly textured white surface delivers high light reflectance to maximize daylighting, high fire performance to support safety, and high sound absorption to increase speech intelligibility.
“Rockfon Sonar ceiling panels make the most of the design team’s flexibility and creativity. They can help better define areas and functions in a particular space, or create a unique look by spanning planks across entire corridors,” said Cory Nevins, Rockfon’s director of marketing for North America. “The ceiling panels’ edge design significantly affects the ceiling’s overall appearance, whether choosing a clean, monolithic aesthetic or a deeply recessed profile that highlights the grid with elegant shadows.”
Rockfon Sonar ceiling panels are a popular choice for open-plan offices, classrooms, retail shops and cafes, and health care waiting rooms, as well as multifunctional rooms, corridors, meeting rooms, foyers, lobbies and reception areas, the company notes. The panels feature a breadth of edge designations: square lay-in, square tegular narrow, angled tegular, direct mount, shiplap, semi-concealed, and fully concealed options. They are available in standard 2-by-2- to 4-by-4-foot formats or larger 2-by-8-foot planks and are also sustainably designed.
Rockfon’s extensive portfolio of stone wool acoustic ceiling solutions has earned UL Environment’s GREENGUARD Gold Certification for low-emitting products, the company says.
