Acoustic correction is a necessary part of creating good indoor environments

Rockfon provides excellent acoustic properties

Stone wool is by nature a highly sound-absorbent material providing Rockfon ceilings excellent acoustic properties. This allows you to achieve a high level of acoustical comfort without having to use ceilings with dimples, perforations or holes. The acoustical ratings of Rockfon products have been tested in independent and certified laboratories.
