• Semi-concealed grid ceilings
• Exposed grid ceilings

In the table on page 6 & 7 you can easily find the products with
the edge you’re looking for.

Concealed grid ceilings All the edge types below can be used to create a concealed grid
ceiling solution.
B C
Minimalist and elegant. These two concepts aptly describe ceiling
solutions with a concealed grid expression.

D M
A concealed grid ceiling system can be suspended, directly
fastened, or bonded with adhesive to the soffit.

With no visible grid, even ceilings that contain a variety of service

installations such as lighting, ventilation and smoke detectors,
will appear as a calm and discreet monolithic surface in the room.

D edge tiles have C edges on two opposite
sides and D edges on the adjacent sides. Tiles
with a D edge are fully demountable.

M 6 5.5

The M edge gives an expression of a ceiling

want to strengthen the shadow effect you

edge can be demounted.

 13

Semi-concealed grid ceilings E15 E24

The play of light and shade has always been an important design element.
E15 E24
It is used where visual impact has great significance. Or to create a special effect.

By combining the shape of the ceiling tile edges with the width and
colour of the suspension system, arresting and distinctive expressions
can be created which contribute to the overall architectural expression of the space.

Ceilings for semi-concealed grid ceiling have an E edge.

The E edge is available in four versions:

E 5

A ceiling constructed with E edge tiles

is installed in an exposed, but recessed

15-40
grid system. As the grid system is slightly E (Leaning)

8-10
recessed it creates a shadow effect between
the tiles. Tiles with an E edge can be
5
mounted in a grid system with either 15mm
or 24mm wide profiles. When tiles are
mounted with the narrower 15mm profiles,

15-20
E (Straight)
the grid system becomes less dominant in

8
the final ceiling expression. Ceiling tiles with
an E edge can be demounted.

Exposed grid ceilings A15 A24

An exposed grid system in a ceiling provides the room with a simple and
structured expression which accentuates the shape of the room.
Used to define specific functional areas in a room,
the ceiling can contribute to increasing user friendliness and
be used as a visual backdrop to elegantly emphasise particular architectural details.

Ceilings for fully exposed grid systems have an A edge. The A edge is available in two versions:

A
12-20

A ceiling solution with an A edge tile is a A

cost effective solution as it provides easy
access to the installations hidden by the
ceiling. Tiles with an A edge are also the
perfect complement to concealed and semi-
concealed ceilings, e.g. when used as a
perimeter trim. Tiles with an A edge can be
mounted in grid systems with either 15mm
or 24mm wide profiles. When tiles are
mounted with the narrower 15mm profiles,
the grid system becomes less dominant in
the final ceiling expression. Tiles with an
A edge can be demounted.
14 Tile dimensions and ceiling layout
Rockfon ceilings provide you with
extensive design freedom and
flexibility as our tiles and planks are
produced in sizes from 300mm wide
to 2400mm long.
By combining different module sizes you can make even small
rooms appear visually larger just as you can consciously use the
ceiling design in large spaces to define areas or functions thereby
contributing to increased well-being and user friendliness.
When our range of edge options are combined with the tile size
options, the design possibilities are endless. In the table on page
6 & 7 you will find an overview of the ceiling products that are
available and the various tile dimensions.

Why you should choose Rockfon

Highest class of sound absorption
• B y nature, Rockfon ceilings, wall absorbers and baffles have excellent sound absorption properties.
• Aesthetically pleasing smooth surfaces – without reliance on aesthetically challenging acoustical
‘perforations’ or ‘holes’.
• All declared values are tested in independent and certified laboratories.

Best sound absorption in the speech frequency range

• R ockfon ceilings perform even better in the speech frequency range contributing to better speech
intelligibility.

Best combination of sound absorption and sound insulation

• O nly Rockfon Sonar dB tiles can provide both Class A sound absorption and a high level of sound
insulation with Dn,f,w values up to 44 dB.
• Extensive sound insulation documentation from certified laboratories e.g. with light fittings, sound barriers
and absorbing overlay material in plenum.

Best multi-angle sound absorption

• D
 ue to the acoustical porosity of stone wool and the specially formulated, thin and acoustically ‘open’ surfaces,
Rockfon ceilings efficiently absorb sound from all incident angles.

* aw and absorption class is measured at 200mm construction height unless otherwise specified.
** Dn,f,w value is measured in a lab according to ISO 10848-2. The total sound insulation of a construction is dependent on a lot of factors,
e.g. partition walls, celing type (e.g. material, tile dimensions and edge types), cut throughs and connections.
*** For baffles and islands, sound data are expressed as the Equivalent Absorption Area (m²) per single item,
and data are dependent on the distance between the items.

20 Acoustics is the science of sound
Acoustic well-being ROOM ACOUSTICS
in spaces is primarily Room acoustics describes how sound behaves in an
enclosed space. It deals with the sound propagation
determined by inside a room: sound absorption, reflection and
diffusion on all surfaces and objects in the room.
two factors:
BUILDING ACOUSTICS
• sound absorption Building acoustics deals with the sound propagation
through a building element i.e. partition wall,
• sound insulation separating floor construction, facade, window, etc.

SOUND ABSORPTION 1. Disorientation: The desired level of sound insulation

When a sound wave hits a material, part
of the energy is reflected, another part
is absorbed in the material and some
is transmitted. The sound absorption
coefficient α is the ratio of the absorbed
sound energy to the incident sound energy.
The result is a coefficient between 0 and 1
where 1 means that all sound is absorbed
and 0 means that no sound is absorbed but
all sound is reflected.
Sound absorption is important for the
users’ acoustic experience of the room.
The appropriate amount of sound
absorption makes the space suitable for
its intended use: it controls the sound
level, prevents undesirable effects, reduces
disorientation and increases speech
intelligibility.
The effectiveness of sound absorption is
determined by the interior layout of the
space and the materials used in it.
Spaces with inadequate or no sound-
absorbing materials tend to be too
reverberant and produce echoes. An echo is
generated by sound reflecting from surfaces
and objects in the space multiple times.
The three main problems caused by too
much echo are:

Sound is received by the listener from
all directions at more or less the same
volume level. The sound level is virtually
the same everywhere in the space.
The direction of the sound source
cannot be determined, and the result
is disorientation. Disorientation has a
negative influence on concentration.
2. Poor speech intelligibility:
The many reflections combine and
make speech unintelligible or difficult to
understand.
3. ‘The cocktail party effect’:
In an informal situation, people speaking
are disruptive to each other because
the sound level is practically the same
everywhere in the space. The people in
the room talk louder and louder until
everyone is shouting. This is known as
the cocktail party effect. The cocktail
party effect has been responsible for
sound levels in kindergartens being
measured at over 90 dB(A), far higher
than the level at which noise-induced
hearing loss can occur.
SOUND INSULATION
Sound insulation is the degree to which
sound is prevented from penetrating
into another space. The sound insulation
influences the sound level in the receiving
space, and therefore affects:
• privacy;
• the ability to concentrate in the
receiving space.
d
depends on the circumstances. There are
very few requirements for sound insulation
for two adjacent spaces with low privacy /
non sensitive activities and low sound levels.
If a space such as a management office is
adjacent to one of these spaces, the sound
insulation requirements are very high.
In buildings, sound can transfer to adjacent
spaces in various ways:
• D irect sound: through certain
constructions such as a partition wall, or
from the plenum through a suspended
ceiling. The latter case may involve
equipment sound or the like;
• Longitudinal sound: sound that
transfers via the suspended ceiling, into
the plenum and then via the suspended
ceiling of the adjacent space;
• Impact sound: this is sound that
transfers to other spaces by direct
contact with the construction, e.g.
footsteps;
• Flanking sound: this is sound that
transfers to other spaces via ‘short
circuit’ routes - this can be caused
by common ceiling plenums, poorly
isolated floors, services etc.

Why acoustics are so important
Peter is not stupid
– he just can’t hear nor understand what the teacher is saying.
When sound becomes noise, people get
irritated and stressed. This is not only true
in schools, but also in offices, hospitals, and
other public buildings.
Many scientific and empirical studies
describe the impact of poor acoustics:
• In schools, up to 70% of the
consonants spoken by teachers cannot
be heard by pupils.1
• In open plan offices, 60% of employees
say that noise is the single most
disturbing factor.2
• In offices, 70% of employees believed
that their productivity would be higher
if their environment was less noisy.3

• In offices, normal noise reduces the 1) “Speech Intelligibility in Classrooms” research project conducted

SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY Some regulators specify minimum levels

Speech intelligibility is an expression
for how well speech can be heard and
understood in a room. Many factors
have an influence on the level of speech
intelligibility. For example, the speech signal
itself, the direction of the source sound, the
background noise level, the reverberation
time of the room and the room shape.
A short reverberation time will e.g. enable
a listener to hear and understand the first
word – and the sound from that will die out
before the sound of the next word reaches
the listener. Also, if the sound is drowned
in background noise, the listener will have
difficulty understanding what is being said.
SOUND INSULATION
The total airborne sound insulation between
adjacent spaces expressed by the DnT,w,
(DnT(Tmf,max),w in the case of schools),
R´w or DnT,A values represents the ability of
a total construction i.e. partition + ceiling
+ floor and the connections / flanking

other sound transmitted through the air
and building elements. It is rated in dB

of 35-45 dB between offices, 45-50 dB
between school classrooms and 50-60 dB
between apartments and dwellings.
Mass, air-tightness and sound absorption
are the primary properties that determine
the ability of a material to insulate against
sound.
The impact sound insulation between Sound transmission paths between adjacent spaces
the floors of a multistorey building is
an expression of the ability of the floor
construction to insulate against the sounds
generated by direct contact / impacts
e.g. footsteps, slamming doors. It is
characterised by the impact sound pressure
level L’nT,w (L’nT(Tmf,max),w in the case of schools)
and is rated in dB. The lower the value, the
lower the sound pressure level thus, the
better the impact sound insulation. Some
regulators specify maximum L’nTw levels of
60 dB in classrooms and offices.

AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT
OF ROCKFON COMPARED
TO PERFORATED SOUND
ABSORBERS

Rockfon ceilings have a uniform, non

perforated, acoustically ‘porous/open’
nature which gives them the ability
to not only absorb sound at random
incidence but also at shallow angles.
In large spaces, such as open plan
offices and receptions, you may have
experienced the undesirable effect of
conversations or ringing phones on one
side of the room being clearly heard
on the other side. This disturbing effect
can be experienced when perforated
plaster board ceilings or perforated
metal ceilings are used whereas Rockfon
ceilings solve this issue due to their
excellent multi angle absorption.

WEIGHTED SOUND ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT (aw)

Calculated in accordance with ISO 11654 using the practical sound
absorption coefficient αp values at standard frequencies and comparing
them with a reference curve. The practical sound absorption coefficient
αp is the average of the three 1/3 octave αs values centred on the octave
band frequency and rounded in steps of 0.05. The αw reference curve
is shifted downwards in increments of 0.05. This shifts the reference
curve to the point where the sum of the negative deviations from the
measured values is ≤ 0.10. When this level is reached, the
αw value is recorded as the value of the reference curve at 500 Hz. αw
is communicated by all suspended ceiling suppliers in Europe as it is
the method which has been adopted as the norm for CE marking of
suspended ceilings.

 How to compare ceilings
26 in terms of sound insulation
ROOM TO ROOM INSULATION
The Dn,f,w value measured in laboratories represents the
longitudinal sound insulation provided by the ceiling (and the
ceiling only) between two rooms (room to room sound insulation).
Just like sound absorption it is measured at third octave band
frequencies and is aggregated into a single figure through
comparison with a reference curve.
Due to a change in the standard method of measurement from
ISO 140/9-1985 to ISO 10848-2:2006, room to room sound
insulation is now expressed by the Dn,f,w value which can be
considered equal to the former Dn,c,w value.
The Dn,f,w value is used by designers and acousticians to predict the
total sound insulation DnT,w (R’w, DnT,A) between adjacent spaces.
The higher the Dn,f,w value the better the room to room sound
insulation.
It must be noted that in practice, the presence of sound absorbing
material lowers the sound pressure level in a room. When using a
highly sound-absorbing ceiling, i.e. αw > 0.80 in the source room,
the sound pressure level in this room is reduced. Therefore less
sound in the source room means less sound is transmitted to the
receiving room. Also, the sound transmitted to the receiving room
is further reduced due to the highly sound absorbing ceiling there.
With low absorption ceiling αw = 0.10
a speaking person leads to a
sound pressure level of 69 dB.
69 dB
- 5 dB Effect of a sound absorbing ceiling:
With high absorption ceiling αw = 0.90
a person speaking with the same energy
as above leads to a sound pressure level
of 64 dB.
64 dB
With an identical Dn,f,w value (in this case 44 dB), a high-absorbing ceiling contributes to a lower sound pressure level than a low-absorbing ceiling.
This beneficial effect of high sound absorbing ceilings is not
reflected in the Dn,f,w values measured in laboratories.
In other words, two ceilings with the same Dn,f,w but with different
sound absorption coefficients, i.e. αw = 0.10 and αw = 0.90,
will result in practice in different perceived sound insulation
performance. The ceiling with the highest sound absorption will in
reality result in better sound insulation (see figure below). The effect
of sound absorption on the resulting sound pressure level can be
calculated and has been verified through practical testing.
For rooms in which the separating walls do not extend to the
structural soffit, but either stop at or just above suspended
ceiling level, it is possible to further improve room to room sound
insulation by placing additional sound absorbing overlay material
on the ceiling or by the installation of vertical sound barriers.
Sound barriers are stone wool based products placed on top of
partition walls. Light fixtures and other open services create sound
leakage. Acoustic boxes /silencers installed over such services
absorb and insulate against the transmitted sound, thus improving
sound insulation and helping to maintain the acoustic integrity of
the complete installation.
In conclusion, the combined effect of sound absorption and sound
insulation can solve most acoustic requirements.

DIRECT SOUND INSULATION

The direct sound insulation of a ceiling expressed as the sound
reduction index Rw measures the reduction of sound passing
through the suspended ceiling. High values of Rw mean good
direct sound insulation.

A ceiling with high sound reduction index Rw is extremely

important when exposed to excessive noise from service
installations in the plenum or when the sound insulation
performance of a separating floor construction needs to be
improved.

Noise from service installations in the plenum is greatly reduced by

ceilings with a high sound reduction index (Rw).

ROCKFON dB PRODUCTS

Rockfon dB products perform best in

class with a combination of high sound
absorption and high sound insulation.

MAXIMISE SOUND INSULATION AND

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
The Rockfon dB range has been designed to block sound from
passing through the ceiling and as such can have a significant
contribution to both high room-to-room and direct sound
insulation. What makes the dB range special is that it provides a
unique combination of both outstanding sound insulation and
sound absorption in one tile.
Only Rockfon’s dB range is available as a class A absorber with
up to 44 dB sound insulation. The Rockfon sandwich technology
combines a sound-absorbing front surface, air-tightness, and
absorption in the plenum, which provides a unique combination
of high sound absorption and high sound insulation.
C AND Ctr VALUES
To better evaluate the effectiveness of sound insulation on
specifc noise sources, the C and Ctr adaptation term values
have been introduced.
C is the adaptation term for pink noise. It is used to evaluate
sound insulation for living activities, i.e. talking, music, radio,
TV, children playing, etc.
Ctr is the adaptation term for traffic noise. It is used to
evaluate sound insulation for i.e. urban traffic noise.
The lower the adaptation factor, C or Ctr, the better.
Example: A ceiling with a Dn,f,w (C;Ctr) value of 40 (-2;-6) will
reduce traffic noise by 34 dB (40+(-6)).

In combination with vertical sound barriers and additional sound

absorbing overlay material in the plenum, Rockfon dB products
can maximise sound insulation in very demanding situations.

According to Julian Treasure, shops can

poor acoustics.
Students in a classroom There are many articles and studies of
classroom acoustics - and with good
reason: Most schools in Europe were
built several decades ago with very
little focus on acoustics. The result can
be quite devastating. In severe cases
students cannot hear/understand up
to 70% of the consonants spoken by
the teacher. Needless to say, this makes
it almost impossible to learn anything.
What is primarily required here is low
background sound levels, good speech
intelligibility and short reverberation
times. Reverberation times should be
0.3 – 0.8 second depending on the
size of the space and the age of the
students. For future proof, all inclusive
classrooms, RT should be < = 0.4

Situation Acoustic challenge
The sound of rain In some buildings the background
on the roof sound levels created by rain on the roof
are unacceptable - the rain is simply
too loud. Appropriate lightweight roof
design - combined with dual purpose
sound absorbing and sound insulating
ceilings – enables you to meet the best
practice acoustic environmental criteria.
Rain noise test data in accordance with
ISO 140-8: 2006.
Ceiling void (plenum) Excessive noise in ceiling voids should
noise ideally be ‘addressed’ at source, i.e.
‘prevention is better than cure’. But
if this is not possible, dual purpose
sound-absorbing and insulating ceilings
can make a significant difference.
Ceilings that achieve specific levels of
void/plenum to room sound insulation
values, but also have “built-in” sound
absorption on the “back” as well as the
front surface will significantly reduce the
noise in and from the ceiling void.
Areas with limited Stairwells and basements typically

• Stairwells reflecting floors. The volumetric needs
• Corridors of traditional suspended ceilings and
• Basements the actual ceiling height are often
in conflict, which makes it hard to
provide the required level of sound
absorption. Reducing the ceiling void
depth has a very negative effect on
thin, low absorption materials – and
this effect is even more dramatic at
lower frequencies. It is important to
ensure that the chosen solutions are
‘acoustically’ documented for the
relevant installation depth required.
Thermal mass floors Thermal mass is a growing architectural
trend with the aim being to use
fluctuations in daily temperature as
the basis for air conditioning. Since
cooling and heating often happens
via the structural concrete soffit, a
complete ‘wall to wall’ ceiling solution
would make the heat exchange less
efficient. Research shows that covering
up to 50% of the ceiling area has no
significant influence on cooling. With
83% covered, the coefficient is still
around 70%.
At the same time, the acoustic
challenges are the same as in other
buildings.

The challenge
Fortunately, fires are rare, but when they
hit schools, hospitals or other buildings,
the consequences can be disastrous. Today
in any country in Europe, 1 to 4 people in
200.000 will die from fire.
To contribute to the prevention of the
devastating effects of fires, two European
regulations apply to construction materials:
• R
 eaction to fire’ determines whether a
material fuels a fire. The EU Reaction to
fire evaluation criteria are the material’s
ignitability, rate of heat release,
Our contribution to performance
Most of our ceilings are rated A1. The
few which are not A1 are rated A2-s1,d0.
The difference between A1 and A2-s1,d0
is that Rockfon’s A1 ceilings release their
very limited calorific content in a more
controlled way. It does not flash up light like
e.g. paper. So A1 ceilings add some further
safety and time to evacuate the premises.
In terms of smoke, all Rockfon ceilings
satisfy the most stringent criteria for smoke
emission. This is particularly important as
more than 66% of fatalities can be related
to smoke.
In Europe, several ways of classifying and
testing fire resistance are used.

of these safety aspects. Most countries
have adopted minimum targets in this
area and they can be found in National
Building Regulations.
• Fire resistance’ indicates how well a
building element - for a stated period
of time - can hold back fire and prevent
it from penetrating from one room to
another. Many countries have adopted
minimum targets in this area.
The basic criteria used to characterise the
fire resistance of a building element are:
R : load-bearing capacity (to provide
strength and stability of the building)
E : Integrity (to keep the element intact)
I : Insulation (to keep the temperature low
on the unexposed side of the element,
expressed in minutes)
An element fulfilling all these basic criteria
for 30 minutes will be classified REI 30.
Even within the generally known fire resistance
classification expressed as a combination
of REI and the duration of the protection,
which is used in many countries, different
test methods yield very different results.

The challenge Recommendations

People notice misshapen ceilings and they
give a negative impression of the room and
of the building. Almost everyone knows of
a building in which the suspended ceilings
need renovating. One reason for this is the
materials inability to perform in all humidity
environments.
Humidity can weaken the structure of
certain ceiling tiles, which then start to lose
their shape because of their own weight.
As a result, the ceiling no longer looks flat
and in extreme cases it may even sag or fall
out of the grid.
Temperature changes cause humidity level
changes. Air contains a certain amount
of water vapour, which is expressed in
% of relative humidity (RH). If the RH
reaches 100%, the vapour will condense.
In buildings under construction where the
building materials have not dried out or are
not hermetically sealed, moisture problems
can occur. On a nice summer’s day, daytime
temperatures can be around 30°C, whereas
Rockfon products withstand up to
at night it can easily cool down to 17°C,

increasing humidity levels and potentially
causing condensation.
In wet rooms such as swimming pools
and sanitary areas, and in kitchens, the
humidity level is naturally very high,
requiring special attention.
CE marking (EN 13964) has implemented a
measurement method where the deflection
of ceiling tiles is measured horizontally
under humid conditions. Deflection is
divided in classes of which class 1 is the
highest class. The measured deflection
may not exceed the product span divided
by 500, meaning that a 600 x 600mm
tile should not deflect more than 1.2mm.
The humid conditions are classed from A
(lowest class) to C (highest class in a non-
corrosive atmosphere). The test performed
on tiles bending under their own weight is
indicated as 0N i.e. no additional load.

Our contribution to performance

Most Rockfon products in standard
dimensions are rated 1/C/0N. This means
that Rockfon ceiling tiles are dimensionally
stable, even at humidity levels of up to
100% RH. As the humidity inside a building
has no influence on Rockfon ceiling
tiles, the ceiling can be installed at all
temperatures ranging from 0ºC to 40ºC.
This also means that no acclimatisation is
necessary and that it is possible to install
Rockfon ceiling tiles during the very early
stage of the build (when windows are not
fully sealed) without any risk of deflection
of the tiles. FasTrac installation methods
utilising reduced numbers of hangers and
grid components also benefit from the low
weight, stable, non hygroscopic nature of
Rockfon tiles which also retain their superior
properties even in infrequently heated and
unheated rooms.
15 YEAR GUARANTEE
Our products can withstand even extreme
climatic conditions and still remain
dimensionally stabile. For that purpose the
life expectancy of our product is high.
This is why we offer a 15 year product
guarantee. For more information and
conditions please contact your Rockfon
sales representative.

special industries. The Aerospace industry
developed a test method and classification
of dust particles in the air, the USFS209D,

42 Thermal insulation
The challenge
No question about it, environmental issues
matter. Whenever a suspended ceiling
or a wall absorber is used under a roof
or an external wall, thermal insulation
is a relevant issue. This is the case when
shopping centres build over parking garages
as well as in flat-roof buildings or old
Our contribution to performance
The discovery of stone wool was related
to the need for thermal insulation and has
since become an important technology in
the construction industry. The base material

well as Facett and Industrial panels also
provide good thermal insulation.
Thermal conductivity is measured according
to norm EN12667.
Rockfon ceilings are the best choice for
thermal insulation in combination with
sound absorption. Rockfon provides products
specifically designed to fulfil this dual
function. To achieve the full benefit of these
features in practice, it is necessary to avoid
thermal bridges and building condensation
risk analysis is recommended.
Light reflection
The challenge
Light is important to our well-being and
performance. The quality of modern
artificial light has improved, but the most
comfortable light still comes from the sun.
As a result, the light reflecting capacity of
a ceiling not only reduces electricity bills
but also improves the quality of lighting
conditions.
Our contribution to performance
Rockfon’s white ceilings typically provide
a light reflection of 85-86%. In addition,
Rockfon ceilings provide full light diffusion so
that no shining spots or glare disturb the eye.

and is denoted with a Y value. This value
is relevant for lighting specialists when
calculating lighting requirements.
Rockfon ceilings have a homogenous
surface without any visible holes or
perforations.
44 Impact resistance
The challenge
In schools and sports halls, the impact
resistance of construction materials is an
important matter. As well as highly effective
sound absorption, materials need to offer
resistance to the impact of balls and the
rough treatment of students.
In certain application areas the use of
Rockfon products on ceilings and walls
requires assessment of their resistance
to mechanical impact. In Germany the
DIN 18032 Part 3 standard was developed
to assess ball impact resistance of wall
and ceiling panels in sports facilities. Wall
elements are classified as “Ball Impact
Resistant” if they can withstand the impacts
from a hand ball (54 times at 23.5m/s
impact speed) as well as a hockey ball

according to EN 13964 Section D.
Impact resistance may also be relevant to
assess for ceiling systems therefore the
European Norm for suspended ceilings,
EN 13964, has adopted the principle of
testing impact resistance from DIN 18032-3.
For suspended ceilings, three classes of
impact resistance 1A, 2A and 3A are
defined depending on the speed of impact
of a handball (36 times). Speed of impact
for suspended ceiling systems is reduced
relative to wall elements due to the nature
of the installation and the inevitable force
of gravity.
to withstand high compressive forces.
The amount of continuous fibres used
determines the impact resistance level.
CE marking 45

Not everybody can be a ceiling expert. So
customers need to be able to trust the
declared performance of ceiling suppliers
and that is exactly the purpose of CE
marking. The European Committee for
Standardization (CEN) introduced the EN
13964 norm for suspended ceilings which
has been mandatory since July 1, 2007. The
norm aims to make it easier to compare
suspended ceilings. To achieve this, it
defines those product characteristics which
can or must be declared on product labels
and in product documentation. As reliability
is one of our core values, Rockfon has
been one of the first to place CE marked
products on the market.
In the interest of maximising the
information we provide to our customers,
the Rockfon Group has selected a
considerable number of parameters that are
now declared for each of our CE marked
products. Rockfon not only declares the
mandatory properties Reaction to Fire and
Emission of Formaldehyde, but also Sound
Absorption, Flexural Tensile Strength, Light
Reflection, Thermal Insulation, Impact
Resistance and Sound Insulation when
relevant. We are one of the few ceiling
suppliers that declare flexural tensile
strength. This is very important as many
ceiling tiles do not withstand humidity well
and are at risk of sagging.
All relevant Rockfon ceiling tiles have been
CE marked since October 2005, across all
our factories in Europe. In addition, Rockfon
has chosen the highest level of attestation
of conformity (AOC). This means that the
independent certification organization
– Belgian Construction Certification
Association (BCCA) – has verified our initial
type testing program and checks our whole
supply chain twice a year.
The initial type testing has been performed
on all declared values by independent and
certified laboratories. Furthermore, our
continuously audited Factory Production
Control will always ensure that customers
receive products that live up to the
standards of the product performance
declared on the CE marked label.

48 A ceiling for every situation
“Knowing how people will use something is essential”
This is a quote from American professor of computer science,
Donald Arthur Norman. And in essence that is exactly what we do
at Rockfon.
Each building is different in nature and purpose – and thus
there are different demands on the technical performance of
the building materials. The ceiling covers a substantial part of
the indoor surface area – and the choice of ceiling has a great
impact on the indoor environment and performance of the
room. Factors such as sound absorption, sound insulation, light
reflection, fire safety, hygiene, hygroscopic nature, cleanability,
demountability and resistance to humidity and micro organisms
are examples of technical performance criteria that must be
considered before a choice of ceiling can be made.
For example – in buildings and rooms where many people will
gather there are additional demands for enhanced fire safety.
Or if a lot of hard surfaces are chosen, such as stone, marble
floors and glass, the ceilings must provide additional sound
absorption to compensate for the room acoustics.
For buildings in the health sector, cleanability is crucial and being
non hygroscopic as well as resistant to varying levels of humidity is
an important factor everywhere - even more so in wet room areas
such as bathrooms, swimming pools, etc.
Ceilings from the Rockfon Group all have strong technical
performance criteria and make an important contribution to
creating a good indoor environment in all building types.

50 Office
Below you will find our product recommendations for office
buildings. By “Office” we not only mean traditional office
buildings or room-types. Offices can also be an integral part of
other building types such as production buildings, schools or
hospitals.
In open plan offices many employees work in a relatively small
space. When lots of people speak at the same time it makes it
harder to understand what others are saying. As a result people
tend to speak even louder hence the need for high performance
sound absorbing surfaces to reduce the noise levels.

Managers, lawyers and other office workers often work with
complex issues that require a lot of concentration. So they need
a quiet environment. In addition, they often have to pass on
sensitive and challenging information and so privacy can be key.
Because of this it is very important that these meetings are held in
a calm and friendly environment. Furthermore, it is important that
employees and clients can speak up without fearing that people
in the neighbouring rooms will hear them. For these reasons,
appropriate levels of both sound absorption and sound insulation
are of prime importance.
In addition to technical performance, many offices also pay special
attention to aesthetic design. Company leaders are challenging
their employees, but also want to provide them with the most
appropriate working environment for them to succeed. In
addition, for many companies, particularly those in the service
industry, the office is the only tangible asset they can show to
customers. A pleasant office means a successful company, a
company you can trust.

Education 51

Rockfon ceilings can be used to comply with Building Regulations
Approved Document E and Building Bulletin 93 (Acoustic Design
in Schools).
Listed below are our product recommendations for Education
buildings. By Education we mean all buildings where some sort
of teaching takes place. This includes primary and secondary
schools, sixth form schools, universities, colleges and special needs
establishments.
Education buildings not only include learning facilities
but also practical space such as canteens, halls, corridors
and administrative offices, where each space has different
requirements.
New build and refurbishment budgets in the education sector
are often limited, which obliges all to focus on the essential
requirements. As a result focus lies more on achieving top rated
performance in terms of acoustics and fire safety at a reasonable
whole life cost. With increasing environmental consciousness,
creating the right indoor environment is gaining importance.
In day care centres, sound pressure levels of up to 90 db(A)
have been measured, which makes sound absorption a prime
requirement. This is also true for classrooms in primary and
secondary schools, however here it is also important that students
at the back of the room can understand the teacher just as well
as those sat at the front. With many people located in the same
room, high demands are placed on the acoustic environment
specifically with regards to speech intelligibility. In nurseries and
primary schools, the use of a ceiling that absorbs sound effectively
in the child speech frequency range is important. This provides
good learning conditions and helps student concentration.
Ceilings with high absorption – combined with strategically placed
wall absorbers at a high level and on the back walls – can help
create appropriate room acoustics and compliance with regulations.
In universities, the acoustics for large lecture halls require
special attention. It is important not only to achieve the correct
reverberation times but also to place surfaces with different
absorption characteristics in different areas of the space in order
to enhance speech intelligibility.

The design of public spaces which have many customers
constantly moving in and out of its space is an art on its own,
employing many interior designers. They are constantly looking for
new ways of presenting these spaces so that customers not only
remember them, but connect with them in a positive way. For this
reason two parameters are of prime importance: Ceilings must
integrate and enhance the design and provide good acoustics.

Healthcare 53

Rockfon ceilings can be used to comply with HTM 60 ceilings and
HTM 08-01 acoustics for use in healthcare applications.
elow please find our product recommendation for healthcare
buildings. By ‘Healthcare’ we mean buildings such as hospitals,
laboratories, health centres, doctor and dentist practices or
nursing homes.
In addition to hygiene, acoustics and fire safety are an important
consideration. The right acoustic environment is paramount for
a calm atmosphere which promotes speedy recuperation and
patient rehabilitation. Sound absorbing ceilings improve ward
acoustics and also help by reducing he sounds of voices, footsteps
and trolleys on the typically hard wearing floor finishes found in
the busy corridors and streets.

Just like in schools, a hospital consists of many different spaces,
each with its own requirements. However, it is a necessity for all
areas to reduce the risk of spreading infection. Appropriate building
materials can contribute to this need. Rockfon ceilings do not
contain organic nutrients, are non hygroscopic and do not promote
the growth of microorganisms such as mould or bacteria. At
present, no general standard European regulations exist to measure
the development of microorganisms in and on construction
materials. To further contribute to a safe environment, ceilings
should be able to be regularly cleaned and disinfected. In some
cases, high pressure cleaning equipment is appropriate.
l
el
Fire safety plays an important role, as hospitals are very complex
and time-consuming buildings to evacuate. Truly fire safe ceiling
solutions which remain stable in the event of fire can have a great
influence on the effectiveness of escape routes and the ease with
which fire fighters can enter buildings in the event of a fire.
Good lighting conditions with the correct lux level and low glare,
combined with as much natural light as possible is desirable for
convalescence. To maximise lighting conditions, ceilings should
have a light coloured matt surface with a diffuse light reflection
exceeding 80%.

With many people located in the same room, it places high
demands on the acoustic solutions given. To enhance the
customer experience, the sound generated needs to be regulated
and good speech intelligibility is crucial. At the same time design
options, such as colours, can contribute to the experience and the
performance of the building (i.e. a black ceiling in a cinema).
For sports facilities there are also increased needs for impact
resistance and resistance to humidity.
Fire safety plays an important role, when large groups of people
occupy any confined space. Truly fire safe ceiling solutions which
remain stable in the event of fire can have a great influence on
the effectiveness of escape routes and the ease with which fire
fighters can enter buildings in the event of a fire. This can have a
very beneficial effect on saving lives, reducing the cost of building
fire damage and downtime of the facility should a fire occur.

Industry 55

Below please find our product recommendations for Industry.
The ceiling requirements in the Industrial sector are typically
defined by the nature of what is being produced and stored at the
premises. Heavy industry sets different requirements to the food
industry, a workshop or a timber warehouse. Often a suspended
ceiling cannot be installed due to the service installations of the
production facility, so baffles and wall absorbers are traditionally a
good choice for industrial buildings.
When designing production areas, many different criteria must
be considered. Appropriate lighting conditions, enhanced fire
safety, and in some cases high levels of hygiene are some of the
key factors. However, in industrial applications, sound levels are
generally much higher than in other work areas. Great emphasis
should be placed on obtaining and maintaining comfortable
acoustic conditions for employees and people in the surrounding
locality.
It is generally accepted that there is a quantifiable risk of hearing
damage due to daily exposure (8 hours or more) to continuous
sound levels between 85 and 90 dB. To ensure the best acoustic
conditions in any industrial area containing noisy machines sited
on hard floors, focus should be placed on isolation and sound
insulation of the noise source so that they affect as few people as
possible. Where this is not possible, acoustic screening using wall
absorbers and baffles will help to absorb the excess noise.

FIRE PERFORMANCE
General: Rockfon ceiling tiles have a core of stone wool. Stone wool is non-
combustible with a melting point of more than 1000°C.

Reaction to fire: Class A1 in accordance with EN 13501-1.

Fire protection: The fire resistant properties of stone wool ensure Rockfon ceiling
tiles provide fire protection in construction. The fire protection properties of Rockfon
ceilings have been tested and classified in accordance with European norm EN 13501-2
and/or national norms depending on requirements in national building codes.

HUMIDITY RESISTANCE AND DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

(FLEXURAL TENSILE STRENGTH)
Rockfon ceiling tiles are dimensionally stable even at humidity levels of up to 100% RH
and can be installed at all temperatures ranging from 0ºC to 40°C.

No acclimatisation is necessary.

Sonar is predominantly classified as Class 1/C/0N in accordance with EN 13964.

However, certain module sizes (width above 700mm) are Class 2/C/0N.

LIGHT REFLECTION
White, 85% diffuse light reflection in accordance with ISO 7724-2.

HYGIENE
Stone wool has no nutritional value and therefore it provides no sustenance to harmful
micro-organisms.

CLEAN ROOM CLASSIFICATION

Sonar is classified as Class 5 in accordance with ISO 14644-1.

CLEANING
The surface can be vacuum cleaned with a soft brush attachment.

The surface can also be cleaned once a week using a sponge or cloth and warm water
(max. 40°C) with a slightly alkaline detergent (max. pH 10) without alcohol, ammonia or
chlorine. Cleaning with a damp sponge or cloth may render the surface slightly shinier
and we therefore recommend cleaning the whole surface evenly for best results.

AFTERCARE
The tiles can be treated with Rockfon finishing paint, PVA water-based special paint
with safety code 00-1, applied in the correct amount with an airless spray
with good capacity. The surface of the tiles must be clean and dry and the existing
paint surface must be firmly adhered to the tile prior to refinishing.
Heavily discoloured tiles should be replaced.
The painting of acoustic tiles reduces the sound absorption by approximately 10%.

ENVIRONMENT
A representative selection of Rockfon products have been awarded the
Danish Indoor Climate Label and the Finnish Indoor Climate Label (M1).

Sonar is recyclable.
Sonar® Activity
Sonar Activity is designed for classrooms and open plan
offices where speech intelligibility is crucial and noise
and activity levels are very high.

FIRE PERFORMANCE
General: Rockfon ceiling tiles have a core of stone wool. Stone wool is non-
combustible with a melting point of more than 1000°C.

Reaction to fire: Class A1 in accordance with EN 13501-1.

Fire protection: The fire resistant properties of stone wool ensure Rockfon ceiling
tiles provide fire protection in construction. The fire protection properties of Rockfon
ceilings have been tested and classified in accordance with European norm EN 13501-2
and/or national norms depending on requirements in national building codes.

HUMIDITY RESISTANCE AND DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

Rockfon ceiling tiles are dimensionally stable even at humidity levels of up to 100% RH
and can be installed at all temperatures ranging from 0ºC to 40°C.

No acclimatisation is necessary.

LIGHT REFLECTION
White, 85% diffuse light reflection in accordance with ISO 7724-2.

HYGIENE
Stone wool has no nutritional value and therefore it provides no sustenance to harmful
micro-organisms.

CLEANING
The surface can be vacuum cleaned with a soft brush attachment.

The surface can also be cleaned once a week using a sponge or cloth and warm water
(max. 40°C) with a slightly alkaline detergent (max. pH 10) without alcohol, ammonia
or chlorine. Cleaning with a damp sponge or cloth may render the surface slightly
shinier and we therefore recommend cleaning the whole surface evenly for best
results.

AFTERCARE
The tiles can be treated with Rockfon finishing paint, PVA water-based special paint
with safety code 00-1, applied in the correct amount with an airless spray
with good capacity. The surface of the tiles must be clean and dry and the existing
paint surface must be firmly adhered to the tile prior to refinishing.
Heavily discoloured tiles should be replaced.
The painting of acoustic tiles reduces the sound absorption by approximately 10%.

LIGHT REFLECTION
White, 86% diffuse light reflection in accordance with ISO 7724-2.

HYGIENE
Stone wool has no nutritional value and therefore it provides no sustenance to harmful

CLEANING
The surface can be vacuum cleaned with a soft brush attachment.

The surface can also be cleaned once a week using a sponge or cloth and warm water
(max. 40°C) with a slightly alkaline detergent (max. pH 10) without alcohol, ammonia
or chlorine. Cleaning with a damp sponge or cloth may render the surface slightly
shinier and we therefore recommend cleaning the whole surface evenly for best
results.

AFTERCARE
The tiles can be treated with Rockfon finishing paint, PVA water-based special paint
with safety code 00-1, applied in the correct amount with an airless spray with good
capacity. The surface of the tiles must be clean and dry and the existing paint surface
must be firmly adhered to the tile prior to refinishing.
Heavily discoloured tiles should be replaced. The painting of acoustic tiles reduces the
sound absorption by approximately 10%.

FIRE PERFORMANCE
General: Rockfon ceiling tiles have a core of stone wool. Stone wool is non-
combustible with a melting point of more than 1000°C.

Reaction to fire: Class A1 In accordance with EN 13501-1.

Fire protection: The fire resistant properties of stone wool ensure Rockfon ceiling
tiles provide fire protection in construction. The fire protection properties of Rockfon
ceilings have been tested and classified in accordance with European norm EN 13501-2
and/or national norms depending on requirements in national building codes.

HUMIDITY RESISTANCE AND DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

(FLEXURAL TENSILE STRENGTH)
Rockfon ceiling tiles are dimensionally stable even at humidity levels of up to 100% RH
and can be installed at all temperatures ranging from 0ºC to 40°C.

No acclimatisation is necessary.

MediCare is predominantly classified as Class 1/C/0N in accordance with EN 13964.

However, certain module sizes (width above 700mm) are Class 2/C/0N.

LIGHT REFLECTION
White, 86% diffuse light reflection in accordance with ISO 7724-2.

HYGIENE
Stone wool has no nutritional value and therefore it provides no sustenance to harmful
micro-organisms.

In general Rockfon products have been tested for resistance to micro-organisms. They
were inoculated with food bouillon containing pathogenic germs and fungi, and the
antibacterial effect was monitored. The tests confirmed that Rockfon products do not
support the microbiological growth of the following bacteria and fungi:

- Staphylococcus aureus
- Escherichia coli
- Pseydomouas aeruginosa
- Candida albicans
- Aspergillus fumigatus

CLEAN ROOM CLASSIFICATION

MediCare is classified as Class 5 in accordance with ISO 14644-1.

CLEANING
The surface can be vacuum cleaned with a soft brush attachment.

The surface can also be cleaned once a week using a sponge or cloth and warm water
(max. 40°C) with a slightly alkaline detergent (max. pH 10) without alcohol, ammonia
or chlorine.
Cleaning with a damp sponge or cloth may render the surface slightly shinier and we
therefore recommend cleaning the whole surface evenly for best results.

The surface can be foam cleaned once a week. Spray foam onto the surface at low
pressure. Let it work for 5 minutes and then sluice or wipe clean. Soap solutions should
be 1:100.

The surface can be high pressure cleaned once a week. Max pressure should be 65 bar
at 1 metre distance, and water should be spread at a 30º angle. Soap solutions should
be 1:100. Where high pressure cleaning is required the tiles can be clipped and sealed
into the grid with a silicone sealant containing fungicide.

AFTERCARE
The tiles can be treated with Rockfon finishing paint, PVA water-based special paint
with safety code 00-1, applied in the correct amount with an airless spray with good
capacity. The surface of the tiles must be clean and dry and the existing paint surface
must be firmly adhered to the tile prior to refinishing.
Heavily discoloured tiles should be replaced.
The painting of acoustic tiles reduces the sound absorption by approximately 10%.

ENVIRONMENT
A representative selection of Rockfon products have been awarded the
Danish Indoor Climate Label and the Finnish Indoor Climate Label (M1).

148 The benefits of installing Rockfon
THE BENEFITS OF LIGHT WEIGHT
Back injuries are the single biggest cause
of absenteeism from the workplace, often
caused by manual handling activities, e.g.
the lifting and carrying of loads. As such,
Rockfon’s lightweight products not only
contribute to a better workplace, but are
also an economical factor for contractors.
The light weight is also helpful for
installation on high floors where lifts or
cranes are used.
For a 300m2 project, the Rockfon ceiling
tiles will weigh approximately 580Kg.
This is 50% lower than the equivalent wet
felted mineral fibre products and 75%
lower than gypsum based products.
THE BENEFITS OF EASY CUTTING
The lower density of Rockfon tiles not only
reduces the weight and increases sound
absorption, it also enables installers to cut
the tiles with only 1 stroke.
No machinery is necessary. Instead a normal
craft / carpet knife can be used. Cutting
Rockfon tiles does not generate dust and
thus can be done inside the building on the
installation site.
The fact that Rockfon tiles have a lower
density also reduces resistance to cutting.
This yields to more precision which in turn
makes the installation neater and generates
less waste.
THE BENEFITS OF FLEXIBILITY
One of the most important key performance
indicators for contractors is finishing the
project on time. Rockfon ceilings can
contribute to this goal as our ceilings can
be installed even when a building is not
hermetically closed or if the HVAC has yet
to be commissioned. This means that delays
from other tradesmen will not necessarily
hinder or delay the ceiling installation.
Even though we do not recommend the
storage of Rockfon ceilings outside, they
will perform significantly better than any
competitor’s ceiling tiles when stored
in varying humidity and environmental
conditions.

As a consequence of their light weight, Rockfon ceilings are less brittle and less
Rockfon is able to offer solutions that can friable than other technologies.
be installed faster and more economically.

• For standard A and E edges, Rockfon

products can be installed in System T24XL
that require 33% less hangers. This
means 33% less drilling in the soffit,
33% less top fixings, 33% less hangers
and 33% less main runners – all in all
enhanced flexibility and at least 20%
installation time saving – what will you
do with the time you save?

• For concealed edges, Rockfon provides

the System D-XL. This system negates the
need for complex and time consuming
primary and secondary grid components
reducing grid material costs and
installation time by 20%.

Rockfon ceilings are dimensionally designed

in such a way that uplifting of tiles has not
been an issue for the last 10 years.

PACKAGING
Our packaging concept aims to achieve
the optimum combination of product
protection using the minimum amount
of packaging material. The cartons are
delivered stacked on pallets for maximum
protection and fixed with stretch foil or
straps. Extra protection is often used on the
corners to avoid damage during handling
and transportation.

Rockfon products are packed with great

care and protected by high class packaging
materials. All packaging materials used
for Rockfon products can be recycled or
reused. The polyethylene in shrink wrap and
stretch foils are free of chlorine and sulphur
compounds.

TRANSPORTATION
During transportation, the products should
be stacked so that they stand firmly and
cannot be exposed to blows from other
cargo.

STORAGE
Rockfon products should be stored so that
they are not exposed to the weather. The
floor surface should be dry, smooth and
firm, and they should be placed so that they
are not exposed to blows, or any other
mechanical damage. Heavy or sharp objects
should not be placed on top of the packed
products.

HANDLING
Individual cartons should be handled with
care and should not be dropped. To open a
carton, the plastic foil should be cut without
damaging the tiles. The foil and remainder
of the carton should be removed. Using two
hands, lift the tiles vertically and install. The
use of clean white gloves is recommended
during tile handling and installation.
Individual tiles should be placed in an
upright position against a solid surface.

CUTTING
The cutting of Rockfon products at walls
and service penetrations can be easily
done using a sharp knife.To maintain
the appearance of a cut edge, visible
cut edges should be treated with the
appropriate Rockfon edge paint.
