New Contourtm baffles from Rockfon® combine beautiful aesthetics and superior acoustic performance
- Inspiring, fresh new shapes and dimensions open creativity for architects and designers -
CHICAGO, June 3, 2024 /CNW/ - New Contour baffle products in Rockfon's portfolio of stone wool acoustic ceilings are widening design possibilities for North American architects, designers and acousticians. The varying shapes and dimensions add visual interest, depth, and dimension to ceilings while performing an important acoustic function.
The new product line features a wide array of benefits from the baffles' stone wool core, including high sound absorption, moisture and fire resistance, and durability?all of which contribute to enhanced indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The baffles also help architects, general contractors and owners achieve their building sustainability goals, reaching performance standards through low VOC emissions, high light reflectance and inherent acoustic targets.
"Design is always evolving; Rockfon is bringing new forms and shapes to the North American market with these Contour baffles that address the need for both fresh aesthetics as well as performance," says Nadia Tagashova, Senior Product Manager - Stone Wool Portfolio. "We invite architects and designers to experience creative freedom when using the new lineup, while feeling confident the finished spaces will also meet important goals for comfort, safety, durability and sustainability by selecting stone wool ceiling products."
She adds, "the beautiful sweeping, curves and straight, uniform lines of the Contour baffles combine to create limitless design possibilities. And from an acoustic perspective, they support occupant comfort by reducing reverberation and echo through their high sound absorption properties. It's the perfect addition to Rockfon's portfolio of stone wool tiles, panels and metal ceiling options to meet the enduring demand for even more selection in sustainable building materials."

- High acoustic absorption (up to 8.0 Sabins per baffle)
- Class A fire protection
