New Rockfon® Sequence™ Linear Metal Beam Baffles are the first metal ceiling baffles with the potential to incorporate stone wool infill. This design solution redefines what’s possible for North American design professionals by delivering powerful acoustic benefits, stunning aesthetics, and flexible customization. Contractors will appreciate a streamlined installation process.
“Our goal is to help designers and contractors shift their perspective, push boundaries, and bring their visions to life,” explains Michael Thill, Rockfon Product Manager – Metal Ceilings. “Rockfon Sequence Beam Baffles can save contractors valuable time on-site while giving designers the freedom to create without limits.”
These metal baffles are the first in the market to come with the option of a stone wool infill. Stone wool is manufactured with primarily basalt rock, using a process similar to what occurs inside a volcano. Its properties make it inherently sound absorbent, moisture and fire resistant, and durable.
“Stone wool minimizes a building’s environmental footprint due to the inherent circularity of the material,” says Rachel Berkin, Rockfon’s Senior Sustainability Manager. “The versatility of metal and properties of stone wool deliver unmatched performance in building design.”
