Rockfon® Island™ frameless, stone wool ceiling products expand designers’ creative options in achieving acoustic comfort for open plan offices, restaurants, waiting rooms, call centers and other spaces where sound can be overwhelming to occupants.

“Innovative and aesthetically pleasing, these frameless acoustic islands provide an alternative acoustic solution for rooms where suspended ceilings are not suitable. They can be used as part of a retrofit or to create a cloud-like design feature,” said Cory Nevins, ROCKFON’s director of marketing for North America.

Rockfon Island’s modular format is available in square or rectangular sizes, at either 3 feet 9-11/16 inches or 5 feet 9-5/16 inches in length. The frameless shape has a sharp, minimalistic edge and a subtle, elegant bevel. It features a smooth texture and white color to optimize light reflection (LR 0.86).

Rockfon Island, like all ROCKFON acoustic ceiling panels, consist of stone wool materials and inherently absorb acoustic waves from all angles due to its non-directional fiber. The stone wool also delivers a number of other notable performance benefits including fire protection, and water and humidity resistance.

Contributing to building’s environmental goals, Rockfon Island products contain up to 39 percent recycled content. ROCKFON’s extensive portfolio of stone wool acoustic ceiling solutions has earned UL® Environment’s GREENGUARD Gold Certification for low-emitting products. These environmental attributes are recognized by such programs as the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Rating System and the Collaborative for High Performance Schools’ Criteria (CHPS).

As with all of ROCKFON’s stone wool ceiling panels, these panels also are 50 to 75 percent lighter than other ceiling panels for easier installation. Providing low maintenance and long-term durability, ROCKFON products supplied in North America are supported with a 10-year product warranty.

ROCKFON’s product portfolio in North America includes an extensive range of solutions from suspended and concealed ceilings to islands and baffles. To learn more about Rockfon Island or other ROCKFON products, please visit www.rockfon.com, email [email protected] or call 800-323-7164.
