Sound reduction index Rw (C;Ctr) is measured in accordance with ISO 140-3.
Reaction to fire is classified in accordance with EN 13501-1.
The stone wool core of ROCKFON products is non-combustible with a melting point of more than 1000°C and provides fire protection. Some ROCKFON ceilings have been tested and classified in accordance with European norm EN 13501-2 and/or national norms.
ROCKFON ceiling tiles are dimensionally stable even at humidity levels of up to 100% relative humidity and can be installed at all temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C. They can be installed during the very early stage of the build (when windows are not fully sealed). Their lightweight yet stable non-hygroscopic character minimises the final weight of the fully-installed ceiling. ROCKFON ceiling tiles are predominantly classified as Class 1/C/0N in accordance with EN 13964. Certain module sizes (width above 700mm) are Class 2/C/0N.
