Rockfon North America, part of ROCKWOOL Group, announced the launch of its Rockcycle take-back program. Customers now can fully support their building project sustainability goals by bringing their end-of-life stone wool acoustic ceiling tiles and panels to ROCKWOOL manufacturing facilities in Mississippi and West Virginia.
ROCKWOOL Frontrock stone wool insulation for EIFS offers high-performance building envelope design. Non-combustible and Class A fire-rated, Frontrock doesn’t trigger NFPA 285 when installed, per manufacturer instructions. Stone wool is dimensionally stable across changes in temperature and humidity and provides a dense, rigid surface with high impact resistance.
Rockfon presented an addition to its North American portfolio range: Rockfon Mono Acoustic ceiling systems. The stone wool, monolithic ceiling solutions create a smooth, seamless, uninterrupted surface with best-level sound absorption. For years, these products have inspired European architects, design professionals and their clients.
