What Is
Rockfon Mono?
The current trend in architectural design favours the use of highly reflective, sturdy materials such as metal, glass, stone and concrete. These materials have poor or non-existent acoustic absorption, creating a real dilemma when combining design and acoustic comfort into new spaces.
Designers wishing to free themselves from the grid plan of existing solutions, such as modular ceilings or a perforated drywall/plasterboard finish, normally must choose between acoustics and aesthetics.
As the industry leader in acoustic plaster systems, we can help. Rockfon has revolutionised the interior world with its Mono Acoustic (formely Mono Acoustic TE) with elegant render, an innovative, seamless monolithic ceiling and wall lining which can also create curved feature ceilings using Rockfon Mono Acoustic Flecto panel and creates high acoustic absorption to address reverberation problems.
Rockfon Mono Acoustic Ceiling
The Rockfon Mono acoustic ceiling using the innovative Rockfon Mono Acoustic panel system with elegant render has been installed in many types of establishments, as you will see from our vast range and number of case studies within our portfolio of prestigious projects able to be viewed in locations including residential, leisure, retail education office as well as the high demanding environments of a swimming pool, which is possible with the Rockfon Mono product.
Mono Acoustic’s aesthetic quality matches its acoustic quality. Mono Acoustic provides high sound absorption, echo reduction, and a significant decrease in reverberation time, together with speech intelligibility enhancement. It has the highest performance of any seamless ceiling available today.
Mono Acoustic provides efficient acoustic improvement for both new build and traditional rooms, for small spaces or larger, more impressive areas. It improves acoustic performance and speech intelligibility in open-plan or private areas, complex spaces or areas where the original character must be respected and retained. To achieve optimum acoustic comfort, a mono Acoustic system can be installed as a complete continuous ceiling, ceiling islands, or even on walls.
Characteristics
The unique Mono Acoustic system is a highly acoustic monolithic ceiling and wall lining. This patented innovation is made of high-quality stone wool for optimum technical performance. The Mono Acoustic system comprises stone wool acoustic panels which a new system for 25mm has been brought in to sit along side the 40mm system which offers Class A absorption these that are covered with a white fleece on the visible side with Tapers to the edges and an anti-ageing high-performance membrane on the reverse.
The system enables two types of fixing methods for flexibility of installation, direct or suspended, and also includes 50mm wide tape to ensure strong and optimum joints between panels, as well as a filler and render. The Product can come in 33 colours from the standard Rockfon Wellbeing range or custom colours (white or colour matched on demand – RAL and NCS). In addition, inspection hatches are available in 600 x 600 and 400 x 400mm.
This innovative product has a very high light reflectance, which ensures the distribution of light within the area and reduces the requirement for artificial light.
As well as great acoustics, the Rockfon Mono Acoustic ceiling system also offers fire protection.
Visual Appearance
The whiteness (L value) of the product is tested in accordance with ISO 7724 and measured on a scale from 1 (black) to 100 (white). L value: 94.5.
Humidity Resitance and Dimensional Stability
Rockfon ceiling tiles are dimensionally stable even at humidity levels of up to 100% RH and can be installed at all temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C – no acclimatization is necessary.
Light Reflection and Diffusion
White, > 99% diffusion and 87% light reflection in accordance with DIN 5036-3.
Cleaning
The Mono Acoustic rendered surface is anti-static. The surface can be vacuum cleaned at low suction with a soft brush attachment. The surface should not be water cleaned or wiped with a wet cloth.
Sound Insulation
The sound reduction index of Mono Acoustic has been measured in accordance with ISO 140-3, a certified laboratory. Rw (C;Ctr) = 22 (-2;-3) dB.
Sound Absorption
Sound absorption has been measured in accordance with ISO 354. Sound absorption data and absorption class are calculated in accordance with ISO 11654. α : up to 1.00 (Class A).
Fire Performance
Rockfon ceiling tiles have a core of stone wool. Stone wool is non-combustible with a melting point of more than 1000°C. Reaction to fire: Class A2-s1,d0 in accordance with EN 13501-1. ROCKFON Mono Acoustic achieves up to 60 min. in accordance with European test standards and national approvals.
Environment
A representative selection of Rockfon products has been awarded the Indoor Climate Label and the Finnish Indoor Climate Label (M1). Mono Acoustic is recyclable.
Hygiene
Stone wool has no nutritional value and therefore it provides no sustenance to harmful micro-organisms.
Aftercare
Retouching and repairs can be made with an additional layer of Mono Acoustic render. Recommended coverage rate: 0.3 kg/m² (wet). This may slightly reduce sound absorption.
