Ceiling Systems for High Performing Schools
Good acoustics throughout a school can have a life-changing impact. Designing with the right ceiling makes a big difference of occupants of all ages.
A Solution for Every Challenge
Reducing Noise. Evidence suggests that decreased noise levels in schools can be associated with improvement in student achievement.1 Ceilings with superior sound absorption play a critical role in noise reduction.
Rockfon products feature Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ratings of .70 - 1.05, which are ideal noise reducing options for every school setting. The highter the NRC, the better acoustics in a space, which creates a more conducive learning environment.
Improving Speech Intelligibility. According to the Acoustical Society of America, U.S. classrooms typically have a speech intelligibility rating of about 75%. That means every fourth word is missed.
An investigation found that after treating a ceiling with sound absorbing materials - such as those in Rockfon tiles - students were able to hear teacher's speech more clearly.2
Allowing for More Complex Space. Schools are full of multifunctional spaces that require complex design solutions, including different acoustic approaches depending on the size or purpose of each space. With so many stone wool and metal options, Rockfon has both an acoustic solution for every space and that can add style and beauty.
