Academic excellence prospers in inspiring environments
Download Acoustics in Education GuideHigh noise levels are notoriously detrimental to student and teacher well-being, health, and performance. Rockfon acoustic solutions absorb sounds to reduce reverberation, allowing for tranquil environments where teachers can comfortably instruct and students are more likely to focus.
Teachers are likely to resort to speech amplitude increases to ensure that their instructions are being transferred to all students. Such strenuous efforts, however, can threaten their vocal health. Effective classroom acoustics improve speech intelligibility and reduce the need for extreme voice intensities.
Classroom interior design – particularly the use of colour – can strongly influence student focus, mood, and learning. Available in a range of textures, shapes, and colours, Rockfon products combine customisable design with high performance for exceptional classroom acoustics.

Colour has long been proven to influence mood and focus. While some shades might stimulate wakefulness and focus, others might be more calming and soothing. Leveraging a strategic and evidence-based palette for the classroom at hand is key.
Learn moreAcoustic islands and baffles can be used where a traditional suspended ceiling cannot be installed or where frequent, unhindered access to services is required. Like acoustic ceiling tiles, they allow for high teacher intelligibility and optimal classroom acoustics.
Learn moreAccess to daylight contributes to wakefulness and concentration and has been even associated with improved academic performance. Acoustic solutions with high light reflection and diffusion help to maximise its exposure and benefits across classrooms.
Materials play a crucial role in limiting the spread of bacteria from student to student, so all product selection should be made strategically across classroom design.
Learn morePleasant exterior views, such as those of landscaped gardens, have been associated with student stress and fatigue recovery and, as such, can be especially strategic in classrooms.
Perforated ceiling panels absorb sound waves and prevent them from reverberating, allowing for high teacher intelligibility and optimal classroom acoustics.
Learn moreWood can make spaces feel more welcoming and inspiring because of its association to forest and parks. Besides its biophilic advantage, it can also inject warmth to the use of cool-toned materials such as concrete. Wooden flooring, however, often warrants the addition of sound absorption measures.
We provide customers with a complete acoustic ceiling system offering, combining sound absorbing ceiling tiles and wall panels with suspension grid systems and accessories.
