Rockfon partners with ArcelorMittal: A smarter material choice for a lower-impact build thanks to XCarb®

Improving acoustics for interior wellbeing

Founded in Denmark in 1962 as part of the ROCKWOOL Group, Rockfon is a leading provider of interior stone wool acoustic solutions and ceiling systems that support healthier indoor spaces across offices, schools, hospitals, restaurants, industrial facilities, and more. 

With 22 offices and 9 manufacturing facilities across the globe, the company serves customers across a wide range of sectors, helping them create environments where people can focus, collaborate, rest, and thrive.

Rockfon offers a range of acoustic solutions, including ceiling tiles, wall panels, floating ceiling panels, and seamless solutions. The range of solutions can be adapted and combined to ensure outstanding acoustics in hospitals, schools, offices, or leisure facilities.

The most common use of Rockfon products is in suspended ceilings, where acoustic tiles are placed into a suspended metal ceiling grid. Rockfon’s Chicago Metallic® suspended ceiling grids are fast to install and can be used to quickly and easily create beautiful, comfortable spaces that look good and perform well.

Sustainability and innovation at the heart of the company's growth

Product materials, circularity, and durability are all necessary considerations in designing the buildings of the future that Rockfon take to heart. The company believes long-lasting products that can be recycled indefinitely are key to sustainability in both new constructions and retrofit projects.

A smarter material choice for a lower-impact build thanks to XCarb®

Rockfon has partnered with ArcelorMittal to produce a low-carbon version of its leading T24 2890 grid for suspended ceilings

Using ArcelorMittal’s XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel, Rockfon has created a ceiling grid with over 50% less embodied carbon than the standard version, without compromising on performance. With all components made from lower-emissions steel, including the main runners, cross tees, and wall angles, the Chicago Metallic® T24 Click 2890 LowCarbon grid sets a new standard for the industry.


Architects and specifiers can now enjoy industry-leading load-bearing capacity and fire safety while significantly reducing the environmental impact of the ceiling. Through the partnership with ArcelorMittal, the grid also features an improved matt white painted surface, which means that the grid can be combined with Rockfon’s range of white tiles to create a seamless aesthetic

No compromise on quality. No change to the design process. Just a smarter material choice for a lower-impact build.
