Introducing New Rockfon® Sequence™ Linear Metal Ceiling Beam Baffles

August 12, 2025

Rockfon® Sequence™ reframes the design experience in commercial spaces. Effortless installation, limitless design freedom and added performance with stone wool infill unite.

New Rockfon® Sequence™ Linear Metal Beam Baffles are the first metal ceiling baffles with the potential to incorporate stone wool infill. This design solution redefines what’s possible for North American design professionals by delivering powerful acoustic benefits, stunning aesthetics, and flexible customization. Contractors will appreciate a streamlined installation process.

“Our goal is to help designers and contractors shift their perspective, push boundaries, and bring their visions to life,” explains Michael Thill, Rockfon Product Manager - Metal Ceilings, “Rockfon Sequence Beam Baffles can help save contractors valuable time on-site while giving designers the freedom to create without limits.”

These metal baffles are the first in the market to come with the option of a stone wool infill. Stone wool is manufactured with primarily basalt rock, using a process similar to what occurs inside a volcano. Its properties make it inherently sound absorbent, moisture and fire resistant, and durable.

“Stone wool minimizes a building’s environmental footprint due to the inherent circularity of the material,” says Rachel Berkin, Rockfon’s Senior Sustainability Manager. “The versatility of metal and properties of stone wool deliver unmatched performance in building design.”

Key product features and benefits include:

  • Design flexibility
    • A mix of heights, lengths, and widths creates a variety of dimensions and cavity space available for acoustic infiltration
    • 15/16” swivel clip will allow for unique layouts, such as radial and diagonal
  • Aesthetics and color availability
    • Ability to seamlessly match baffle and carrier
    • Color customization with project samples to match designs
