From day one, I felt the openness and ambition that define Rockfon’s culture. Across departments—from engineering to product management, I’ve seen a shared drive to push boundaries and enhance performance, sustainability and design. We’re always striving to develop the next innovation that will redefine the ceiling market.
It has been an empowering experience to be a part of an organization that continuously invests in stone wool across product categories and global regions. As an acoustical ceiling substrate - stone wool truly is a “hero” material. Stone wool is inspired by nature, endlessly recyclable, low VOC and beneficial across performance, human health, and circularity. Rockfon's entire stone wool portfolio is built on sustainable principles – inspired by nature and endlessly recyclable. Our ceiling tiles are all manufactured with a stone wool substrate, achieving low VOC at all performance levels.
In October of 2024, Rockfon officially implemented ROCKWOOL Group’s global recycling program – Rockcycle. Stone wool is a material that can be endlessly recyclable, again and again, without loss of performance. Beyond recyclability– all of our tiles are designed for durability and longevity with 30-year warranties. Right now, we are looking to find projects to take-back and recycle, which can prove challenging with such long lifespans. If you know of any Rockfon material that is ready to be decommissioned – reach out to Rockcycle@Rockfon.com.
Since stone wool ceiling products are still relatively new in North America, I see education as a key part of my role. I have been working collaboratively with architects and designers to educate the industry both on the overall performance benefits and sustainability profile of stone wool ceiling tiles, as well as Rockfon’s own sustainability pursuits. As a part of ROCKWOOL Group, we actively pursue global initiatives like the UN SDGs and have set robust emission-reduction goals with the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). I have had the opportunity to present our newest CEU, Sustainable ceiling solutions: transforming spaces from above, to firms across North America.
One of the things I love most is the aesthetic consistency across our product line. No matter the tile, you get a smooth, high-end finish. This blend of performance, sustainability and design makes Rockfon ceiling tiles and panels the “easy button” for specifiers.
Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to attend regional sustainability events hosted by A+D firms as well as national conferences. Interacting with the market has enabled me to connect directly with both clients and team members across the country. These experiences helped me understand how sustainability is perceived in the commercial ceiling space and deepened my appreciation for Rockfon’s inclusive and forward-thinking environment.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue sharing the sustainable values and qualities of our company and the products we make. Our sustainability story is guided by our Natural Foundation – The Natural Power of Stone, Fostering Health Indoors, Protecting the Outdoors, and Enduring Circularity. I invite you to learn more about our sustainability journey.
At Rockfon, we create stone wool ceiling solutions that help support and protect both people and the planet.
