​​Developing Moody Spaces with Rockfon Color-all-in Charcoal​

January 11, 2024

​​Black ceilings are one of the most effective ways to inject moody elegance into a space. Depending on the desired design approach, they can offer classic flair or otherwise add drama.​

A black suspended ceiling at a restaurant

It's no surprise that the colour Charcoal, a rich black, is one of the most popular picks from the 35 exclusive colours available for Rockfon Color-all acoustic ceiling tiles. With 4 percent light reflection for the Charcoal option, the tile limits excess light reflection while maximising sound absorption – and the option to opt for a matching grid with a matte finish allows for continuity and a clean look. 

Explore spaces where suspended ceilings with Rockfon Color-all acoustic tiles in Charcoal set the scene for understated poise, whether at restaurants, offices, or other.
