Rockfon dB Tiles: The Smart Way to Control Noise and Improve Your Space

September 1, 2025

Noise is one of the biggest hidden productivity killers in offices, classrooms, and healthcare environments. If your workplace feels distracting, stressful, or just too loud, the solution might literally be above your head.

That’s where Rockfon dB tiles come in. They’re specially engineered acoustic ceiling tiles designed to absorb sound within a room and stop it travelling between rooms. The result? A quieter, more private, and more comfortable space.

What Does “dB” Mean in dB Tiles?

The “dB” in dB tiles stands for decibel, which is the unit used to measure sound levels. A higher dB reduction rating means better sound insulation.

For example:

  • A 10 dB reduction makes noise sound about half as loud.
  • A 20–25 dB reduction cuts sound to just a quarter of its original level.
  • With Rockfon dB tiles, you can achieve up to 46 dB room-to-room insulation, depending on the model.

This is why dB tiles are different from standard ceiling tiles. Rockfon ceiling tiles are designed to absorb noise inside a room and offer a level of dB performance. However, the specific Rockfon dB range maximises dB performance whilst still providing a high level of acoustic absorption.

Why Choose Rockfon dB Tiles?

“When we designed our Rockfon dB tiles, the goal was simple: create ceiling solutions that don’t just look good, but actively improve the way people work, learn, and recover. Noise is one of the biggest challenges in modern buildings, and our dB range tackles it head-on by combining class-leading sound absorption with outstanding room-to-room insulation. It’s about giving architects and facility managers confidence that their spaces will be quieter, brighter, and healthier—for decades to come.”

How dB Tiles Differ from Other Ceiling Tiles

What sets dB tiles apart is their ability to deliver both high sound absorption and exceptional room-to-room insulation. Thanks to a stone wool core combined with a unique acoustic membrane, they provide certified performance levels that make them ideal for areas where noise levels are especially challenging or where privacy is essential.

In short: standard ceiling tiles are perfect for everyday acoustic needs, while dB tiles are the go-to solution when you need maximum noise control in demanding environments.

Where to Use Rockfon dB Tiles

Rockfon dB tiles are perfect for any building where noise control is critical:

  • Open-plan offices – improve focus, reduce distractions.
  • Schools & universities – clearer communication, calmer classrooms and spaces where learning takes place.
  • Hotels & hospitality – private rooms and better guest experiences.
  • Meeting rooms – confidentiality without sound leakage.
