A comfortable wait that feels shorter
Download Healthcare Acoustics GuideAdjacent conversations, constant foot traffic, and loud mobile phone use can make high noise levels inevitable in waiting rooms, which can be bothersome and distressing for visitors. Rockfon acoustic solutions absorb sounds to reduce reverberation, fostering a more tranquil environment.
Waiting areas accommodate large volumes of patients and caretakers each day. All materials used should uphold strict hygiene standards to minimise the spread of disease. Rockfon acoustic solutions are made from stone wool, a material that does not provide sustenance to micro-organisms.
Instead of daunting white walls, environmental stimuli such as nature-inspired visual imagery or soft colours can assist in alleviating patient anxiety. Available in a range of colours, textures, and shapes, Rockfon products combine customisable design with high acoustic performance.
