FAQs

In home environments, it is usually suitable to use sound absorbing tiles and wall panels for gluing directly to the ceiling or the wall instead of using suspended grid systems. The Parafon range includes Parafon Royal and Parafon Direct, which are glued with an 8 mm gap between the tiles and which we recommend for home environments.

Yes, you can glue Buller edge A directly to the substrate, but since the Buller products are relatively soft and of low-density, there is a great risk of damaging the surface when the panels are exposed to high pressure against when fixing. Therefore, this is not something we generally recommend. If you still want to glue Parafon Buller, be extra careful with the handling and follow the instructions on the glue packaging. The thicker / heavier boards that are glued, the larger amount of glue should be used. We recommend using edge-sealed Buller and leaving an 8 mm wide gap between the tiles for the best appearance, as the thickness of the boards is not exactly identical.

All Parafon products content are declared in ebvds and are assessed in "Byggvarubedömningen" for the Swedish market. In addition, EPDs (Environmental Product Declaration) with life cycle analysis have been executed and published in EPD Norway.

The Parafon products contain Parafon stonewool and are recyclable.

Parafon Step Direct is glued directly on to the foundation and can therefore be glued to the wall as well as to the ceiling. Step Direct is primarily intended as a ceiling and is not an impact resistant product for walls. Step Direct should therefore only be installed where there is no risk of being exposed to shocks, impacts, heavy soiling or other damage.

15 and 18 mm thick Parafon acoustic ceilings have sound absorption class A at 200 mm construction height. 40 mm or thicker tiles have class A even for direct mounting. All Parafon acoustic ceilings have test values for direct mounting up to 700 mm construction height. Absorption values of 200 mm construction height and in some cases direct assembly are declared with sound absorption curves and tables on each product page. For information on the absorption properties of specific products at other construction heights, please contact a representative of Parafon. You 'll find phone numbers to our product experts on our contact page.

Parafon acoustic ceilings have, with a few exceptions, the highest fire class, A1 and A2-s1, d0 according to EN ISO 13501-1. This means that they are non-combustible and do not contribute to flashover in case of a fire. The base material in all Parafon acoustic panels is non-combustible Parafon stonewool which has a melting temperature of around 1000˚C. This means that the panels do not melt but keep their shape well when heated in case of a fire.

Parafon products are intended for indoor use. We cannot guarantee the appearance of the products or any changes or defects that may occur when they are mounted outdoors. The stonewool as a material is moisture-resistant and durable, but surfaces of Parafon acoustic products are not intended to be exposed to weather, wind or any contaminations, but are tested, declared and CE-marked for indoor use.

Yes, we have a grid system from Armstrong Ceilings that has reinforced corrosion resistance - Prelude T24 CR.
