Product catalog summary
Overview
Rockfon® System Eclipse Island™ is a frameless acoustic solution ideal for spaces unsuitable for traditional suspended ceilings. It enhances room acoustics and is available in various shapes and colors, offering flexibility in noise absorption for both new and existing buildings. The system is designed for quick and easy installation.
System Description
The system features a minimalistic painted A-edge with a smooth, deep matt, super white painted fleece that has anti-static properties. It can be suspended under existing structures or fixed directly to the soffit using specific accessories. Two suspension kit options are available: Classic and Design solutions, both utilizing Rockfon spiral anchors.

  • Dimensions: Various, with specific weights and suspension requirements.
  • Materials: Painted fleece with anti-static properties, aluminum profiles for stability.
Installation
Installation involves spiral anchors and suspension kits, suitable for installation below existing ceilings or directly to the soffit. Guidelines ensure even weight distribution and safety, with direct installation not recommended for islands larger than 1200 x 1200 mm.
Restrictions
The system is not suitable for swimming pools, outdoor environments, or areas with wind load and drafts. A minimum gap of 4 mm should be maintained between islands.
Performance and Load Bearing
The maximum load per spiral anchor is 5 kg. The system can integrate services like lighting, with guidelines for additional loads.
Accessories
Includes suspension kits, spiral anchors, and profiles for both suspended and direct fix systems. The Design solution offers a refined finish with cylindrical capping.
Recommendations
Ensure the supporting structure can bear at least 25 kg. Use two people for handling and installation to prevent damage and ensure safety. Follow good manual handling practices and installation advice for optimal results.
Specifications and Procedures
The document details specifications for integrating lighting fixtures with support arms using plywood or similar yokes supported on aluminum profiles. The yoke should be 700 mm long, with a minimum width of the light diameter plus 250 mm, and a minimum thickness of 6 mm. This solution is suitable for lights or services weighing up to 5 kg. It involves cutting a hole in the island to match the light's size and shape, ensuring alignment with the yoke or support arms.
Rockfon System Eclipse Island™ Cutouts
Guidelines are provided for cutouts in various shapes, with specific minimum distances from edges and maximum cutout dimensions. For instance, the Rockfon Eclipse Rectangle 1760 x 1160 mm requires a minimum distance of 352 mm from the long side and 290 mm from the short side, with a maximum cutout of 1056 x 580 mm. Lighting fixtures must be added independently and should not rely on Rockfon Eclipse for support.
Installation Recommendations
Installations should be symmetrical, and cutouts should not exceed the maximum allowable area. A knife or jigsaw is recommended for creating cutouts, with protective measures to prevent scratches and dust. Multiple smaller cutouts are permissible as long as they do not exceed the maximum area.
Tools and Resources
Rockfon provides specific tools available online, including a CAD Library and BIM portal for project design assistance. An edge repair filler is available for repairing accidental damage during installation, matching the factory-applied edge paint.
