New Rigitone® Design range for acoustic and aesthetic ceilings in ERP

Create pleasant spaces in offices, open-spaces, hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, airports, stations, shopping centers, etc., and personalize the reception halls of these ERPs, are key issues for both architects and project owners in order to accommodate occupants in optimal conditions.

Making comfort its first promise, PLACO® unveils its new range of RIGITONE® DESIGN acoustic islands, designed for acoustic and aesthetic ceilings.

Creative freedom, design, ease and speed of implementation characterize them. Like clouds floating above spaces, RIGITONE® DESIGN products play with stylistic effects with their concave or convex shapes, an adjustable suspension height of up to 2 m and square or random perforated patterns.

A source of comfort, RIGITONE® plasterboard-based islands incorporate ACTIV'AIR® technology, which eliminates up to 80% of the formaldehyde present in indoor air. They thus offer a healthy and warm atmosphere, and optimize the intelligibility of the exchanges. The other feat in terms of comfort lies in their kit design which allows quick installation!

Responsible manufacturing made in Savoie

The RIGITONE® DESIGN range is manufactured in the PLACO® factory located in the heart of Savoie, in Chambéry. An economic and ecological bias dear to the brand, at a time when the relocation of productions is at the heart of debates in France and around the world. The system is assembled and packaged in a kit by ESAT SATREC in La Ravoire (Establishment and Service for Work Assistance). This approach promotes the reintegration and professional inclusion of people with disabilities.

Islands all in lightness

Creative inspiration is one of the pillars of RIGITONE® DESIGN. Airy and elegant, the plasterboards (L. 1980 mm x W. 1000 mm) undulate in all lightness and reveal a harmonious, soft and refined atmosphere.

Creation of mixed, wave or scattered designs, wide choice of decorative patterns for a refined style (8-18 round perforated - 8 mm in diameter and 18 mm center distance - or 8-15-20 Super with random round perforations)… , the system adapts to new or existing atmospheres, and allows to shape singular spaces, imbued with modernity and elegance. Like a sculpture, the ceiling with its concave and convex shapes offers great design flexibility.

One system, one kit, one easy installation

The ease of installation of RIGITONE® DESIGN is reflected in its kit design which consists of:

1 RIGITONE® Activ'Air® 8/18 or 8-15-20 Super plasterboard,
1 ISOVER CLEANTEC® glass wool panel,
6 spacers F 530,
2 curved profiles F 530 (bending radius of 2 870 mm),
16 DF STIL® F 530 riders,
1 suspension kit of 4 cables of 2 m with accessories,
installation accessories.

All of this is accompanied by a richly illustrated “Implementation Guide”. Diagrams explain the installation steps, step by step. The kit being already pre-prepared, all you have to do is fix the curved profiles using the jumpers and hang the island by adjusting the height of the suspension cables. A real saving of time and comfort for the installers, and of practicality for the referencing in the trades!
