Available Surfaces
Tonasorb™ Surface Finish on Sonofonic Panels
Sonofonic Ceiling Panels are coated with Tonasorb™ — a strong, sound-friendly finish that protects the surface while letting sound waves pass through to the acoustic core. This ensures the panels perform well without compromising their appearance.
Tonasorb™ comes in three textured options: 700 Microporous, 600 Embossed, and S101 Textile. Each finish adds a unique look while helping to reduce echo and reverberation.
The coating is easy to clean, resists impact, and reflects light well — helping to keep spaces bright. It’s applied to the face and edges of each panel, with the back sealed in a protective glass fibre scrim for added durability.
