Excellence in design is achieved through the balance of aesthetics and functionality and the Potter Interior Systems range of perforated plasterboard allows designers to create beautiful ceilings and walls that achieve high levels of acoustic performance.

Manufactured by worldwide plasterboard specialist, Saint-Gobain, the Rigitone range features five contemporary design options with Rigitone Matrix 15mm Round the latest to join the range of perforated plasterboard.

Purpose built to deliver an aesthetic impact with its intricate edge-to-edge pattern, Rigitone Matrix 15mm features a continuous layout of 15mm round perforations at 30mm centres, providing a 19.6% open area, Class C sound absorption and NRC up to 0.90.

Its sophisticated look is universally appealing and highly functional for public areas in commercial buildings. Its acoustic control is achieved through a combination of perforated patterns and a highly effective fabric backing which also prevents dust from the ceiling entering the room while masking the ceiling framework.

Architects and specifiers are actively seeking solutions to reduce the levels of VOCs and other pollutants for projects where poor air quality can have a damaging effect.

With this in mind, Rigitone Plasterboard is manufactured with Activ'Air technology — a unique process that converts formaldehyde into non-harmful inert compounds that are locked in the board and can’t be released back into the air. This will have an enduring impact on air quality and improve the environment for people working within the space.

Rigitone is specially designed to be screw fixed to suspended ceilings and its unique installation method allows the product’s perforated pattern to continue uninterrupted where sheets meet, creating a continuous, seamless finish. Also available are seamless access panels, ensuring easy access to the ceiling cavity while maintaining the pattern continuity.
