The Ruukki Sono wall element is stated to feature an optimised perforation pattern and a core made of high-quality mineral wool, which together mitigate background noise, echoes, and reverberation.
The product boasts fire safety features, including an absorption class A rating, airborne sound insulation, and fire resistance.
Suitable for both new constructions and renovations, the Ruukki Sono element can be installed horizontally or vertically. It is designed to be compatible with standard Ruukki sandwich panels, owing to an identical joint design.
The standard width of 1,200mm allows for division into two 600mm modules, making it an ideal solution for sound-absorbing partition walls, states Ruukki Construction.

Ruukki Building Envelopes Finland business director Jani Backlund said: “Acoustics are a key part of the user experience in buildings. With Ruukki Sono, our customers can design quieter, more focused spaces – cost-efficiently and without compromising on fire safety.”
Manufactured sustainably at the Ruukki plant in Alajärvi, Finland, the product will be available in the Finnish market from June 2025.
The company plans to expand the launch to other Nordic and Baltic countries subsequently.
Ruukki Building Envelopes Finland portfolio manager Esa Lehtimäki said: “The new acoustic partition wall element – combining performance, design and safety – is a great example of how we turn customer needs and sustainability targets into smart building solutions.”
