Absorptive Acoustic Fencing

Used for noise-sensitive environments requiring effective sound reduction, including Highways, Railways, Industrial Sites, and Residential areas. Its absorptive panels effectively reduce noise pollution while providing privacy and maintaining a visually appealing barrier.

Absorptive Acoustic Fencing

Absorptive Acoustic Fencing is a noise-reducing barrier designed to absorb sound waves, preventing them from reflecting back into the environment. Constructed using materials engineered to capture and dissipate sound energy, this fencing is ideal for reducing noise pollution in both residential and commercial areas. Absorptive acoustic fencing is commonly used around highways, industrial sites, construction zones, and residential developments near noisy infrastructure.

Absorptive Acoustic Fencing is an excellent investment for anyone looking to reduce noise pollution effectively. Its ability to absorb and dissipate sound makes it a top choice for noisy environments, and its durability ensures long-lasting performance. While the initial costs may be higher, the benefits of quieter, more comfortable spaces far outweigh the expense. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial applications, Absorptive Acoustic Fencing delivers reliable, eco-friendly noise control.

Technical Specifications

Here’s a breakdown of Absorptive Acoustic Fencing, including all essential details, specifications, and pros and cons.

Key Specifications of Absorptive Acoustic Fencing

  • Sound Reduction: Capable of reducing noise levels by up to 32 dB or more, depending on design and materials.
  • Construction Materials: Panels are typically made of timber, metal, or composite materials combined with sound-absorbing layers such as mineral wool or acoustic foam.
  • Height Options: Customisable from 2m, depending on the site and noise control requirements.
  • Durability: Weather-resistant coatings to ensure longevity in outdoor environments. Often treated with anti-rot and anti-corrosion finishes for timber and metal components.
  • Design Features: Non-reflective surfaces to ensure noise absorption rather than reflection. Airtight construction to prevent sound leakage through gaps.
  • Standards Compliance: Meets BS EN 1793 and BS EN 1794 standards for acoustic performance and structural durability.
  • Sustainability: Eco-friendly materials like sustainably sourced timber or recycled composites are often used.
  • Customisable Finishes: Available in natural wood stains, painted finishes, or colours to blend with the surroundings.
