Reflective Acoustic Fencing

Used for large-scale noise control where durability and performance are essential, including Motorways, Railways, Industrial Sites, Commercial Developments, and Residential Areas. Its reflective panels deflect sound effectively while providing a strong, low-maintenance, and visually appealing perimeter solution.

Reflective Acoustic Fencing

Reflective Acoustic Fencing is a noise control barrier designed to reflect sound waves away from a source area, reducing noise pollution on the quieter side of the fence. Unlike absorptive acoustic barriers that absorb sound, reflective fencing bounces noise back toward the source or deflects it upward, creating a quieter environment for residential, commercial, or public spaces. This type of fencing is commonly used along highways, railways, industrial facilities, and urban developments to comply with noise reduction standards.

Reflective Acoustic Fencing offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for managing noise pollution. Its durable and low-maintenance design makes it an excellent choice for long-term applications in transportation, industrial, and residential settings. However, careful planning is required to ensure reflected sound does not negatively impact other areas. For projects requiring straightforward noise control with aesthetic versatility, Reflective Acoustic Fencing is a top choice.

Technical Specifications

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

Key Specifications of Reflective Acoustic Fencing

  • Noise Reflection: Reflects sound waves back to the source or redirects them upward, reducing perceived noise on the opposite side.
  • Materials: Typically made from solid, dense materials such as concrete, steel, aluminium, or composite panels. May include timber elements for aesthetic purposes.
  • Height Options: Available in heights ranging from 2m to 6m or more to achieve optimal sound redirection.
  • Panel Thickness: Varies from 50mm to 150mm, depending on the required level of sound insulation.
  • Weather Resistance: Designed with UV-resistant coatings, anti-corrosion treatments, or water-repellent finishes for durability in outdoor conditions.
  • Aesthetic Options: Panels can be customised with colours, finishes, and textures to blend with surrounding environments or meet architectural preferences.
  • Standards Compliance: Meets BS EN 1793 standards for sound reflection and BS EN 1794 for structural durability and safety.
  • Longevity: Reflective acoustic fencing can last 20–30 years with minimal maintenance, depending on materials.

Pros and Cons of Reflective Acoustic Fencing Sizes and Options

Pros

  1. Effective Noise Control: Reduces noise levels on the protected side of the fence by reflecting sound away.
  2. Durability: Constructed from hard-wearing materials like concrete or metal, ensuring long-term performance in challenging environments.
  3. Aesthetic Versatility: Can be designed to complement architectural styles or blend seamlessly into natural surroundings.
  4. Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep due to weather-resistant materials and finishes.
  5. Cost-Effective: Often more affordable than absorptive acoustic fencing for similar levels of noise reduction.
  6. Wide Applications: Suitable for highways, railways, residential areas, industrial sites, and public spaces.
  7. Compliance with Regulations: Designed to meet or exceed local and international noise control standards.

Cons

  1. Limited Noise Absorption: Reflects sound rather than absorbing it, which may lead to increased noise in other areas.
  2. Potential for Noise Reflection Issues: Noise could be reflected toward unintended areas, requiring careful site assessment and placement.
  3. Heavier Construction: Made from dense materials, which can make installation more complex and costly.
  4. Design Restrictions: May require larger spaces for effective installation due to its height and reflective nature.
  5. Environmental Concerns: Dense materials like concrete or steel may have a higher carbon footprint compared to eco-friendly alternatives.

Q. What is Reflective Acoustic Fencing used for?

It is used in areas requiring effective noise control, such as:
• Highways and motorways.
• Railways and train stations.
• Industrial zones.
• Residential developments near noisy infrastructure.
• Public spaces like parks and schools.

Q. How does Reflective Acoustic Fencing work?

Reflective fencing bounces sound waves back toward the source or redirects them upward, reducing noise levels on the quieter side.

Q. Is Reflective Acoustic Fencing customisable?

Yes, it can be tailored in terms of height, finish, colour, and material to suit site-specific requirements and aesthetics.

Q. How long does Reflective Acoustic Fencing last?

With proper materials and maintenance, it can last 20–30 years, depending on environmental factors.

Q. Is Reflective Acoustic Fencing eco-friendly?

While it can be made from sustainable materials, the dense and heavy construction of reflective fencing often has a higher environmental impact.
