First Fence is delighted to introduce its latest product line - Timber Acoustic Fencing. This range features three styles: EchoGroove, EchoReflect, and EchoAbsorb, all crafted to address and mitigate excess and undesirable noise.
Unwanted noise, often termed sound intrusion, has the potential to disrupt communication, leisure activities, and in severe cases, can lead to hearing impairment or mental health issues. Wooden structures and barriers demonstrate significant efficacy in both absorbing and reflecting sound, thereby playing a crucial role in reducing noise levels across a wide range of applications.
The EchoAbsorb Absorbent Acoustic Fencing Kit, measuring 2.4 metres, is available in either loose kit form for convenient on-site assembly or as pre-assembled panels. These kits are highly favoured for acoustic fencing screening and are appropriate for a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, industrial, schools, and healthcare facilities.
Features and Benefits
These timber acoustic fencing panels function by absorbing and dampening unwanted noise, making them an optimal solution for containing sound within a designated area. With a dual-panel design, they effectively absorb and muffle excess noise. One side of the panel is sound-reflective, comprising vertical sawn boards and cover strips, while the other side features a protective membrane and rockwool that acts as an absorbent material.
The acoustic fencing panels can be installed using either a steel or timber post depending on your preference. Both are available from First Fence. The Steel Post comes with wooden wedges for installation. Please note, this is a dig in only format.
The EchoAbsorb Acoustic Fencing Kit offers a simple solution for local authorities dealing with traffic noise, house builders who need to mitigate noise from building projects and homeowners who just want some peace and quiet.
All timber acoustic fencing within this range has undergone independent testing conducted by Salford University, ensuring compliance with the standards established by Highways England (BS EN 1793 Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices). Furthermore, it adheres to BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2, aligning with Highways Sector Scheme 2C for the prefabrication of environmental barriers.
Crafted from UC4 Tanalised, pressure-treated timber sourced from an FSC-certified supplier, this wood features a natural, soft pale green hue that seamlessly blends with its surroundings. The timber undergoes surface incision at the manufacturer's site, a critical step to ensure optimal preservative protection, especially for timber in ground contact.
The loose kit contains EchoAbsorb Straight Boards, Gravel Board, Capping and Counter Rails, Horizontal Rails and Cover Strips and will form one bay of 2.4m high x 2.4m wide timber acoustic fencing.
The timber acoustic barriers boast a manufacturer-offered 30-year desired service life and are designed to be maintenance-free with correct installation. These panels can be painted with a breathable stain or paint. It is recommended that any vegetation is cut down where the acoustic fencing is to be installed and do not install where they may sit in water.
The timber acoustic barriers have a 30 years desired service life offered by the manufacturer and are designed to be maintenance free, subject to correct installation. Check with a structural engineer for wind loading for your specific location.
These panels not only enhance aesthetics but also provide an effective solution for addressing excessive and unwanted noise in various applications, including residential, education, transport, commercial, and industrial sectors. In addition to noise management, acoustic fence panels offer increased privacy and a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to industrial-styled security fencing.
Our EchoAbsorb Panels are also available in 1.8m high and 2.0m high.
