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 & Benefits
Effective Noise Reduction
These timber acoustic fencing panels are designed to absorb and dampen unwanted noise, making them an ideal 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, made from vertical sawn boards and cover strips, while the other side features a protective membrane and rockwool, which acts as an absorbent material.
Flexible Installation Options
The acoustic fencing panels can be installed using either steel or timber posts, depending on your preference. Both options are available from First Fence. The steel post comes with wooden wedges for installation. Please note, this is a dig-in only format.
Ideal Applications
The EchoAbsorb Acoustic Fencing Kit provides a simple solution for:
- Local authorities dealing with traffic noise
- House builders mitigating noise from building projects
- Homeowners seeking peace and quiet
Tested & Certified Quality
All timber acoustic fencing within this range has undergone independent testing by Salford University, ensuring compliance with Highways England standards (BS EN 1793 Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices). It also meets BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2 requirements and aligns with Highways Sector Scheme 2C for the prefabrication of environmental barriers.
Durable and Sustainable Materials
Crafted from UC4 Tanalised, pressure-treated timber sourced from an FSC-certified supplier, the wood features a natural, soft pale green hue that blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Surface incision at the manufacturer’s site ensures optimal preservative protection, particularly for timber in ground contact.
Comprehensive Kit Contents
The loose kit includes everything needed to form one bay of 2.4m high x 2.4m wide timber acoustic fencing:
- EchoAbsorb Straight Boards
- Gravel Board
- Capping and Counter Rails
- Horizontal Rails
- Cover Strips
Long-Lasting and Low Maintenance
These timber acoustic barriers boast a manufacturer-offered 30-year desired service life and are designed to be maintenance-free with correct installation. They can be painted with a breathable stain or paint. Ensure that vegetation is cleared where fencing is to be installed, and avoid installation in areas prone to standing water.
Additional Benefits
Beyond noise management, these panels enhance aesthetics, increase privacy, and offer a more visually appealing alternative to industrial-style security fencing. Suitable for a variety of settings, including:
- Residential areas
- Educational institutions
- Transport corridors
- Commercial properties
- Industrial sites
