2.0m High AcoustiGuard® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 Acoustic Fencing Kit
The 2.0m High AcoustiGuard® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 Acoustic Fencing Kit is a formidable dual-function barrier system, engineered to deliver certified security alongside superior noise reduction. Standing at a height of 2.0 metres, this fencing solution is perfectly suited for applications requiring enhanced privacy and protection, such as securing data centres, utilities, transport infrastructure, and commercial properties adjacent to residential areas. It masterfully combines the proven intrusion resistance of the SR1 (A1) rating with the high-performance sound insulation required to create quieter, safer environments. Every component in this comprehensive kit is manufactured from premium materials, from the UC4 pressure-treated timber to the galvanised steel posts, guaranteeing exceptional durability and a long operational lifespan. To facilitate a more efficient installation process, each panel is delivered fully assembled and prepared for lifting into position.
Understanding LPS 1175 SR1 (A1)
Selecting a perimeter security system with independent certification is the most reliable way to guarantee its performance. The AcoustiGuard® fencing system is rigorously tested and certified to LPS 1175 SR1 (A1) by the prestigious Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), a globally recognised authority in security testing. LPS 1175 is the industry's leading standard for evaluating the resistance of physical security products against forced entry. The SR1 (A1) rating confirms that this fencing system can successfully repel a sustained, 60-second attack from an intruder equipped with small, concealable hand tools like screwdrivers, knives, and pliers, which are commonly used in opportunistic criminal activity. The test methodology is designed to replicate a realistic forced entry attempt. By achieving this certification, the AcoustiGuard® fence demonstrates its ability to act as a robust first line of defence, delaying intruders and providing a critical window for security teams or police to intervene. A key element of its strength is the 358 mesh security panel integrated within the timber structure, which is exceptionally difficult to penetrate. This certified security provides confidence and assurance that your assets and premises are protected by a proven, reliable barrier.
Understanding BS EN 1793 and BS EN 1794 Compliance
In addition to its security prowess, the AcoustiGuard® system is a highly effective acoustic barrier, fully tested and compliant with key European standards for noise reduction and structural integrity. Its design and materials adhere to the specification for Highways Works Clause 2504 and Sector Scheme 4 for timber treatment, making it an approved solution for major public and private infrastructure projects. The system is tested and complies to BS EN 1793 Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices, BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2. This is crucial for verifying the noise-control capabilities of a barrier, assessing both sound insulation and sound absorption. The fence's exceptional performance is due to its high-mass construction, with an average panel density of 71kg/m² (excluding posts). The sophisticated multi-layer panel design, comprising dense timber boards, a core of high-performance EchoAbsorb insulation, and the internal security mesh, effectively mitigates noise transmission. The standards also ensure the barrier is structurally sound, safe, and built to last, evaluating its ability to withstand design wind loads and impacts from debris. The system's strength is anchored by its substantial steel posts, which are securely concreted into the ground. This thorough standards compliance validates the AcoustiGuard® system as a premier, long-term solution for both security and acoustic management.
Features and Benefits
The 2.0m AcoustiGuard® SR1 fencing kit is engineered with a host of features that ensure top-tier performance and longevity.
Integrated Security and Acoustic Solution: This system provides two certified solutions in one product: LPCB-rated SR1 (A1) security and BS EN 1793-compliant noise mitigation. This dual functionality offers excellent value and simplifies perimeter design.
Superior Material Quality: All timber is Class UC4 Tanalised, pressure-treated to meet BS 8417 standards for use in permanent contact with the ground. This treatment provides maximum defence against fungal decay and insect attack. The steel components are meticulously protected against rust through galvanisation to ISO 1461 or zinc plating to ISO 4042/ISO 2081.
Advanced Multi-Layer Panel Design: The 2.42m wide panels feature a sophisticated construction for optimal performance. This includes robust 150x22mm EchoAbsorb Straight Boards, a central core of 475x75mm EchoAbsorb Insulation shielded by a nylon water-resistant sheet, and a fully integrated 358 security mesh panel. The panel is topped with a 125x38mm Capping Rail and sits above a 150x75mm Gravel Board, maintaining a 100mm protective gap from the ground.
Heavy-Duty Framework: For the 2.0m height, the system is specified with powerful 127 x 76mm steel RSJ posts, supplied at a 3000mm length. These posts are designed to be installed using a "Dig In" method into a minimum C20/25 concrete foundation with a dig-in depth of 1000mm for maximum rigidity.
Engineered for High Performance: This kit has a total weight of 204.15 kg, and its panel density of 71kg/m² is key to its excellent noise-blocking capabilities. The acoustic panels are securely fastened to the posts using flange hex head wood screws, preventing any panel lifting.
Flexible Installation: The system is engineered for simple creation of continuous fence lines and can easily accommodate corners. To maintain SR1 compliance, corner posts must be installed adjacent to each other as per the detailed drawings.
Compatible Gates: We supply matching 2.0m High AcoustiGuard® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 Acoustic Gates, ensuring a fully integrated and reliable perimeter solution.
