Noise essentially encompasses unwanted sound that can disrupt, impede communication, impact leisure activities, and, in severe cases, lead to hearing issues or induce mental and physical symptoms. Timber construction and barriers effectively absorb and redirect sound waves, notably decreasing noise levels in various environments. These barriers seamlessly blend with a range of exterior designs, enhancing aesthetics with their attractive and inviting appearance.
The EchoGroove Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit, measuring 4.0m in height, operates by reflecting noise off its profile. Delivered in loose components, the kit can be conveniently assembled on-site. Its acoustic screen features a meticulously designed profile that, when correctly installed, eliminates gaps, effectively blocking sound transmission.
Please note that this kit does not include fixings; you will need 64mm stainless steel nails compatible with your nail gun.
This product is manufactured from Sawn Spruce and may cause splinters.
The Timber Acoustic Fencing Kits provide a simple solution for homeowners, property developers, and municipal authorities dealing with concerns about traffic noise. They are perfect for residents in busy areas or businesses looking to reduce unwanted noise disturbances.
The system underwent independent testing by Salford University to meet Highways England standards (BS EN 1793 Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices). It has been tested and meets the standards of BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2, and is also compliant with Highways Sector Scheme 2C for the prefabrication of environmental barriers.
Made from Tanalised (UC4) pressure-treated timber obtained from an FSC-certified supplier, this material exhibits a naturally pale green colour that harmonises effortlessly with its environment. The timber undergoes surface incising at the manufacturing site, a critical process that ensures the best possible preservation for timber used in ground contact applications.
Within the loose, kit form, you will get Tongue & Groove Acoustic Boards, Timber Gravel Board, Capping Rail, Counter Rail, Cover Strip, Centre Strip. We only recommend a steel post for this height of fence, and this is a dig-in only format.
Installation is relatively simple, once the posts are in place, fit the horizontal acoustic tongue and groove boards to the posts and build to the required height by interlocking them together. Post centres are 2.4m.
These panels can be painted with a breathable stain or paint. It is recommended that any vegetation be cut down where the acoustic fencing is to be installed. Do not install them where they may sit in water.
The manufacturer guarantees a desired service life of 30 years for the timber acoustic barriers, provided they are correctly installed and maintained. Consult a structural engineer to assess wind loading requirements specific to your location.
Our EchoGroove Panels are also available in heights ranging from 1.8 to 5.0m.
These panels not only enhance aesthetics but also offer the most effective solution for combating excessive and undesired noise across various applications, including residential, educational, transportation, commercial, and industrial settings. This acoustic fencing functions by forming a substantial barrier to disrupt and deflect unwanted sound, resulting in a significant reduction in noise levels and minimising prior disturbances. In addition to noise control, acoustic fence panels provide heightened privacy and a more visually appealing alternative to industrial-style security fencing.
First Fence also has a range called EchoReflect and EchoAbsorb, why not take a look today? Also available are a range of Sound Absorption Barriers and accessories.
