First Fence introduces the EchoGroove Reflective Acoustic Fencing system, a professionally engineered solution for noise reduction. The 4.0m×3.0m fencing kit functions as a robust sound barrier by reflecting noise. Its design relies on high mass, planed timber boards that interlock with a tongue and groove profile, forming a dense, solid screen that effectively blocks sound penetration. It combines aesthetic appeal with high performance for a wide variety of applications.
Superior Noise Reduction: Independently tested by the University of Salford, this system is proven to significantly reduce noise, creating a more tranquil outdoor environment.
Premium Construction: The "Groovy" profile consists of high-quality, horizontal tongue and groove boards that lock together tightly, ensuring maximum performance and a clean, contemporary finish.
Exceptional Durability: All timber components are pressure treated to provide a remarkable 30 year desired service life, ensuring a long-lasting and maintenance-free investment.
Sustainably Sourced: Manufactured in the UK using high-quality, responsibly sourced timber.
Enhanced Privacy & Security: At 4.0m, the solid construction provides excellent privacy and acts as a formidable physical boundary.
This is a reflective acoustic barrier, meaning it works by deflecting sound waves away from the protected area. The system has been rigorously tested and is certified to meet the following British and European standards:
BS EN 1793-2: Road traffic noise reducing devices - Intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation. This standard measures the fence's ability to block sound from passing through it. This system achieves a rating of Category B3, signifying a high level of performance for sound insulation.
BS EN 1794-1 & 1794-2: Non-acoustic performance. This confirms the barrier meets stringent requirements for mechanical strength, stability against wind loading, and general safety.
Highways Sector Scheme 2C: The system also complies with standards for the prefabrication of environmental barriers, making it suitable for use alongside public highways.
The versatile design and certified performance make this acoustic fencing kit the perfect solution for:
Residential Properties: Reduce noise from busy roads, railways, or noisy neighbours to create a peaceful garden sanctuary.
Commercial & Industrial Sites: Mitigate noise from machinery, loading bays, and industrial activity.
Schools & Hospitals: Create quieter, safer, and more private outdoor spaces for students and patients.
Transport & Infrastructure: An approved solution for reducing traffic noise along motorways and railway lines.
This 4.0m x 3.0m kit provides all the necessary components for one complete bay, allowing you to build a continuous, high-performance acoustic barrier tailored to your project's needs.
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.
