5.0m EchoGroove Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit
In essence, noise refers to unwanted sounds that can disrupt communication, interfere with leisure activities, and, in severe cases, lead to hearing damage or cause mental and physical symptoms. Timber construction and barriers effectively absorb and deflect sound waves, substantially lowering noise levels in various settings. These barriers blend effortlessly with different exterior designs, enhancing aesthetics with their attractive and inviting appearance.
The EchoGroove Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit, standing at a height of 5.0m, is the tallest available in this range and functions by reflecting noise away using its profile. Delivered in separate components, the kit allows for easy assembly on-site. Its acoustic screen boasts a carefully crafted profile that, when installed accurately, removes any gaps, efficiently preventing sound from passing through.
Please note that this kit does not include any fixings; you will need 64mm stainless steel nails compatible with your nail gun.
Features and Benefits
The Timber Acoustic Fencing Kits offer a straightforward solution for homeowners, property developers, and local governments addressing concerns about the effects of traffic noise. They are perfect for residents living in busy areas or businesses aiming to reduce disturbances caused by unwanted noise.
The system underwent independent testing by Salford University to meet the standards set by Highways England (BS EN 1793 for Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices). It adheres to the requirements of BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2, and is also compliant with Highways Sector Scheme 2C for prefabricating environmental barriers.
Made from Tanalised (UC4) pressure-treated timber obtained from an FSC-certified supplier, this material boasts a naturally pale green hue that harmonises effortlessly with its environment. The timber undergoes surface incision at the manufacturing site, a vital process to guarantee top-notch preservation for timber utilised in ground contact applications.

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 30-year service life for the timber acoustic barriers when properly installed and maintained. It's recommended to seek advice from a structural engineer to assess the wind loading requirements tailored to your area.
