Excessive noise can disrupt communication and recreational activities, and in extreme cases, it can result in hearing loss or mental health problems. Timber construction and barriers outclass many other materials at absorbing and rebounding sound, making them essential for reducing noise in various settings. Timber acoustic fencing barriers not only reduce noise but also enhance outdoor aesthetics, offering a pleasant, cosy, and welcoming look.
First Fence is excited to introduce its latest product line: Timber Acoustic Fencing.
The 5.0m EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit from First Fence is available in loose form for easy on-site assembly. Alternatively, a pre-assembled version is also available.
Please be aware that this kit does not come with fixings; you will require 64mm stainless steel nails that are compatible with your nail gun and two M10 x 150mm coach screws per rail.
This product is manufactured from Sawn Spruce and may cause splinters.
These timber sound barriers deflect noise using surface profiles made of vertical sawn boards and cover strips. They are reinforced with horizontal timber rails to minimise gaps that could allow sound transmission.
The acoustic fencing panels offer installation flexibility, allowing for either wooden or steel posts depending on the site's specific requirements. Please select your preferred option and include it with your order.
Timber Acoustic Fencing Kits offer an easy solution for homeowners, house builders, and local authorities dealing with traffic noise issues. They are also ideal for busy areas or businesses where unwanted noise is a concern.
The acoustic fencing system has been independently tested by Salford University, meeting Highways England requirements (BS EN 1793 for Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices). It also complies with BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2 standards, aligning with Highways Sector Scheme 2C for the prefabrication of environmental barriers.
Made from Tanalised (UC4), pressure-treated timber sourced from an FSC-certified supplier, this wood features a natural pale green colour that integrates seamlessly with its environment. The timber is surface-incised at the manufacturer's site, a crucial step for ensuring optimal preservative protection for ground contact timber.
The loose kit contains Straight Boards, Timber Gravel Board, Capping Rail (50mm tapering to 38mm), Horizontal Rails and Cover Strips.
These panels can be painted with a breathable stain or paint. It is advised to remove any vegetation where the acoustic fencing will be installed and to avoid placing it in areas prone to water accumulation.
The timber acoustic barriers have a 30-year desired service life offered by the manufacturer and are designed to be maintenance-free, subject to correct installation. Check with a structural engineer for wind loading for your specific location.
These panels not only improve aesthetics but also effectively reduce excessive and unwanted noise in a variety of settings, including residential, educational, transportation, commercial, and industrial sectors. Besides managing noise, acoustic fence panels offer increased privacy and a more visually appealing alternative to industrial-style security fencing.
Our EchoReflect Panels are also available in a range of heights ranging from 1.8 to 5.0m.
First Fence also has a range called EchoGroove and EchoAbsorb, why not take a look today? Also available are a range of Sound Absorption Barriers and accessories.
