Product Description
5.0m High x 3.0m Wide EchoAbsorb Absorbent Acoustic Fencing Kit
Please note that this kit does not include any fixings; you will need 64mm stainless steel nails compatible with your nail gun and two M10 x 150mm coach screws per rail.
Please be aware that we do not recommend bolting down your Acoustic Fencing. For the best results, we advise digging into your Acoustic Fencing to help ensure wind loading and site safety.
First Fence is excited to introduce our newest range of products.: Timber Acoustic Fencing. This innovative collection offers three distinct styles: EchoGroove, EchoReflect, and EchoAbsorb, each meticulously designed to efficiently address unwanted noise.
Increased noise levels, often referred to as sound intrusion, can disrupt communication and recreational activities and, in extreme cases, result in hearing loss or mental health concerns. Wooden barriers very efficiently absorb and reflect sound, lowering noise levels in various environments.
The EchoAbsorb Absorbent Acoustic Fencing Kit, available in a 5.0m x 3.0m size, can be purchased either as a loose kit for on-site assembly or as pre-assembled panels. These kits are preferred for their adaptability and applicability in residential, commercial, industrial, educational, and healthcare environments.
Features and Benefits
The EchoAbsorb Acoustic Fencing Kit is a dual-function environmental noise barrier designed to both absorb and reflect sound waves. The panels feature a two-part construction: one face is reflective, comprised of vertical sawn timber boards, while the reverse face is absorptive, containing a layer of high-density Rockwool behind a protective membrane.
This design is effective for reducing noise from sources such as road traffic, construction, and industrial activity. It is a suitable solution for applications in residential, commercial, and transport sectors where noise mitigation is required.
Key Specifications
Acoustic Performance: The system has been independently tested by Salford University. It is certified to meet Highways England standard BS EN 1793 (Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices) and complies with durability standards BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2.
Material Construction: Manufactured from FSC-certified timber that is pressure-treated to UC4 Tanalised specification. The timber is surface-incised to maximise preservative penetration, making it suitable for ground contact.
Service Life: The fencing is designed to be maintenance-free and has a manufacturer-specified 30-year desired service life, subject to correct installation and site conditions.
Finish and Function: The timber has a natural pale green finish, which can be painted or stained with a breathable product. The solid panel construction also provides a high degree of visual privacy as an alternative to industrial-style fencing.
Kit and Installation Information
Kit Contents: Each loose kit contains all components required to assemble one 5.0m high x 3.0m wide fencing bay. This includes: EchoAbsorb Straight Boards, a Gravel Board, Capping and Counter Rails, Horizontal Rails, and Cover Strips.
Post Installation: The system requires a dig-in post installation. It is compatible with galvanised steel posts, which are available separately from First Fence. Steel posts are supplied with wooden wedges for installation.
Site Prerequisites: The intended fence line must be cleared of all vegetation. Panels should not be installed in locations where they may be subject to standing water. For wind loading suitability at a specific location, a structural engineer must be consulted.
Our EchoAbsorb Panels are available in heights from 1.8m to 10.0m and also in a 2.4m width format.
First Fence also has an EchoReflect and an EchoGroove range for more timber acoustic fencing options. We also have a collection of Sound Absorption Barriers and accessories for temporary fencing.
