Timber Acoustic Fencing

Timber Acoustic Fencing Kits

Timber acoustic fencing is carefully designed to reduce noise levels and provide effective sound insulation. Made from high-quality timber, these panels are well suited for residential, commercial and industrial environments where managing noise is important. They are an excellent choice for homeowners and domestic settings, offering a practical solution to block or absorb sound from busy roads, railways, motorways or nearby properties with high noise levels. They also enhance privacy and create a quieter, more comfortable outdoor space.

Manufactured from quality Tanalised, pressure treated timber from a reputable FSC certified UK sawmill. The timber is surface incised at the manufacturer's site and this is important for achieving the best preservative protection for ground contact timber.

These Timber Acoustic Fencing systems have been independently tested by Salford University to Highways England requirements - BS EN 1793 Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices. Tested and compliant to BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2, they also comply with Highways Sector Scheme 2C for the prefabrication of environmental barriers.

Applications of Acoustic Fence Panels

Soundproof fencing is a versatile solution suitable for a wide range of environments where noise reduction and privacy are key. Common applications include:

• Residential properties: Ideal for reducing unwanted noise from nearby roads, railways, or neighbouring homes, helping to create a quieter and more peaceful garden or outdoor space.
• Commercial and industrial sites: Useful for dampening sound from machinery or operations, helping to minimise disruption to nearby communities. These are perfect for factories, warehouses, and business premises looking to improve environmental compliance.
• Schools and healthcare facilities: Helps maintain a calm and focused setting by blocking intrusive external noise, creating better learning environments and restful spaces for patients.
• Leisure and sports venues: Effective at containing crowd and activity noise within sports grounds, event spaces, or recreational facilities, while also improving the visual boundary.
• Utility installations: Used to mask the operational sounds of generators, pumps, or other equipment on sites such as water treatment works or power stations.
• Roadside and rail environments: Serves as a barrier against traffic and rail noise, helping to reduce sound pollution for nearby residential developments or noise-sensitive areas.

These fencing systems are particularly well-suited for areas that require both functional noise control and a natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Long Service Life

The manufacturer states that these Timber Acoustic Fencing panels have a 30 year desired service life, and are designed to be maintenance free when correctly installed. We advise checking with a structural engineer for wind loading and tall fence heights for your specific location.

This range of Timber Acoustic Fencing not only looks good but provides an excellent solution for tackling excessive and unwanted noise pollution across a very diverse range of applications. They not only offer noise management, but add greater levels of privacy and are more attractive to look at than industrial-style security fencing designs.
