5 benefits of acoustic fencing

Why is acoustic fencing getting more and more popular?

Our towns and cities are more densely populated than ever, housing developments are being built nearer main roads and cities never sleep. Environmental noise can be a nuisance, it affects our hearing, wellbeing and experience of being at home. In recent years finding ways to reduce noise has been a hot topic and the fencing industry has stepped in to help. Noise barrier fencing is now a popular item and something we are proud to be able to deliver.

It’s not just local authority planners and commercial project managers that are ordering more acoustic fencing, but also residential developers and homeowners who are keen to use fencing to reduce noise.

We have several options for acoustic fencing.

Jakoustic is an innovative timber barrier system that can reduce noise levels by as much as 32 decibels* while maintaining an attractive and ‘natural’ facade.

For local authorities, noise barriers can mitigate the noise produced by new or existing roads. For commercial project planners, they help to ensure that retailers can operate 24/7 without disturbing people who live in close proximity to stores and facilities.

For residential developers and homeowners, noise barriers can help improve quality of life by minimising noise from surrounding properties or commercial premises, as well as increasing the value of their homes.
