With modern life becoming increasingly noisy, more homeowners are exploring ways to reduce outdoor noise. Acoustic fences offer a powerful solution for garden and domestic environments — but do they really work? Let’s take a closer look at how these fences perform in residential settings and how JCW can help you create a more peaceful home.

Many households are affected by:

Standard fencing offers little protection from these sounds. In contrast, purpose-built acoustic fences provide genuine sound attenuation by blocking and absorbing unwanted noise.

JCW’s domestic acoustic fencing is engineered to perform in everyday garden environments. These fences:

• Use high-density timber to block sound transmission
• Feature tightly interlocking panels with no gaps
• Can be installed at heights suitable for urban noise deflection

Our fences are also pressure-treated for longevity and weather resistance, meaning they look good and last — without compromising on performance.

One of our customers living adjacent to a busy road experienced continuous noise disruption. After installing JCW acoustic fencing, they noticed an immediate drop in noise levels — particularly during evening hours. Their garden became a usable, enjoyable space once again.

Most acoustic fences in domestic settings can be installed without planning permission, provided they are under 2 metres tall. However, for higher fences or homes in conservation areas, it’s always best to check with your local council.

To achieve maximum effectiveness, acoustic fences must be properly installed. JCW’s experienced team ensures your fence is fitted to eliminate gaps and reflect sound correctly.
