When considering ways to reduce noise in outdoor areas, many homeowners and developers ask the same question: Do acoustic fence panels really work? The short answer is yes, when designed and installed correctly, they are an effective barrier against unwanted sound.

Acoustic fence panels are specially engineered structures that help to block, absorb, or reflect noise. Unlike regular fencing, they are made using dense materials and follow specific construction principles that make them suitable for environments with high noise levels.

At JCW Acoustic Fencing, our fence panels are tested to recognised British and European standards, ensuring they provide genuine performance for commercial and domestic use alike.

Acoustic fence panels work in several ways:

For best results, the fencing must be continuous, with no gaps between or under panels, a common flaw in DIY attempts. JCW’s professionally installed fencing ensures optimum performance from day one.

Our case studies speak for themselves. At Stag Energy in Cumbria, our fencing reduced environmental noise from industrial operations. Likewise, our installation at a KFC drive-thru helped minimise sound pollution in surrounding residential areas.
