Urban environments are often filled with the sounds of traffic, construction, and daily human activity. While cities offer many conveniences, the downside is the constant exposure to noise — which can take a toll on wellbeing, productivity, and property value. Acoustic fencing provides a smart solution for those seeking peace amidst the urban hustle.
1. Noise Reduction for Better Living
Acoustic fencing is specifically designed to reduce the level of noise entering a space. Whether you’re a homeowner trying to enjoy your garden or a business protecting customers from nearby traffic noise, these fences can cut sound levels significantly — by up to 28dB when installed correctly.
JCW’s SoundBarrier™ system is ideal for blocking or absorbing sound in busy urban settings, from city housing estates to retail parks.
2. Enhanced Privacy and Security
In addition to controlling noise, acoustic fencing also boosts privacy and security — essential in densely populated areas. Taller fencing with no gaps helps shield properties from view while deterring trespassers or vandalism.
It’s an ideal solution for property developers seeking to create desirable, private plots even within the heart of the city.
3. Improves Mental Wellbeing
Studies have shown that chronic noise pollution can increase stress, disrupt sleep, and affect cognitive function. By reducing exposure to urban noise, acoustic fencing can support a healthier lifestyle — helping people relax in their homes or focus better at work.
4. Planning Compliance
Local planning authorities often impose acoustic requirements on new developments near roads or railway lines. Installing professional-grade fencing, such as that supplied by JCW, helps developers meet these requirements and avoid project delays.
5. Adds Property Value
Noise control is an attractive feature for potential buyers or tenants. By investing in acoustic fencing, property owners can increase the appeal — and value — of their buildings. Our systems have already made a difference on new residential developments across the UK.
6. Flexible and Visually Appealing
Modern acoustic fencing is far from industrial-looking. With clean timber finishes and a choice of heights, JCW’s fencing is suited to a wide range of urban aesthetics — whether sleek and modern or traditional and natural.
