Noise pollution is a growing concern in both residential and commercial environments. Whether it’s busy roads, construction sites, or industrial estates, excessive noise can impact health, productivity, and overall quality of life. That’s where acoustic fencing comes in – a specialised solution designed to combat unwanted sound effectively.

What Is Acoustic Fencing?

Acoustic fencing, also known as soundproof or noise-reducing fencing, is a barrier system engineered to block, reflect, or absorb sound waves. Unlike standard fencing which primarily offers privacy or security, acoustic fencing is specifically designed to tackle noise at the source and limit its transmission.

At JCW Acoustic Fencing, we manufacture fencing systems that meet stringent acoustic testing standards. Our solutions are suitable for a wide range of applications including domestic settings, commercial developments, and sector-specific projects.

How Does Acoustic Fencing Work?

Acoustic fences work on three core soundproofing principles:

  • 1. Mass: Heavier and denser materials block more sound.
  • 2. Absorption: Special surface textures and internal materials absorb noise energy, reducing echo and reverberation.
  • 3. Barrier Design: Height, length, and correct installation help deflect and contain sound.

For example, JCW’s SoundBarrier™ system uses timber or composite panels with interlocking designs and dense construction. These barriers are tested in accredited labs to provide measurable sound attenuation results.
