HOW SOUND BARRIER WALLS WORK
Sound barrier walls are also referred to as noise walls, noise barriers, acoustic barriers, and noise fences. They’re made from mineral wool laid between layers of perforated fibreglass or vinyl. Unlike standard fences that bounce sound around, these materials effectively absorb both high-frequency and low-frequency noises. In fact, studies have shown sound barrier walls effectively reduce noise from railways, highways, and industrial sites.
THE DANGERS OF LOUD NOISES
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds can lead to health problems, including:
-
Circulatory issues, such as high blood pressure, strokes, or heart attacks
-
Nervous system problems, including irritability, depression, anxiety, and mood swings
-
Insomnia
-
Weakened immune system
-
Hearing loss
-
Loss of focus and lack of concentration
Erecting sound barrier walls can reduce the risk of developing these issues.
THE BENEFITS OF SOUND BARRIER WALLS
Sound barrier walls offer the following benefits to commercial and industrial customers:
-
They’re durable: Although sound barrier walls are porous, they last longer than concrete and steel barriers. This is because the materials won’t rust or rot.
-
They’re affordable: The materials used in sound barrier walls are inexpensive. This makes them an affordable solution.
-
They’re easy to install: Sound barrier walls are lightweight and easy to install. You don’t need to use a crane or perform any welding.

They’re graffiti-resistant: You can easily remove graffiti from sound barrier walls with common solvents.
-
They increase curb appeal: Sound barrier walls have an attractive finished look that’s more appealing than other commercial or industrial fencing types.
