Acoustic Barriers
Metafence offer both Reflective Acoustic Barrier Fencing and Absorptive Barrier Fencing, both types are expertly designed for noise cancelling purposes. Reflective and Absorptive Barriers both use the principal of steel universal beams with stress graded timber rails fixed through the web of the posts. This gives an easy flexibility for designing and building to any height, slope, step or differing top and bottom datum levels. Read More…
We provide a range of timber-based acoustic fencing systems, each engineered for specific noise reduction requirements:
- Single Sided Reflective System: Reflects noise away from the protected area, suitable for locations with noise sources on one side only.
- Double Sided Reflective System: Designed for noise sources on both sides or to enhance noise reflection for complex environments.
- Noise Absorbent System: Incorporates special sound-absorbing materials to reduce echo and reverberation, ideal for sensitive areas such as schools or residential developments.
- Soundwall Reflective System: A high-performance solution combining dense timber panels and engineered construction to deliver superior sound reflection and noise reduction.
All systems are constructed using durable timber panels treated for longevity and designed to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining acoustic integrity.

Acoustic Barriers Fencing – FAQs
What are the key benefits of Acoustic Barriers?
Acoustic barriers are designed to reduce noise pollution from traffic, industry, or play areas. They are particularly beneficial near schools, residential developments, transport routes, and leisure sites.
Are Acoustic Barriers suitable for my site or application?
Yes. They are commonly installed along highways, school boundaries, industrial sites, and near sports pitches or railway lines — anywhere noise control is a key concern.
What sizes and specifications are available for Acoustic Barriers?
Acoustic fencing typically ranges in height from 2.0m to 4.0m. Made from specially designed timber or composite panels with noise-reduction cores, they are tested to meet specific decibel reduction standards.
How effective are Acoustic Barriers at reducing sound?
Acoustic fencing can reduce sound levels by 20–30 decibels depending on specification and installation. Effectiveness is increased when the fence is positioned close to the noise source.
Do Acoustic Barriers require regular maintenance?
Maintenance is minimal. Treated timber or composite panels are weather-resistant. Regular checks ensure fixings remain secure and the panels continue to function as intended.
Can Acoustic Barriers be integrated with gates or other fencing systems?
Yes. Acoustic gates can be incorporated into the barrier line, and the system can be combined with steel or mesh fencing for layered site solutions.
