Noise reduction barriers

Temporary noise barriers are growing in popularity across construction sites to help businesses comply with UK noise laws. Heras acoustic barriers help reduce noise pollution by up to 43 decibels. Construction acoustic barriers are often used at site perimeters or around high-decibel machinery. Not only does this help protect your workers, but it also helps build a better relationship with the local community.

Made from sound-absorbing materials

Both the H9 Echo Barrier and H8 Echo Barrier Quilt feature high-density, recyclable polyester cores designed for maximum sound absorption. The core is fully recyclable, and the durable PVC outer layer is designed to resist weathering and fading for up to 5 years.

Acoustic sound barriers offer 5-year fade resistance and typically last between 2 and 5 years depending on the conditions they’re exposed to.

Easy-install temporary acoustic barriers

Temporary acoustic barriers are easy to install on your Heras fencing or scaffolding using hooks or tie wraps. Quick to remove and stackable, Echo acoustic barriers are simple to transport to different sites and projects. Use the steps outlined in the “Acoustic Noise Barrier Installation” section further down the page.

The H9 Echo Barrier and H8 Echo Barrier Quilt are both high-quality acoustic solutions, but they cater to different needs.

H9 Echo Barrier (1.2m wide by 2m tall)

The H9 Echo Barrier provides superior noise reduction of up to 43dB with 100% noise absorption. It is designed for long-term use and is fully waterproof, making it ideal for construction sites, highways, and areas that require a more permanent noise control solution. The H9 is also lightweight and easy to transport, allowing for rapid redeployment when needed.

H8 Echo Barrier Quilt (3.5 m wide by 2m tall)

The H8 Echo Barrier Quilt is designed to fit one standard temporary fence panel, making it the best choice for large-scale projects where extensive coverage is needed quickly. While it offers slightly lower noise reduction at 37dB with 89% absorption, it is a flexible and lightweight alternative that can be installed efficiently across vast areas.

Before installing acoustic noise barriers, identify the locations on your site which cause the most noise pollution. Measure the area you must cover and choose the appropriate quantity of Echo acoustic barriers required.

Noise barrier installation is quick and simple. Follow the steps below to ensure your acoustic sound barriers are installed correctly:

1. Identify noise pollution hotspots

2. Measure the area and select the required number of barriers

3. Attach the top corner eyelet using hooks or tie wraps

4. Secure each eyelet along the barrier for a tight fit

5. Overlap panels where necessary to ensure full coverage

How to maintain acoustic sound barriers

Echo acoustic barriers typically last between 2 and 5 years depending on the weather and noise conditions they’re exposed to. The UV-resistant PVC ensures fade protection for up to 5 years.

For optimal maintenance, check that panels are securely installed and show no signs of wear. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soapy water will keep your barriers looking fresh.

Similar to Heras fence covers, Echo acoustic noise barriers are priced based on the number of panels purchased with discounts for larger quantities.
