Reflective and absorption
Why it is important to understand both and why we combine them
Understand the difference between reflective and absorption fences
Sound Insulation in Fences
Purpose
Sound-insulating block and reduce the amount of noise passing through. The aim is to prevent as much external noise as possible from reaching areas that need quieter conditions.
Effectiveness
An insulating fence serves as a robust barrier that minimizes noise transmission, particularly effective against low-frequency noise like heavy traffic or industrial machinery. The result is a quieter zone on the other side of the fence, where sound levels are significantly reduced.
Sound Absorption in Fences
Purpose
Sound-absorbstion reduce noise reflection, minimizing reverberation and creating quieter environments. While absorption alone don’t block sound, its ideal for spaces where noise echoes can be a problem like in cities.
Effectiveness
Sound-absorbing fences are particularly useful in areas where echo and reverberation are issues, as they reduce sound bounce-back and create a more controlled acoustic environment on both sides of the fence.
The Dual-Benefit Solution
Combining sound insulation and absorption in fences provides the most effective noise reduction for traffic and industrial noise. Insulation blocks noise, while absorption minimizes reflections, creating a quiet environment.By employing materials that both insulate and absorb, these fences can handle a wide frequency range, making them suitable for various noise sources, including low-frequency industrial hums and high-pitched urban noise. This versatility ensures they can be tailored to specific noise conditions, providing enhanced living and working environments for communities.
When Insulation and Absorbtion meets
Fences with sound-insulating and absorbing materials on both sides offer maximum noise reduction. On the noise-facing side, absorptive materials reduce incoming sound and minimize reflections. On the opposite side, they prevent reflected noise from reaching surrounding areas, making this setup ideal for locations with sensitive zones on both sides, such as residential areas near busy roads.
Placing the fence close to the noise source and ensuring a tall, gap-free design enhances its effectiveness, blocking and absorbing noise more efficiently for a quieter environment on both sides.
