Description

The Decibel Noise Reduction Fence Panel is both stylish and practical, combining great looks that will complement any garden with a clever design to effectively reduce external noise. Ideal for gardens backing onto busy roads.

To maximise the fence panels’ performance in reflecting unwanted noise, 17mm thick section boards interlock with extended Tongue & Groove construction, and are mounted in a rebated frame to ensure that there are no gaps across the face of the board that would allow noise to pass through. Triform technology gives each board on the panel a triangular profile, which helps to further diffuse unwanted noise as sound waves hit multiple faces and break up.

Tests carried out on the fence panel have demonstrated its ability to reduce noise levels by as much as 30 decibels (dB), which is equivalent to reducing the noise from a petrol lawnmower down to the level of normal conversation. A 30dB reduction in noise level is equivalent to an 8-fold reduction in the perceived intensity of the noise.

For optimum noise reduction performance, the Decibel panel must be mounted to fence posts ensuring there are no gaps for noise to pass through. This can be achieved with either slotted fence posts (timber or concrete) or by screwing the panel directly to the post. The use of fence 'U-brackets' will leave an undesirable gap.

The Decibel fence panels’ effectiveness in reducing unwanted noise can be further improved by mounting the panels on gravel boards to take the height of the fence run to over 2 metres.
