What are the different types of acoustic barriers for constructions sites?

When you mention the words “acoustic barrier” to the average person, most would probably picture a big block of grey foam getting nailed to a wall in music studio. Not many, on the other hand, would know that this and other kinds of noise-reduction technology play such a big role in other industries – acoustic barriers for constructions sites being a prime example.

In this article we just want to quickly run through the different options when it comes to acoustic barriers for construction sites so everyone can see it’s not just foam on a wall.

What makes a good acoustic barrier for construction sites? 

Before we get into the different types of acoustic barriers for construction sites, let’s just take a moment to describe the type of acoustic barrier we’re talking about here.

The biggest difference from the well-known foam example we’ve already highlighted is the fact this type of acoustic barrier isn’t fixed in a permanent fashion. Because construction sites can basically pop up anywhere and at any time, these acoustic barriers have to be more versatile and economical, and allow easy access disassembly and storage when not used on a project.

With that in mind, acoustic barriers for construction sites are typically:

  • Portable, flexible and adaptable, so they can be easily deployed by hanging on fences, walls and hoarding.

  • Durable and weatherproof, so they can offer a high level of performance in all conditions over a long period of time.

  • Customisable, with the ability to be fabricated to exact size requirements and incorporate both safety (e.g. reflective strips, hazard icons) and commercial (company logos, colours) features.
