Acoustic Noise Barriers

A noise barrier is a clever solution to tackle noise pollution caused by traffic. These barriers are positioned along roads or railways to do exactly what you need – reduce noise. It’s an ideal option for busy areas near residential estates, industrial zones, or motorways. The concept is simple: the barrier catches sound waves and either deflects, absorbs, or reflects them back. We’re seeing plastic materials like polycarbonate sheets being used more and more for these barriers, and it’s no surprise why. They come with plenty of benefits: they’re durable, weather-resistant, and open to countless design possibilities. Let’s explore why certain plastics, like polycarbonate, are so effective in these situations.

  • Always made-to-measure
  • Exceptionally strong and UV-resistant
  • A sustainable option

Which materials are ideal?

When it comes to a noise barrier, there are three main things to focus on: durability, weather-resistance, and, most importantly, the ability to block noise. Polycarbonate is a popular choice here because it ticks all of these boxes.

Why choose polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate is a true all-rounder. It’s not just strong – it’s resilient. Whether it’s heat, cold, or sunshine, this material can handle it. Withstanding temperatures from -40 to 120°C, polycarbonate takes extreme weather conditions in its stride. On top of that, it’s lightweight and easy to process. Whether you need to saw, bend, or engrave it, polycarbonate can do it all. And because it’s made to measure, it’s a perfect fit for your project.

A polycarbonate noise barrier offers a solution that’s strong, sustainable, and flexible. Sounds good?
