Acoustic Barrier AB403 Size 2400 x 1200 mm

AB403 is one of our most popular products designed as an advanced acoustic barrier that easily attaches to most types of fencing, which is available in many colors such as blue or green color that easily blends into the environment. This makes it ideal for landscaping projects, residential home use and any outdoor applications where blending into the natural foliage is a concern.

AB403 acoustic barrier has better sound deadening properties and features than our AB302 acoustic barrier curtain. It comes in 2400x1200mm and is one of the most effective first steps in reducing noise for industrial, commercial, and residential projects.

Acoustic barrier was originally developed for factory machine noise isolation, the acoustic sound barrier has had proven success in many demanding applications. It’s defined as a “new defense against outdoor noise pollution”. Commonly used in industrial usage, highways, construction sites, mass transit rail lines and even dog kennels, it is now available for residential use. It is a simple and economical first step in noise reduction which can truly make an improvement in your life and increase your privacy.

The AB403 acoustic barrier is a unique 18mm thick, 2400x1200mm heavy elastic acoustical material. Longer lengths of this mass loaded vinyl barrier are available. A unique characteristic that sets it far apart from other sound barriers when dealing with very low frequencies, i.e. railroad/truck road noise and AC/heat pumps.

In frequencies of 50 Hz and below, the heavy limp acoustic barrier material actually begins to vibrate from low frequency sound waves. In essence it is transforming these low frequency sound waves into mechanical movement and internal friction energy. In addition the acoustic noise barrier becomes as an absorbent material in these frequencies. It not only reduces sound as a barrier, but also in very low frequencies, it acts as an acoustical absorbent material which is not reflecting back those low frequencies as other barriers would do.

While the indoor acoustic barrier is used and recognized throughout the world, the new acoustic barriers for construction sites are extremely strong and engineered to withstand outdoor construction sites, highway environments, and even offshore oil rigs. Full exposure to dirt, grease, oil, mold or even being driven over is not a problem.

Having yellow eyelets on the top edge and some on the bottom, allows easy hanging or attaching of the fence to just about anything. Heavy duty nylon wire ties are available at additional cost. Multi-level construction projects can easily overlap multiple acoustical barriers attached to scaffolding to achieve many floors of vertical height sound blockage.

Staggered wood shadow box privacy fences (which of course provide no acoustical privacy) can easily incorporate acoustic barrier without changing the visual appearance. Simply remove the vertical wood slats on your side of the fence, install the acoustic barriers and reinstall the wood vertical slats. This is very easily done and leaves the appearance intact while adding acoustical privacy. A hammer, small crowbar, screw gun and some non rusting screws should be all the tools required.
