Frequently asked questions
What rating should a roadside acoustic barrier have?
Road barriers are rated by DLR to BS EN 1793-2. NoiseBloc Premium TGV achieves 26dB, Board & Batten 23dB and Eco absorptive 30dB (manufacturer's data). Your acoustic consultant sets the requirement.
Reflective or absorptive for a road?
Reflective barriers suit most roads. An absorptive face, such as NoiseBloc Eco absorptive, helps where noise could reflect towards homes on the other side.
