Compare acoustic barrier systems

Three systems, each tested and documented. Use the table to shortlist, then download the datasheet or ask us to recommend one for your acoustic report.

	Premium TGV Reflective	Board & Batten Reflective	Eco (recycled plastic)
Airborne sound insulation	DLR 26dB road / 28dB rail	DLR 23dB road / 24dB rail	DLR 26dB reflective / 30dB absorptive*
Test standard	BS EN 1793-2:2018, BS EN 16272-2:2023	BS EN 1793-2:2018, BS EN 16272-2:2023	BS EN 1793-2*
Surface mass	22.4kg/m²	15.8kg/m²	See datasheet
Construction	200×47mm tongue and groove boards laid horizontally, no rails	150×22mm boards with 50×22mm acoustic cover strip on 100×47mm rails	Interlocking recycled plastic boards (95% recycled content*)
Standard heights	1.98m to 7m	1.98m to 7m	Project specific
Posts	Timber, or S355 hot-dip galvanised steel UB for taller barriers	125×100mm timber, or S355 galvanised steel UB	Project specific
Typical use	Highways, housing, commercial, rail	Entry-level boundaries where 15kg/m² or more is specified; BESS	Highways, BESS, rail, data centres, where a maintenance-free finish is wanted

*Eco performance and recycled content are the manufacturer's data. Timber system figures: Tested by a UKAS-accredited laboratory (No. 1262) to BS EN 1793-2:2018 (road traffic noise) and BS EN 16272-2:2023 (railway noise). Full reports available on request.

Which system should I choose?

Premium TGV when the acoustic report asks for the highest timber performance, a clean solid face, or a barrier near a railway.
Board & Batten when the requirement is a reliable acoustic boundary of 15kg/m² or more at the best value per metre.
Eco when a maintenance-free, non-timber finish is preferred, or an absorptive face is needed to limit reflections.
