Birkdale’s new fencing launch is oh so quiet

Birkdale has released its new DuraPost Commercial Reflective Acoustic Fencing.

An ideal solution for both commercial and residential applications that require effective noise reduction, the robust and reflective fencing offers a sound reduction of 27dB, which has been tested to and complies with BS EN 1793-2:2018.

The fencing system is built using Birkdale’s Commercial DuraPosts, which are manufactured from cold rolled pre-galvanised steel, combined with tongue and groove reflective acoustic timber boards and rubber acoustic seals.

The acoustic timber boards are made from 70% PEFC Certified 225mm x 47mm slow-grown redwood, which is highly durable and resistant to decay. Due to its slow growth, the redwood contains tight growth rings, denser wood fibres and fewer knots, contributing to improved strength, stability and quality.

The rubber seal strips, which are inserted within the DuraPost profile at both ends of the panel to create a compressed seal within the bays, is made from Cellular Adhesive EPDM Sponge. This provides excellent air, water, UV and weathering resistance from -40 to +80° C.

As an optional extra, the fencing system can also be fitted with Whisper Cellular Acoustic Foam to bring the noise reduction up to the full 27dB. This is easily fitted to one side of the fence and held in place using an ‘S’ profile wire mesh.

John Abernethie, Managing Director at Birkdale commented: “Noise pollution is a challenge for many communities and high on the agenda for new housing developments to address.

“Our new DuraPost Commercial Reflective Acoustic Fencing is an ideal solution for busy, built-up urban areas or alongside roads to help protect neighbouring homes and businesses.

“By utilising our highly durable DuraPosts fence posts – installations are easy to undertake, reduce noise, and will look fantastic for many years to come.”
