This makes it ideal for landscaping projects, residential home use and any outdoor applications where blending into the natural foliage is a concern. Green Acoustifence has the same sound deadening properties and features as our original black Acoustifence. In addition, this new version features advanced reinforced edging, stainless steel cable ties, and is also made and sourced in the USA. It comes in 6 X 30 foot-sections and is one of the most effective first steps in reducing noise for industrial, commercial, and residential projects.

Acoustifence® was originally developed by the Acoustiblok corporation for offshore oil rig noise isolation, the Acoustifence has had proven success in many demanding applications. defines Acoustifence 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.jcpenney home collection curtains discontinued The Acoustifence is a unique 1/8th inch, 6' x 30' (3mm x 1.83m x 9.14m) heavy mineral filled, barium free visco elastic acoustical material. orange sailcloth curtainsLonger lengths are available. curtains masterton

It is made in the U. S. A. (from all USA materials) and, unlike fences or shrubs, this material does extraordinarily well in not only blocking direct sound, but 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/heatpumps. In frequencies of 50 Hz and below, the heavy limp Acoustifence material actually begins to vibrate from low frequency sound waves. threshold paisley shower curtain yellowIn essence it is transforming these low frequency sound waves into mechanical movement and internal friction energy. buy coloroll curtainsLaboratory tests indicate that this transformation process reduces these low frequencies from penetrating the Acoustifence by over 60 percent relative to the human ear. extra long shower curtain waffle weave

In addition the Acoustifence becomes as an absorbent material in these frequencies with test results showing in an NRC (noise reduction coefficient) as high as 0.78 (1.00 being the max). As such it is clear that the Acoustifence 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 (sheet lead workis in the same manner).blue groupe curtain falls While the indoor Acoustiblok material is used and recognized throughout the world, even winning awards in the British House of Commons, the new Acoustifence material is 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 for the Acoustifence. Having black anodized brass eyelets every 6 inches 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 supplied with the fence and stainless wire ties are available at additional cost. Multi-level construction projects can easily overlap multiple Acoustifences 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 Acoustifence without changing the visual appearance. Simply remove the vertical wood slats on your side of the fence, install the Acoustifence 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. To help you with your expectations, consider your noise source as a light bulb in a totally black night. The fence will block direct light (the majority) from reaching you, but any surrounding higher structures or trees will allow some lesser reflections to reach you.

Sound acts in virtually the same way, therefore, the more barrier between you and the source the better. Note: "Sound Abatement" is a reduction in noise as nothing is "sound proof." And while the Acoustifence has been tested in independent certified acoustical labs and the measurements (STC 28, representing a 85% reduction to the human ear) are very accurate, your results will be less, and vary greatly depending on fence height, reflections off surrounding environment, distances, elevations, and noise frequencies. Be that as it may, putting a sound barrier such as Acoustifence between you and the noise should be the first, and most beneficial step in reducing your noise. For an additional hourly charge our engineering department can produce an acoustical prediction map of your location to better assess the sound reduction outcome. The program we use is Cadna A, considered the most advanced in the industry for out door noise predictions. A big step up (and greater investment) from the Acoustifence is our which block more and absorb (non-reflecting) virtually all sound striking them.
