BSW Taps in to Domestic Acoustic
Fence Panel Market
B
SW Timber Group, the UK's largest
fully-integrated forestry company,
has just unveiled a brand new
domestic acoustic fence panel
system. The lightweight panels are installed as
modules for convenience and can even
fit between existing posts, which makes
it easy to replace old fence panels if you
want to give your garden a fresher look.
As living areas across the country continue
to get smaller, many people now look to
their gardens for a bit more space – but
noise pollution is an increasing concern. Horizontal fence boards ensure that the
modular panels blend into one another
seamlessly and utilising both sides of the
panel creates a run that is aesthetically
attractive from any angle.
Using their expertise in developing noise-
reducing fence panels for motorways
across the UK, BSW has developed
Soundshield™ in a bid to curb noise
pollution in residential environments.
The cost-effective solution has been
proven to reduce noise levels by 22
decibels in independent laboratory tests.

Soundshield™ fence panels use timber
from responsibly managed forests and
are the latest investment from a company
which continues to demonstrate its
commitment to the UK fencing sector.
David Chapman, Sales and Marketing
Director for BSW Timber, said: “We
recognise that this is a fast-growing
market and that there is a requirement for
these products across the UK as people
re-evaluate their living spaces.
“Progress in technology is to be welcomed
and most residents these days like a bit
more peace and quiet. We feel we have
designed and invested in a product which
will not only enhance the look of gardens
but also reduce noise levels coming from
external sources.
“We've worked hard to design a system
that looks great in any environment but
one that can be installed by anyone in
only a few steps.”
