BIRKDALE SOUND SHIELD PRO ®:
A SMARTER APPROACH TO ACOUSTIC FENCING FOR COMMERCIAL PROJECTS
As urban environments continue to expand, noise pollution has become one of the most persistent challenges facing modern developments From busy transport corridors and mixed-use schemes, excessive noise can significantly impact wellbeing, comfort and long-term usability of spaces. For landscape architects, developers and contractors, acoustic fencing solutions must deliver proven noise reduction without compromising on durability, sustainability or visual appeal.
Birkdale’ s Sound Shield Pro ® Acoustic Fencing has been developed precisely with these challenges in mind. Representing a new benchmark in environmental noise control, Birkdale Sound Shield Pro ® combines advanced acoustic engineering with robust materials and flexible design options.
Proven Performance and Independently Tested Independently tested and accredited by the Acoustic Research Centre at the University of Salford, the range delivers sound reduction ratings of up to 28dB, providing confidence that performance claims are backed by rigorous testing. The acoustic fence panels can be used for many applications such as highways, infrastructure projects, housing developments, and many more applications.
Engineered for Strength and Longevity A key differentiator of Birkdale’ s acoustic fencing is the use of the company’ s market-leading DuraPost ® steel fence posts. Manufactured from cold-rolled structural steel, DuraPost ® has been tested to withstand wind speeds of up to 110mph.
Its patented H-section profile provides a superior strengthto-weight ratio compared with traditional timber or concrete posts, while advanced corrosion protection delivers guarantees of up to 25 years. This translates into faster installation, long-term reliability and reduced maintenance over the lifecycle of the project.
Flexible Panel Options to Suit Any Scheme Birkdale Acoustic Fencing has been designed to offer flexibility without compromising performance. The range includes four distinct panel options. For projects where a traditional appearance is preferred, the timber acoustic barrier is constructed from 70 % PEFC-certified redwood boards. This option achieves noise reduction of up to 28dB, making it ideal for highways, rail and infrastructure settings where maximum performance is essential. For contemporary landscapes, the DuraPost URBAN ® Composite Panels provide a modern, low-maintenance alternative that mimics the appearance of timber. Crafted from at least 70 % recycled materials, these panels are eco-friendly and mould and rot resistant and maintenance free.
Completing the range, DuraPost PRIMA ® Composite Panels delivers strong noise reduction with a contemporary aesthetic. DuraPost PRIMA ® panels offer a clean and modern whilst remaining resistant to mould and rot.
