Construction and Design

Wakefield Acoustics’ premium acoustic plant screens are meticulously designed to suit specific applications, sizes, and site conditions. Our construction options range from pre-assembled modular builds for quick deployment to site-built panel screens with integrated support steelwork, allowing for flexibility and adaptability on any project. Each screen is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring it meets both functional and aesthetic demands. Please refer to below for details of optional features of our screens. Additional information is available in the downloadable product catalogue.  

Our acoustic screens are particularly effective in reducing noise from mechanical plant equipment, providing a barrier between noisy operating areas and noise-sensitive locations. This is essential for creating a more comfortable working environment, protecting employees and surrounding communities from excessive sound levels.  

Independent Testing and Compliance

Acoustic panels used in the construction of noise barriers have undergone rigorous independent testing in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-2:2010, the international standard for measuring airborne sound insulation of building elements. Screens heights are determined by detailed acoustic analysis, in order to ensure project acoustic requirements are achieved

Key optional features

To enhance the functionality of our acoustic screens, we offer a variety of optional features tailored to your needs. Such features can include various paint finishes for corrosion protection and aesthetics, hinged and lift-off access panels, glazed viewing panels, and access doors for general maintenance.

Where plant ventilation is required, plant screens can also be constructed using our range of acoustic louvres, providing acoustic protection whilst permitting airflow.

Commitment to Quality

At Wakefield Acoustics, we are committed to delivering high-quality noise control solutions. Our acoustic screens are manufactured using robust materials designed to withstand the rigours of industrial environments while providing long-lasting performance. We prioritise customer satisfaction and aim to exceed expectations in every project, offering comprehensive support from initial consultation through to installation and beyond.  

Whether you need a practical alternative to full enclosures or a tailored solution for your noise control challenges, Wakefield Acoustics is here to help. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service enables us to provide effective acoustic plant screens that meet your specific noise reduction requirements, ensuring a compliant and harmonious working environment.

Do acoustic plant screens work?

Acoustic plant screens help prevent noise levels from being disruptive to nearby noise sensitive properties through preventing direct transmission of equipment noise, and reducing reflective noise within a plant area, or from an entire site

What is an acoustic plan screen?

Acoustic plant screens reduce noise levels from loud environments especially mechanical plant and equipment, from noise sensitive areas -usually residential locations.

How thick are acoustic plant screens?

Acoustic plant screens are manufactured to prevent loud noise levels from industrial machinery. Tailored to each specification, acoustic screens provide a perfect shield between loud operating areas and noise sensitive areas

Why use acoustic plant screens?

Acoustic plant screens absorb and reduce sound, therefore improving the quality of life for nearby noise sensitive receptors

What acoustic performance can acoustic plant screens achieve?

Typically acoustic plant screens can provide up to 15dB of noise reduction. The performance of an acoustic screen is usually dictated by a combination of the height of the barrier and the frequency content of the source noise

Where are acoustic plant screens commonly used?

Acoustic plant screens are commonly used to separate and reduce noise from industrial facilities from affecting residential areas
