Polycarbonate Noise Barrier

Polycarbonate is the most effective material for noise absorption and helps to ensure a quiet atmosphere. The exterior walls of the conference room are lined with a thick, clear sheet of polycarbonate, which absorbs noise and creates a quieter environment for all the attendees. Polycarbonate Noise Barrier is a lightweight, durable, heat-resistant material that is perfect for use in noise control barriers. It has superior properties which makes it a preferred material for use in noise control barriers. The material has a high impact resistance, is resistant to corrosion, and is durable. (Read More)

Acrylic also has similar properties to Polycarbonate and the two are equated at many junctions. The light weight of the material makes it possible to install Polycarbonate Noise Barrier in almost any kind of situation. It is also very appropriate for mounted structure applications. Polycarbonate and acrylic have a 95% light transmission capability thus it does not darken enclosures. In many instances, the passage of light is a deterrent as the entry of natural light especially in open-air surroundings is preferred. 

This disruption of the body’s natural rhythms can lead to an increased risk of depression and other mental illnesses. To counter this effect, scientists are now looking into how to provide light to people when the sun is blocked. This is one reason why in many cases Polycarbonate / Acrylic noise barriers are preferred over Metallic noise barriers.  Many people prefer to keep the lights off when they sleep and wake up in the morning to the sun. However, when the sun is blocked, such as when a person is sleeping in a closed room, the person’s circadian rhythm can become disordered. (Get More Information)

Features of Polycarbonate / Acrylic Noise Barrier

The polycarbonate/acrylic noise barriers are built to provide the best performance and some of the main features of the barriers are as follows:

Weight: Light in weight makes it easy to handle and also easy to install. It can be placed in locations such as raised bridges and flyovers. It is also suitable for overhead rail lines and metro lines.

UV protected: The polycarbonate noise barriers are coated with UV protection on both sides to ensure that it is not affected by UV rays since these structures are usually erected outdoors and required to withstand the continuous sun during all seasons.

Impact resistant: The polycarbonate/acrylic sheets are very strong and impact resistant. It will not shatter with stone impact or any other impact either.

Weather resistant: The polycarbonate/acrylic material is not affected by adverse weather conditions. It is also UV resistant and will not crack or break with strong sun.

Noncorrosive: The frames used for the noise barriers are galvanized and are non-corrosive. It will not rust or corrode. The material for the noise barrier sheets is also noncorrosive.

Flexibility: The polycarbonate/acrylic sheets are versatile and mouldable.

Light transmission: The translucent materials provide good light transmission of up to 95%.

Noise reduction: The acrylic/polycarbonate noise barrier is the most effective at sound reduction and can reduce sound up to 36 dB(A)
