Echo Barrier products are made with a special high-tech composite material that absorbs noise and suppresses noise reflection. At frequencies of 300Hz-1khz, it absorbs up to 100% of sound.

Echo Barrier products are unrivalled at reducing sound pollution but are light enough for one person to install. Despite being thinner and lighter than our competitors’ products, our barriers are more effective.

Echo Barrier products are fully waterproof to industry standards, IPx 6/9. They are effective in heavy rain and can be jet-washed.

Traditional acoustic blankets and noise barriers are often made of water-absorbent materials (such as fibreglass and Rockwool). When these materials get waterlogged, they weigh the barriers down and cut their noise reduction in half.

Extensive testing has proved that Echo Barrier's products provide unrivalled noise attenuation in the field. Laboratory tests have shown that our barriers reduce noise by up to 40dB. Even though our barriers are 50% lighter than conventional acoustic barriers, they are more effective. Echo Barrier's modular system of acoustic barriers are perfectly balanced in size and weight. They easily be linked and reconfigured to customize your barriers to for your work environment.

Echo Barrier's modular system of acoustic barriers are easy to move, deploy, and reconfigure for any situations.
If you need to create an acoustic wall or curtain, you can link the barriers vertically or horizontally. If you need extra noise reduction, they can be doubled up easily.
Echo Barrier's acoustic products can be positioned and modified to to meet your needs in almost any situation.

The geometry of noise mitigation concerns the relative positions of:
* i) any barrier;
* ii) the source of noise it is intended to mitigate;
* iii) the noise receiver (in this case, the human ear).

The closer the barrier is placed to the noise source -making its "acoustic shadow" larger- the greater the noise attenuation. A barrier can also reduce more sound if it is made taller, or by using fence extentions
‍
As Echo Barrier products are lightweight and portable, they can be moved to cast the optimum acoustic shadow, and maintain the perfect site geometry as the project progresses.

The critical range in noise control is 300Hz-1000Hz. A noise control barrier must absorb as much sound as possible over this range if it is to be considered effective. Tested in the field, our barriers average a remarkable 77% efficiency over the crucial range. Considering our products are half the thickness and much lighter in weight than alternatives our competitive advantage becomes clear.

All Echo Barriers are designed with the end user in mind, they are easy to store, transport and install making for maximum site efficiency

What makes our acoustic barriers so effective?

The best way to understand how our temporary noise control barriers deliver market-leading performance at minimum weight is to take a look inside.

1. Front facing outer layer

We use super-durable, waterproof PVC, ensuring the best possible noise reduction without sacrificing appearance.

2. Noise-absorbent composite

Highest grade, acoustic absorbent made from recycled materials prevents noise from reflecting off the barrier (bio-degradable).

3. Waterproof breathable membrane

Absorbs sound, not water.

Designed with ease
of use in mind

Easy hook

Install in seconds without the need for permanent fixings

Reflective Strips

For extra visibility at night

High temperature in direct sunlight

UV resistant (5 years). Temperature resistant from -40° F to 158° F.

Mesh faces sound source

Always place the barrier with the black (mesh) side facing the source of the noise.

Do not use cutting tools

No sharp cutting tools to be used when unpacking barriers.

Frost resistant BSEN 60068/2/1:2007

Frost resistant from -40° F.

Water resistant BSEN 60529:1992

Fully water resistant, tested to IPX6/9.

Rigorous testing

There are two key measurements to consider when testing an acoustic barrier’s performance:

Transmission loss: The decrease in noise level (measured in decibels) that results when sound passes through a solid barrier;
Efficiency: The ability of a barrier to prevent sound reflection and its consequent increase in noise.

‍
By concentrating on one of these measures it is relatively easy for some barriers to perform well in the lab alone, but it is performance in the field that is vital.

Both in the lab and on worksites, Echo Barrier’s products achieve world-leading performance for both transmission loss and efficiency of sound absorption.

In some circumstances, Echo Barrier’s products perform better in the field than in a lab. The chart below shows the results of independent tests using a diesel-powered trenchless excavation drill.

When compared with their performance in the laboratory, Echo Barrier panels deployed on-site achieved an additional 5 dB in noise reduction at certain frequencies.

Temporary Sound Barriers, Florida

Keeping the sound of progress in check with portable sound barriers, Florida

Temporary acoustic barriers, Florida

Florida, or the Sunshine State, is home to plentiful wildlife, 663 miles of beaches, vibrant cities, world-famous amusement parks, and over 20 million people. It also receives a whopping 122 million tourists a year, contributing $96.5 billion and 1.6 million jobs to the state’s economy.

Since the USA bought the state from the Spanish in 1845 (in exchange for Texas), it has grown to become the third most populous in the union, and the destination of choice for those Americans in search of plentiful sunshine and a more relaxed way of life.

Every inch of Florida, from the Everglades to Cape Canaveral, Tallahassee to Disney World, relies on strong infrastructure and construction. But whether a construction project takes place in the middle of Jacksonville, or on the fringes of a national park, care must be taken to ensure noise pollution does not have an adverse effect on either the human or animal populations.

At Echo Barrier we understands that the progress of the future should not undermine the peace of the present. Our acoustic barriers allow necessary work to be carried out without excessive noise pollution, for the good of the entire Sunshine State.

Outdoor sound barriers, Florida

Containing noise pollution may be important, but it’s also difficult, regardless of whether your project is in the heart of a major city, or on a rural highway.

Completing a construction project without appropriate noise cancelling technology is likely to disturb the local community and have an adverse effect on protected regional wildlife. Echo Barrier’s exterior sound barriers for construction provide up to 43dB noise control. They are cost-effective, low-visual impact solutions which effectively deliver sound reduction. They have been used on various projects across the world, with proven, award-winning results in both rural and urban settings.

Our panels can be attached to any structure as they are incredibly lightweight and therefore easy to deploy, making it easier for you to keep your work on schedule and remain within budget. When it comes to sound wall barriers, Florida contractors will struggle to find a more durable solution than Echo Barrier.

The Sunshine State may be famous for its gorgeous weather, but when those tropical storms and heatwaves hit, our panels will be able to withstand any temperature between -40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. They are also certified waterproof, so neither rain nor a jet wash will ruin their clean, professional aesthetic.

The best temporary acoustic barriers, Florida

Echo Barrier’s modular systems can be employed across various construction and demolition projects, or on highways to reduce traffic noise.

Traffic noise from highways in both urban and more rural areas is a huge concern for the state. Using our sound barriers on highways prevents excess noise, cancelling up to 100% of noise at certain frequencies. To get the most from our highway sound barriers, Florida workers may double them up for increased noise attenuation. Echo Barrier’s lightweight designs make our barriers easy to move across various projects, or to adapt as particular project change over time.

Our panels can also be used to spread your corporate image across Florida, as they are designed to carry corporate branding. Acting as multi-purpose billboards, they can convey positive messages for your company through logos, community care messages and more.

Echo Barrier’s acoustic sound barriers will help you maintain peace across Florida and contribute to its continued success and growth. Explore our collection of barriers today.
