Noise barriers

Weather resistant solutions for noise attenuation

A transparent noise barrier, made of high-performance plastics, is a first-class solution when space is tight, and visibility is an essential requirement. We are your product development partner and want to help you design durable transparent solutions for noise barriers. A well-designed sound shield can attenuate harmful noise up to 34 dB. A noise barrier made of hard-coated polycarbonate complies with EN 16240 standard.

Polycarbonate is a superior material for noise barriers

High-performance plastic sheets, such as hard coated polycarbonates, are an excellent solution for noise barriers. They are durable and lightweight material, and coating improves their impact, abrasion, and UV resistance. Due to coating, noise barriers are easy to clean if they get vandalized.

Polycarbonate has many benefits over the glass. For example, the material weighs less but is more durable and impact resistant, and it doesn’t break easily. In addition, Aikon® PC AR 1020 has excellent optical quality, and it can be easily cleaned as it withstands chemicals.

Production methods

Our full solution covers everything that is needed to produce safe and durable noise barriers from transparent high-performance plastics. They have high impact resistance and withstand varying weather conditions.

Plastic coating increases weather resistance

Hard coating provides advantages to applications that operate in demanding conditions. We provide three different hard coating agents to polycarbonate sheets which improve the weather resistance of the polycarbonate noise barrier. Hard coated polycarbonates are UV-resistant, and the coating prevents the material from yellowing.

Laminated plastic sheet is a superior material

Plastic laminating significantly improves the impact resistance of polycarbonate and thereby increases the durability of the material. Lamination prevents the sound barriers from breaking and thereby extends their service life. Laminated polycarbonate is an extremely durable and high-quality material.

Plastic printing brings new opportunities

Plastic printing is an effective method to mark high-performance plastic sheets. Our plastic printing technologies enable durable markings for the noise barriers. For example, digital printing offers the possibility to decorate noise barriers with different shapes, colours, or pictures.
