Solution to noise pollution
Architects and construction specialists looking for a proven solution to noise pollution for residential, commercial, industrial, railway and highway applications should consider Jakoustic, the environmental noise barrier from Jacksons.
Offering effective noise reduction up to as much as 32 decibels*, Jakoustic’s attractive timber façade ensures this revolutionary response to a growing problem blends naturally with the local landscape. In addition the product’s inherently strong construction and anti climb features accentuates its suitability for a high security setting where a superior standard of privacy performance may be required.
Accredited by Quiet Mark, the international mark of approval award programme from the UK Noise Abatement Society, Jakoustic is available in four formats to suit a range of applications. All Jakoustic fencing features the unique tuning fork design posts (with the exception of Jakoustic Highways, see below) and special fixings which clamp the acoustic boards between the posts. The Jakoustic range also benefits from the Jacksons 25-year service life guarantee representing a long lasting, as well as highly efficacious response to any settings exposed to unacceptable levels of noise pollution.
Jakoustic Reflective: reflects the noise away using a special profile specifically developed to deliver effective results. Boards are specifically fixed to eliminate gaps that sound can travel through. Up to 28 dB reduction in noise in laboratory testing.
Jakoustic Absorptive: features an absorptive layer on one side, which is covered with a protective membrane to help further reduce noise, levels. Up to 32 dB reduction in noise in laboratory testing.
Jakoustic Highways: is specially designed to satisfy stringent highway standards and is available in heights of up to 6m with galvanized steel ‘I’ beam posts – as either a reflective or absorptive system. Option to add timber cladding to posts. Up to 28 dB – 32 dB reduction in noise.
12k Acoustic Envirofence: features lighter 20mm thick board than the traditional Jakoustic fencing, whilst maintaining the same 123 mm cover face. Suitable for applications where a lower sound reduction solution is required.
Jakoustic is certified to BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1793-1 / BS EN 1793-2
