DuraPost® Acoustic Fencing
Why Choose DuraPost?
At DuraPost, our Commercial Acoustic Fencing is specifically designed to reduce and control the transmission of sound between two areas. Our system is most commonly used in commercial, highways, infrastructure, industrial and residential housing development boundary projects, providing a minimum sound reduction up to 27dB, as tested and compliant with the BS EN 1793-2:2018 standard and BRE wind load tested to 110mph.
Our acoustic fencing system
uses DuraPost® galvanised steel posts which is much lighter than traditional
posts. Making the handling and installation process a lot easier and quicker.
Made from galvanized steel and
slow-grown redwood, our products emphasize eco-friendliness, longevity, and reduced environmental impact.
Our acoustic fencing systems comply with local noise regulations and industry standards (BS EN 1793-2:2018), which can vary by region or sector. All our products are designed and installed in accordance with local building regulations and noise abatement laws, ensuring your project meets the necessary compliance
requirements.
Superior Sound Control Options
The primary goal of acoustic fencing is to reduce noise pollution. Our DuraPost Commercial Acoustic Fencing boasts a high sound transmission rating, which measures its effectiveness at blocking sound. Typically, the system is built using our steel DuraPosts with our tongue and groove reflective acoustic timber boards and rubber seals. However, we also offer a range of infill and panel options, providing flexibility for both sound reflection and sound absorption. Tested and certified by experts at Salford University, our systems provide the performance data you need to ensure your project meets the necessary sound control requirements.
Industry-Leading Structural Integrity
Commercial acoustic fences and environmental noise barriers must withstand harsh weather conditions and constant exposure to the elements. It is crucial that the fence is structurally sound to prevent damage or collapse, particularly in public spaces. DuraPost is constructed entirely from steel posts and frames, with our Commercial and Heavy Duty posts made from Magnelis structural steel and are BRE tested to withstand wind speeds of 110mph. This ensures consistent performance and comes with up to a 25-year guarantee. By using steel instead of traditional timber or concrete posts, we eliminate the risk of failure and degradation associated with traditional materials.
Easier Installation and Reduced Costs:
Our steel posts are significantly lighter than traditional alternatives, such as timber or concrete, while offering superior strength and consistency in performance. Our Classic post is 50% lighter than timber posts and up to 85% lighter than concrete posts. This reduces material transportation costs, makes on-site handling easier, and lowers labour requirements, whilst reducing the need for expensive plant hire. With DuraPost, you get a durable, cost-effective solution that delivers better long-term performance. It is also a more accessible and affordable alternative to other steel options, such as RSJs, which require galvanising, processing, and drilling. In contrast, our DuraPost is available from stock, treated and pre-drilled, ready for installation.
