Acoustic Enclosures

Acoustic Enclosures are specialist structures that are used in industries for noise control. They are essentially a sound proof box (room) they can be constructed near enough anywhere and are an enclosed space in which sound made inside this space is reduced to everything outside of this enclosure.

Large Metal ones are often used in factories and enclose large loud generators. These generators out put an extreme amount on noise and can make the environment completely unworkable. The Acoustic Enclosure will eliminate up to about 90% of this noise, some structures are completely soundproof but can be very costly.

Some of the features of these industrial Enclosures are as follows:

• Ones designed for use in external sites (outside) are weatherproof.


• The panel thickness is specifically calculated for the purpose it is manufactured.


• Double glazed and single glazed windows are available as viewing panels.


• Double lead and single doors are available for access.


• Optional Pipework and ductwork entry points.


• Natural or Forced Air ventilation systems are available in Industrial Acoustic Enclosures.


• Lighting is available, this can be very important for enclosures that you need to enter as depending on its surrounding environment it could be pitch black inside.


• General electrics can be included for the likes of heating.

There are many different finishes that you can have:

• Powder coated finishes are available.


• Paint finishes in any desired colour.


• Plastisol Coated Steel finish.


• Galvanised Stainless Steel self colour.

Smaller acoustic enclosures are available for different purposes and they do not have to be used only within industrial situations.
