Description
Industrial Noise Enclosures | Modular Acoustic Plant Enclosures
Our industrial noise enclosures provide high-performance acoustic isolation and internal sound absorption. Engineered with a self-supporting modular design, these customisable acoustic booths protect the environment, factory personnel, and noise-sensitive locations from excessive machinery and industrial plant noise.
Key Features and Modular Design
- Simple Self-Assembly: All components are designed to slot into place using a standardised 450mm wide main panel footprint.
- Fully Customisable: Enclosures can be manufactured to any size and configured with single acoustic doors, double acoustic doors, vision windows, ventilation systems, silencers, and weather louvres.
- Health and Safety Compliance: Conforms to health observation protocols for workers exposed to noise with reference to ISO 6189:1983
Technical Specification and Panel Material Profile
| Component feature | Specification metric | Material & Finish |
| Exterior shell | 1mm profile | Mineral fibre with black tissue facing |
| Internal absorbent | High density core | Multi perforated steel plate |
| Interior face | 0.5mm profile | Light grey (RAL 9002) |
| Standard finish | Similar to RAL 9002 | Light grey industrial lacquer |
| Supply condition | Flat pack | Modular component kit |
AC80 Panel Acoustic & Fire Performance Data

Structural Support & Framework Engineering
For larger structures or external installations, internal structural steel support frames are required to brace the walls and support the roof load. This is critical when heavy acoustic silencers are roof-mounted in outdoor plant applications.
- Internal (Factory Floor) Installations: No structural steel is required unless the total enclosure size exceeds 4m (w) x 6m (l) x 4m (h)
- External (Outdoor Plant) Installations: Maximum structural span without steel reinforcement is 3m (w) x 3m (l) x 4m (h) Note: Support steel is mandatory if silencers are roof-mounted or if the enclosure is subjected to localized wind loadings.
Weatherproofing & External Roof Options
To ensure long-term durability and high waterproofing for outdoor noise enclosures, choose between two primary installation trims:
- Flush Trim Solution: Utilize specialized AC80 installation finish trims for configurations where the roof section sits directly on top of the wall panels.
- Overhanging Roof Solution: Install a lightweight, weatherproof corrugated roof over the entire enclosure assembly to divert rainwater away from panel joints.
In both cases above, for external enclosures that require a high degree of waterproofing it is recommended to install a light-weight waterproofed corrugated type roof over the enclosure.
