There are two types of the AcoustiVinyl Barrier Fence Systems. The "STC 32-Heavy Wall" system meets or exceeds AASHTO guidelines in the key mass requirement, wind load sustaining (most heights and velocities) and decibel reduction criteria. The more economical "STC 25-Medium Wall" system, while lighter, still provides exceptional sound reduction performance.

Both systems are aesthetically pleasing, easy to install, remarkably rugged and virtually maintenance free.

AcoustiVinyl Fence Systems Technical Information:

STC32 - Heavy Wall Specific:

• STC rating (Sound Transmission Loss) of 32 0 bettered only by much more onerous and costly concrete wall systems in known (previously tested) materials. STC20 is the minimum requirement for a true sound barrier designation.
• "Live wind load" panel performance of 45 psf on 10' post centers. Exceeds requirements for 100 mph at 14' heights in most open terrain (Exposure C).
• Surface density of 4.12 lbs/ft2 - exceeding the 4.00 lb/ft2 criteria - without any significant surplus mass (cost).
• Typical applications: key arterial roads and highways, commercial developments, industrial sites.

STC25 - Medium Wall Specific:

• STC25 rating - still exceeding mandated minimum but at reduced cost.
• Surface density of 2.36 lbs/ft2.
• Typical applications: some roadways, housing development perimeter fencing, schoolyards, business yard enclosures.

Benefits with Both Systems:

• Highly durable. Will not corrode, erode, rust or rot. Material lifespan measured in multiple decades as opposed to years.
• Near zero-maintenance. No aftercare (painting/staining) required. Rain will wash most accumulated (environmental) residue away. Excessive dirt can be power-washed away is desired. Graffiti can be removed with detergents or solvents.
• Easy installs - no heavy equipment required with panel (rail) placement. Walls can also be easily configured to house "doorways" and portals for access to city services, such as hydrants.
• Various colors and "patterns" are available for contrast or for a more aesthetically pleasing finished structure.
