Acoustic Enclosures & Bespoke Solutions
If you’re looking to reduce noise, then you’ll definitely need acoustic panels. Great at reducing noise, they are a must if you’re looking for a quieter area. MG Group have extensive experience in steel fabrication, creating acoustic panels in North London for multiple different companies.
We install full acoustic enclosures to reduce noise emissions, but we can’t always do that due to ventilation requirements, or sometimes the sheer size or complexity of the noise source. In these instances, an acoustically absorbent screen or barrier can be erected to reduce the transmission of noise, which can provide a high level of noise reduction.
Acoustic panels come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and designs, making them versatile and adaptable to different industrial settings. They can be easily installed on walls, ceilings, or as partitions, providing flexibility in their placement. Additionally, these panels can be customised to match the aesthetics of the facility, creating a visually appealing and professional environment.

Standards that govern this work
Acoustic performance is described by the BS EN 1793 series, using the descriptors DLα for sound absorption and DLR for airborne sound insulation. BS EN 14388 is the product specification standard for road traffic noise reducing devices, and the BS EN 1794 series covers non-acoustic performance such as wind loading, safety and durability.
Frequently asked questions
Does acoustic fencing need planning permission?
Usually yes. Permitted development normally allows a fence, wall or gate up to 2 metres, or 1 metre where it adjoins a highway used by vehicles or its footpath. Effective acoustic fencing is typically 1.8m to 3m or more, because height is what buys performance, so most acoustic barriers need consent in their own right even when they are being installed to satisfy a noise condition.
What actually makes an acoustic barrier work?
Three things together. Enough mass to stop sound passing through, generally at least 10 to 16 kg per square metre. A genuinely imperforate construction, because gaps at the base, between panels or around posts undo the rest of the design. And enough height and length to break the line of sight between the noise source and the listener, including far enough sideways to stop noise flanking around the ends.
Will trees or a hedge reduce noise?
Not meaningfully. Planting is a visual screen rather than an acoustic one, because sound passes straight through the gaps. The recognised approach is to place a solid barrier within the planting so you get the acoustic performance and the appearance together.
How much noise reduction can I expect?
It depends entirely on the geometry and where the listener is. Close to a well designed screen, reductions of up to around 10 dBA are achievable. Anyone quoting a single figure without knowing the site layout is guessing. There are also diminishing returns above roughly 15 to 16 kg per square metre, because performance is then limited by sound diffracting over the top rather than passing through.
Do you work from an acoustic consultant’s report?
Yes, and we prefer to. Where a planning condition or an acoustic assessment sets a target and a receptor, we design the barrier to meet it rather than working from a catalogue.
