PLEXIGLAS® for noise- and wind protection
Ensure peace with transparency
A wide variety of interests intersect when planning sound insulation measures along traffic routes. With PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop acrylic, the most important requirements can be met at the same time - e.g. effective noise and wind protection properties, high light transmission, extreme weather resistance, exceptional stability and good environmental compatibility.
In addition, PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop is also an aesthetic asset: Since the material is very easy to process, practically any shape and colour is possible.
The advantages at a glance
Transparent noise and wind protection: PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop solid sheets offer high airborne sound insulation with maximum light transmission - 30 years guaranteed non-yellowing for colourless transparent products.
Excellent mouldability and stability: Specific test results certify that PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop products has very good values in the relevant areas (airborne sound insulation, load as a result of snow removal, stone throw resistance, etc.).
Bird protection and splinter prevention: PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop XT BirdGuard warns birds by means of 2 mm wide visual strips; PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop GS CC has embedded splinter protection and also serves to protect birds.
Certified production, tested quality
All solid panels for the construction of noise protection systems are manufactured by a DIN EN ISO 9001 (quality) and DIN EN ISO 14001 (environment) certified manufacturer in a casting process by polymerisation or extrusion.
The "suitability" of the large-format PLEXIGLAS® GS and XT sheets has been tested and confirmed in accordance with the relevant EN standards. According to current knowledge, the material does not release any relevant quantities of toxic or other undesirable substances.
What to consider during processing
The material thickness is determined by static and acoustic calculations as well as by load tests. On request, we can advise you on the thickness determination and pre-dimensioning based on your project-specific information.
The mounting accessories must be physically and chemically compatible with PMMA glazing1. For all-round clamp fastening, we recommend suitable extruded profiles based on EPDM rubber as an intermediate layer.

NOISE CONTROL ALONG TRANSPORT ROUTES
PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop panels for heavily trafficked roads stand out for their high weather resistance and maximum design flexibility. The wide variety of colors and surface finishes allows for functional yet visually appealing solutions for noise barriers.
NOISE CONTROL FOR RAIL TRANSPORT
Noise barriers made of PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop meet the stringent requirements of rail transportation, including DB guidelines and relevant EU standards. They also offer bird or stone chip protection upon request.
Wind protection
Molded PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop components provide effective wind protection on bridges and along coastlines by significantly reducing wind speed. The lightweight, easily moldable PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop solid sheets are an ideal alternative to glass or other materials and enable sleek, efficient designs.
