Noistop®
The modular acoustic barrier from RockWool
Introducing Noistop®
Noistop® acoustic fencing is designed to be completely modular and can even be cut to size with the use of an adjustment kit. It’s an easy to install & low maintenance solution with a 30+ year typical service lifetime.
It can be used in Commercial, Industrial & Domestic environments to help combat noise escaping and/or noise entering an area. Instead of simply bouncing the noise away, Acoustic Fences absorb the sound waves.
Noistop® has several key applications that benefit from its soundproofing properties.
- Machinery Acoustic Barrier
- Road Noise Reduction
- Air Source Heat pump barrier
- HVAC Acoustic Barrier
- Factory Soundproofing
- Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
- Train Noise Reduction

Case Studies.
Acoustic Barriers can be used in various settings to provide an effective absorption solution, from Air Source Heat pumps to reducing the noise from a railway. Find out more about some of the use cases of Noistop® and how acoustic fencing is changing the way we deal with noise.
How Noistop® Works
Noistop® works slightly differently to most other acoustic barriers. Instead of simply reflecting the sound back, it absorbs the energy by converting it in to another form such as heat. By absorbing the energy, we are reducing the chances of that sound travelling elsewhere after being diffracted.
The stone wool core acts as your absorption material, low enough in density to absorb sound yet high density enough to be naturally water resistant. This makes Noistop® fencing extremely weather & mold resistant contributing to its expected 30 year lifespan.
You also have the freedom to build your fencing up to 6 metres high, creating a larger shadow zone. (the area in which sound waves cannot penetrate)
Noistop Reduction Estimate
Reflection.
Reflection is where a sound wave changes direction after hitting a high density surface such as bare brick or wood.
Absorption.
The conversion of sound in to another form of energy when it comes in to contact with a low density material.
Distance & Height.
The distance and the height of your fencing plays a key role in its performance and is unique to every situation.
Mineral Wool
Absorbs and diffuses sound waves, reducing the amount of noise that can pass through it. Stone wool is naturally fire resistant and has service lifetime of over 30 years.
Polythene Netting
Highly durable mesh made from polythene. Protects the stone wool core while allowing sound to be absorbed.
Galvanized Steel
Perfect against harsh weather conditions due to the corrosion-resistant coating. Available in 5 colours.
Pine Wood
An optional/non-standard finish of quality pine wood with chrome-free impregnation from FSC Certified suppliers to guard against moisture, rotting & insects.
