Acrylic Sound Barrier Panels — Transparent Acoustic & Noise Control Panels
Transparent acoustic panels for noise-control applications where visibility and daylight are design considerations. See our Acrylic Noise Barrier Engineering Guide for system-selection considerations.

RIVER PEOPLE’s SoundShield™ Acrylic Panels utilize multi-layer laminated construction:
3-5 Layer Acoustic Core: Variable-density polymers disrupt sound waves (125Hz-4000Hz)
Impact-Resistant Surface: High impact resistance; comparative values should be confirmed against the applicable material grade and test method
Edge and mounting details should be designed to limit acoustic leakage; actual performance depends on the complete barrier construction and installation.
Performance Specifications
| Metric | Performance Data |
|---|---|
| Sound Reduction (STC) | Published range: 28–32 dB; project-specific acoustic performance should be verified for the tested construction and installation. |
| Light Transmission | High visible-light transmission is available in clear acrylic grades; exact transmission depends on thickness, grade and test method. |
| Density | 1.19 g/cm³ |
| Operating Temp | -40°F to 180°F (-40°C to 82°C) |
| Fire Rating | Grade-specific; applicable fire or flammability classification should be confirmed for the selected material. |
Key Advantages vs. Traditional Barriers
✅ Visual Transparency
Maintain sightlines in sensitive areas (highways, parks, studios)
✅ Weather Resistance
Designed for outdoor use; UV/weather performance and any warranty terms should be confirmed for the selected grade and project conditions
✅ Zero-Maintenance
Non-porous surface resists graffiti, dirt, and corrosion
✅ Rapid Installation
Lower density than glass can reduce handling weight; project-specific weight depends on panel thickness and complete system design.
Industry Applications
Transportation: Highway sound walls, railway platforms
Architectural: Balcony screens, rooftop mechanical screening
Industrial: Factory partitions, generator enclosures
Creative: Recording studio windows, outdoor amphitheater baffles
Customization Options
Thickness: 10mm to 50mm
Tints: Bronze, Grey, Blue (maintains STC rating)
Textures: Frosted, Prismatic light-diffusing
Mounting: Framed, post-mounted, or ceiling-suspended systems
