Product Description

Two types of acoustic PVC panels

ABSORPTIVE — PW275-A

Manufactured with slots on the front face of the panel and acoustic sound absorbing media enclosed within the absorptive panel.
Proven and tested properties to consistently reduce noise.
Noise absorptive panels can be combined with reflective panels.
Panel Dimensions: 5.9” High x 2.75” Thick. Panel lengths available up to 16’
Weight: 4.3 lbs/ ft² (21 kg/ m²)

REFLECTIVE — PW275-R

Panels can contain a galvanized metal channel within, for added strength and reflects noise.
Structural panels provide strength to the wall by transferring forces on the barrier to the vertical posts.
The quantity of structural panels required is determined by specific wind loads, post spacing and wall height of each project.
Panel Dimensions: 5.9” High x 2.75” Thick. Panel lengths available up to 16’
Weight: 4.1lbs/ ft² (20 kg/ m²)
