Both terms refer to the same thing: a structure designed to reduce noise propagation between a sound source and a sensitive area.
Custom Acoustic Screens – Industrial and Road Noise Barriers
The ECIB acoustic screens are designed to effectively reduce noise pollution generated by industrial activities, road, or rail infrastructures.
As experts in custom acoustic solutions, we assist businesses, local authorities, and project owners in implementing durable noise barriers tailored to each environment.
Permanently reduce noise pollution with ECIB acoustic screens
Industrial, road, or mechanical noise is a major source of discomfort and sound pollution. ECIB acoustic screens are designed to contain, absorb, and attenuate unwanted sounds through optimized structures, specifically engineered for each site configuration.
Our solutions combine acoustic performance, structural robustness, and aesthetic integration to ensure an effective and lasting result, regardless of the installation context.
What is an acoustic screen?
How it Works
An acoustic screen is a vertical structure designed to block or absorb the propagation of sound waves. Placed between the noise source and the area to be protected, it acts as a noise barrier.
Composed of absorbent materials (wood, perforated metal, mineral wool, concrete, composites, etc.), it reduces sound levels by several decibels depending on its height and density.
Possible Applications
ECIB acoustic screens are suitable for a wide range of environments:
-
Industrial sites or production plants,
-
Logistics areas and transport platforms,
-
Roads, highways, and railway lines,
-
Energy production plants,
-
Technical installations (generator sets, pumping stations, etc.).
High-Performance Acoustic Screens for Every Environment
Industrial Acoustic Screens
Designed to adapt to the demands of industrial environments, our screens provide significant sound attenuation around machinery, workshops, or storage areas.
Robust and modular, they integrate seamlessly into your existing installations while complying with safety standards.
Road and Highway Acoustic Screens
Our road noise barriers protect residents from traffic-related disturbances. They offer excellent mechanical resistance, harmonious landscape integration, and high acoustic performance, certified according to European standards.
Railway Acoustic Screens
Specifically designed for railway infrastructure, these screens reduce track noise emissions while preserving visibility and operational safety.
Performance and Materials of Our Acoustic Barriers
Certified Acoustic Performance
Each ECIB screen is tested to ensure maximum effectiveness:
-
Sound reduction index Rw up to 35 dB(A),
-
Sound absorption DLa compliant with EN 1793 and EN 1794 standards,
-
Fire behavior and mechanical resistance validated in laboratory.
Our acoustic experts size each project according to the site constraints, the required protection height, and the regulatory objectives.
Available Materials
We offer a wide range of materials to meet all requirements:
-
Wood: natural, treated, or composite, ideal for landscape integration,
-
Steel / Aluminum: high durability and resistance,
-
Concrete: high insulation and long-term strength,
-
Vegetated: an aesthetic and ecological solution,
-
Acoustic Composites: an excellent compromise between lightness and efficiency.
Aesthetic and Environmental Integration
Because an acoustic screen must be effective without detracting from the landscape, ECIB designs solutions that blend into their environment:
natural wood panels, colored finishes, partial or total vegetation...
Our solutions combine technical performance with a controlled visual impact, as part of an eco-responsible approach.

FAQ – All About Acoustic Screens
What is the difference between an acoustic screen and a noise barrier?
How do you choose the right material for your acoustic screen?
The choice depends on the installation context, the noise level to be addressed, and the desired aesthetic. Our experts will advise you on the best solution for each project.
What are the possible attenuation levels?
Depending on the type of material and configuration, an acoustic screen can reduce noise by up to 35 dB(A).
Does ECIB operate throughout France?
Yes, our teams operate nationwide to design, manufacture, and install your custom acoustic screens.
