The two 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
ECIB acoustic screens are designed to effectively reduce the noise nuisance generated by industrial activities and road or rail infrastructures.
Experts in customizedacoustic solutions, we support companies, local authorities and project owners in the installation of durable noise barriers, adapted to each environment.
Reduce noise pollution over the long term with ECIB acoustic screens
Industrial, road or mechanical noise is a major source of discomfort and noise pollution. ECIB acoustic screens contain, absorb and attenuate unwanted sound, thanks to optimized structures designed for each site configuration.
Our solutions combine acoustic performance, structural robustness and aesthetic integration to guarantee effective, long-lasting results, whatever the installation context.
What is an acoustic screen?
Operating principle
A sound barrier 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.), they reduce sound levels by several decibels, depending on their height and density.
Possible applications
ECIB acoustic screens can be used in a wide range of environments:
-
Industrial sites or production plants,
-
Logistics zones and transport hubs,
-
Roads, freeways and railroads,
-
Power generation plants,
-
Technical installations (generators, pumping stations, etc.).
High-performance acoustic screens for every environment
Industrial acoustic screens
Designed to adapt to the constraints of industrial environments, our screens ensure high sound attenuation around machines, workshops or storage areas.
Sturdy and modular, they integrate perfectly into your existing installations while complying with safety standards.
Acoustic barriers for roads and motorways
Our roadside noise barriers protect local residents from traffic-related nuisance. They offer excellent mechanical resistance, harmonious landscape integration and high acoustic performance, certified to European standards.
Railway acoustic screens
Specially designed for rail infrastructures, these screens reduce track noise while preserving visibility and traffic safety.
Performance and materials of our acoustic barriers
Certified acoustic performance
Every ECIB screen is tested to ensure maximum efficiency:
-
Rw sound reduction up to 35 dB(A),
-
DLa sound absorption in compliance with EN 1793 and EN 1794,
-
Laboratory-tested fire behavior and mechanical resistance.
Our expert acousticians size each project according to site constraints, the height of protection required and 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 strength,
-
Concrete: high insulation and long-term strength,
-
Planted: 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 distorting the landscape, ECIB designs solutions that blend into their environment:
natural wood panels, colored finishes, partial or total vegetation...
Our solutions combine technical performance and controlled visual impact, in an eco-responsible approach.

FAQ - All you need to know about acoustic screens
What's 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 treated and the desired aesthetics. Our experts will advise you on the best solution for each project.
What mitigation levels are possible?
Depending on the type of material and configuration, an acoustic screen can reduce noise by up to 35 dB(A).
Does ECIB operate anywhere in France?
Yes, our teams operate throughout France to design, manufacture and install your custom acoustic screens.
