Acoustic cladding: the effective solution for reducing noise in buildings

Acoustic cladding is now an essential acoustic solution for limiting the spread of noise pollution generated by industrial, technical, or commercial buildings. Machines, cooling units, ventilation systems, production workshops: these are all sources of noise that can impact the environment, local residents, and working conditions.

At ECIB, we design and install custom acoustic cladding solutions, designed to meet real, measurable, and regulated acoustic requirements.

What is acoustic cladding?

Acoustic cladding is a facade system specially designed to reduce noise transmission between the interior and exterior of a building. Unlike conventional cladding, it incorporates absorbent and insulating materials that can significantly attenuate sound waves.

It is generally composed of:

  • a resistant outer shell (steel, aluminum, etc.),

  • an absorbent core (mineral wool, high-density rock wool),

  • an interior lining that is perforated or specifically designed to promote sound absorption.


Why install acoustic cladding on a building?

Acoustic cladding addresses several major challenges:

Noise reduction

It limits the spread of noise to the outside and complies with the thresholds imposed by regulations.

Regulatory compliance

Industrial sites are subject to strict environmental noise standards. Acoustic cladding helps to ensure compliance.

Improved comfort

It improves working conditions for employees and reduces noise impact on neighboring areas.


How does acoustic cladding work?

The principle is based on two complementary actions:

  • Sound absorption: porous materials capture sound waves and limit their reflection.

  • Sound insulation: the mass of the system prevents noise from passing through the facade.

Performance is measured in terms of sound attenuation (dB) and absorption coefficient (αw).


ECIB acoustic cladding: a tailor-made solution

At ECIB, every acoustic cladding project is fully customized.

We operate in:

  • existing or new buildings,

  • complex industrial environments,

  • specific architectural constraints.

Our solutions include:

  • high-performance acoustic panels,

  • mineral wool or rock wool,

  • systems adapted to climatic and mechanical constraints.


Applications of acoustic cladding

ECIB acoustic cladding can be used in many sectors:

  • industrial buildings,

  • power plants,

  • logistics platforms,

  • technical rooms,

  • production workshops,

  • Noisy commercial buildings.


Acoustic performance and standards

ECIB solutions enable significant noise reductions, in line with French and European regulatory requirements.

We integrate:

  • acoustic studies,

  • simulations,

  • in situ measurements,

  • compliance with applicable standards.


Acoustic cladding vs. conventional sound insulation

Unlike interior insulation, acoustic cladding acts at the source of the noise, directly on the building envelope.
It is more effective for:

  • industrial noise,

  • continuous noise emissions,

  • the exposed buildings.


Why choose ECIB?

✔ Recognized acoustic expertise
✔ Customized solutions
✔ Support from start to finish
✔ Measurable performance
✔ Compliance with standards


Frequently asked questions about acoustic cladding

What is acoustic cladding?

Acoustic cladding is a facade system designed to reduce noise transmission through a building.

What is the difference between acoustic cladding and traditional cladding?

Acoustic cladding incorporates absorbent and insulating materials specifically designed for noise treatment.

Is acoustic cladding mandatory?

It becomes essential when noise levels exceed regulatory thresholds.

Can acoustic cladding be installed on an existing building?

Yes, ECIB offers solutions tailored to existing buildings.
