Green Acoustic Barrier

These vegetable screens that Insametal manufacture and assembly, is designed to be coated by bindweed species. This type of plant is ideal for this panel because it grows on the surface panel and climb through metallic mesh.

 

This panel is tough and is reinforced with a metallic mesh that fits in a metallic framework to withstand wind gusts.

 

These eco-friendly panels provide an exclusive aesthetic for each panel. It is usually installed in the urban infrastructure to absorb noise from the nearest neighbourhood.

Don’t you know what mean acoustic and mechanical properties? We explain to you in this short post.

This panel is an efficient and natural remedy to reduce noise in a specific area. These panels only have the mesh and beams as metallic components. Metallic mesh ensures the structure.

 

It usually has rock wool inside the panel to get an acoustic soundproofing. Density is variable depending on what the client wants.

 

This panel has two sides with the same appearance. Both sides are composed of a coconut fibre layer that ease vegetation growth whereby hydro-sowing.

They are exist three types of treatments:

Hot Galvanized according to UNE in ISO 1461:

The regulation defines the hot galvanized as the formation or zinc coating in steel. Steel is submerged in a 450º molten zinc bath that causes that zinc be stuck on steel surface.

The primary aim of this procedure consists in prevent the steel rusting and corrosion that could be caused by moisture and environment pollution.

Thermo-lacquer according to UNE in 15773:

It is a process that applies a powder covering in thin layers to metal prepared to be placed into an oven and bakes it.

The architectural quality of polyester powder allows giving the better characteristics for a clean process of powdering and provides to good tough with a better aesthetical.

Duplex System (Hot Galvanized + Thermo-lacquer according to UNE in 15773):

We apply both procedures sequentially. Hot galvanized and thermo-lacquer. It is based on apply polyester powder to galvanized surfaces when is required a better result in corrosion proofing or when seeking a better aesthetical.

The rock wool, besides the acoustic function, aims to water withholding and ease vegetation growth.

 

Metallic mesh keeps the structure in good conditions and prevents possible deformations even when plants will germinate.

 

One alternative to rock wool is stone or dust, but these materials don’t have the same soundproofing quality.

 

Our panels are easy to assembly because of divided modules that fit between steel beams (HEA/HEB or HEAA with IPE reinforcement). Steel has some treatments that contribute to durability and toughness like galvanized and thermo-lacquered that avoid humidity corrosion. The quality of these elements is S-275-JR or similar according to EN 10025 regulation.

The assembly procedure beams procedures consist in place some bolts with a length, diameter and quality that will depend on client necessities.

 

The framework that manages the stiffness to the structure and its dimensions is specified by client requirements and also depends on terrain status and withstanding wind gusts.
