Acoustic Enclosures
Bespoke Acoustic Enclosures for Effective Noise Control
At Billington Safety Systems, we design, manufacture, and install high-performance acoustic enclosures that control noise at source without affecting equipment performance.
Noise from machinery, generators, compressors, and air conditioning units is more than just disruptive. It can impact employee health, lead to complaints, and put your business at risk of breaching UK noise regulations. Our tailored solutions reduce noise levels, protect your operations, and ensure full compliance.
What Is an Acoustic Enclosure?
An acoustic enclosure is a purpose-built structure designed to contain and reduce noise from equipment. It uses high-density materials and sound-absorbing linings to prevent noise from escaping into surrounding areas.
Unlike standard barriers, our bespoke acoustic enclosures are designed around the following factors:
- Noise frequency and decibel levels
- Equipment size and layout
- Ventilation and airflow requirements
This ensures effective noise reduction without overheating or restricting access.
Where Our Acoustic Enclosures Are Used
Billington Safety Systems provide acoustic enclosures for industrial, commercial, and domestic applications, including:
- Air compressor sound enclosures
- Diesel generator acoustic enclosures
- Air conditioning and heat pump enclosures
- Industrial machinery and plant equipment
- Machine rooms and plant rooms
Whether you need a modular acoustic enclosure or a fully bespoke solution, we design systems that fit your exact requirements.
Acoustic Enclosures for Key Applications
Air Compressor Enclosures
Compressors generate high-frequency noise that spreads across workspaces. Our acoustic enclosures for compressors reduce noise while maintaining airflow to prevent overheating.
Generator Acoustic Enclosures
Diesel generators produce powerful low-frequency noise. Our generator enclosures are designed for indoor and outdoor use, reducing noise emissions and helping meet planning requirements.
Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Enclosures
We design air conditioning acoustic enclosures that minimise noise without affecting performance. Ideal for both commercial buildings and residential properties.
Machine Room Enclosures
Plant rooms often produce constant low-frequency noise. Our solutions contain noise within the space and prevent disruption to surrounding areas.
How Our Acoustic Enclosures Are Built
The performance of an acoustic enclosure depends on design, materials, and installation quality.
We use:
- Acoustic mineral wool (rockwool) for sound absorption
- Acoustic mesh and perforated linings
- Powder-coated steel, stainless steel, or aluminium panels
Each enclosure is designed with:
- Ventilation systems and acoustic attenuators
- Access doors (hinged or sliding)
- Modular panels for easy maintenance
- Weatherproof finishes for outdoor use
Every specification is tailored to achieve your required noise reduction level.
Designed to Meet UK Noise Regulations
Our noise reduction enclosures help businesses comply with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, which require action at:
- 80 dB(A): Risk assessment required
- 85 dB(A): Hearing protection required
- 87 dB(A): Maximum exposure limit
We also consider environmental noise limits and planning requirements, ensuring your installation meets all legal standards.
Our Process: From Survey to Installation
We manage the entire project from start to finish:
- Noise Survey – Measure noise levels and identify sources
- Design & Engineering – Create a tailored acoustic solution
- Manufacture – Precision-built panels using CNC machinery
- Installation – Professional fitting with minimal disruption
This ensures consistent quality and reliable performance.
