How does Trex compare as a sound barrier?
Trex has sound barrier attributes and has been shown to suppress noise. The interlocking picket system and dense material create an effective sound barrier to mute traffic noise or other environmental noise. While a masonry wall is superior for this specific function, Trex Fencing is frequently used as a barrier because it provides a level of sound abatement needed for moderate reduction without the cost, construction limitations, and lack of appeal inherent in a concrete or block wall. Trex vs Masonry provides a more in-depth comparison of these two materials.
Trex finds a sweet spot, so to speak. So while masonry may be the best noise reduction on the market right now, Trex can provide you with additional benefits that you can't find with masonry.
