The best fence for a busy street? One that keeps noise out and peace in. If your home faces a busy road with lots of foot traffic, transport corridors or a highway, choose a solution that balances acoustic performance, privacy, safety and street-ready style. Here’s how to assess your options and why ModularWalls is built for busy street living.
1. Top consideration for a busy street? Acoustic privacy.
ModularWalls’ composite panel technology, tested by the National Acoustic Laboratory of Australia delivers an Rw of 28 dB in noise reduction. While noise levels can vary depending on source and frequency, that level of attenuation can transform a noisy frontage into a calm outdoor space and help you reclaim quiet inside and out.
2. A peaceful oasis for your busy street: amplifying health benefits with ModularWalls
Research shows that long-term exposure to traffic noise while sleeping can change mood and slightly affect heart rate. ModularWalls, with their proven noise‑reduction, can help create a quieter bedroom and support more restful sleep.
3. Creating visual privacy for your home on a busy street
ModularWalls’ range of residential walls and fences provide an instant screen from passers-by. With tall heights easily blocking lines of sight and delivering a secure, private perimeter for family living and entertaining.
4. Prioritise safety and security
The monolithic, non-climbable structure of ModularWalls adds a layer of passive security; ideal for families with curious kids or properties that need robust boundary protection.
5. Choose a durable solution for a high-traffic location
Busy streets can expose fences and walls to more wear and environmental impacts. ModularWalls’ composite construction is hard-wearing and low-maintenance, and when installed per our guidelines, comes with a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
6. Don’t sacrifice premium aesthetics for functionality
You don’t need to sacrifice design for performance. Customise to suit your architectural style, including a rendered masonry aesthetic and endless designer finishes that deliver street appeal while providing the acoustic, privacy and security benefits outlined above.
7. Benefit from rapid installation
In high-traffic areas, faster installation means less disruption. Our post-and-panel system enables efficient installs – often completed in days rather than weeks, so you can return to enjoying your space sooner.
8. Customisations for a busy street: maximising form, function and natural light
Add acrylic inserts or aluminium slats to balance privacy with natural light or integrate exterior lighting for safety and ambience. Small customisations make big differences to liveability and curb appeal.
