Frequently Asked Questions
What is Blockatech?
Blockatech is the acoustic module manufactured by Cierres del Hogar, designed for acoustic screens and metal noise barriers. It is designed for projects where it is necessary to reduce noise propagation while also providing a sturdy, durable module suitable for outdoor environments.
The system combines structural metal panels, micro-perforated or windowed solutions, rear cassettes, and sound-absorbing material on the inside.
What are Blockatech acoustic screens used for?
Blockatech noise barriers are used to reduce noise pollution on highways, roads, in industrial areas, urban environments, residential communities, infrastructure sites, and other areas where outdoor noise is a problem.
Its purpose is to act as a physical and acoustic barrier, helping to absorb some of the sound waves and limit their propagation toward homes, buildings, properties, or sensitive areas.
What sets Blockatech apart from a conventional sound barrier?
Blockatech is designed with structural folds directed toward the source of the noise. The sound-absorbing perforations are protected within the panel’s design, which helps prevent direct exposure to water, dirt, or environmental damage.
Unlike other screens with more exposed perforations, Blockatech aims to combine sound absorption, mechanical strength, weather protection, and safety in a single metal system.
What materials are Blockatech acoustic screens made of?
Blockatech acoustic screens are made of galvanized steel. The system consists of structural metal panels, a rear cassette, and a high-density rock wool sound-absorbing mat covered with a mineral fiber anti-particle lining.
Colors and finishes can be customized to suit the specific project, allowing the solution to blend seamlessly into various urban, industrial, or residential settings.
What acoustic benefits does Blockatech offer?
The Blockatech technical data sheet includes sound absorption and insulation values obtained through testing. This data allows for an assessment of the system’s performance in projects that require a documented and technically verifiable solution.
In any case, the suitability of the noise barrier must be evaluated based on the type of noise, the location, the required height, the installation environment, and the specific requirements of the project.
Does Blockatech also provide physical security?
Yes. In addition to its acoustic function, Blockatech is designed as a metal security enclosure. Its structural design, materials, and mechanical strength make it suitable for projects that aim not only to reduce noise but also to demarcate, protect, or enclose a space.
This can be useful in residential areas, industrial zones, infrastructure sites, or other locations where the barrier must serve a dual purpose: soundproofing and protection.
Are Blockatech screens suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Blockatech is designed for outdoor use. Its design protects the sound-absorbing perforations from rain, wind turbulence, environmental dirt, and other factors that can affect the performance and durability of a noise barrier.
The choice of materials, thicknesses, finishes, and installation system should be determined based on the specific project and environment.
Can Blockatech be adapted to each project?
Yes. Blockatech acoustic screens can be customized based on dimensions, location, type of project, acoustic requirements, finish, material, and the required installation system.
To evaluate a proposal, it is helpful to provide measurements, photographs, floor plans (if available), the approximate height of the screen, and information about the surrounding environment.
Who can order Blockatech acoustic barriers?
Blockatech is primarily aimed at professionals: distributors, installers, construction companies, engineering firms, architects, industrial companies, government agencies, and companies involved in civil engineering and building construction.
Individuals who need a solution of this type can contact Cierres del Hogar for guidance or to be referred to the most appropriate professional.
