ABOUT OUR ENCLOSURES

What are acoustic enclosures?

Acoustic enclosures are custom-engineered structures designed to significantly reduce the noise emitted by air conditioning condensers, heat pumps, and other HVAC equipment. Where a standard installation may generate noise levels that disturb neighbouring properties or breach local authority limits, an acoustic enclosure provides a proven, measurable solution.

As specialist acoustic enclosure manufacturers with over 30 years of experience, we design, supply and install bespoke enclosures tailored to each specific site. No two installations are the same — the size of the equipment, its positioning, and the required level of noise reduction all influence the final design.

We work with all major HVAC brands including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Samsung and Toshiba, and can design enclosures to house single units or multiple adjacent units on the same site.

WHY DO YOU NEED ONE?

When you need an acoustic enclosure

Meeting noise regulations

Local authorities have strict limits on noise from HVAC installations. Our enclosures ensure your installation meets all regulatory requirements.

Resolving neighbour disputes

Condenser noise is a common cause of complaints. An acoustic enclosure provides a proven technical solution and demonstrates consideration for neighbours.

Protecting your investment

Retrofitting noise control after installation is significantly more expensive. Planning for acoustics upfront avoids enforcement notices and costly remedial work.

Sensitive locations

Installations near hospitals, schools, care homes or dense residential areas often wouldn't be viable without acoustic treatment. We make them possible.
