Excessive noise pollution can reduce the quality of life and lower real estate values in affected neighborhoods.
| Most noise barriers are made of concrete and reduce noise passing through the wall, but they block sunlight and can look like "prison walls." The large flat surfaces attract graffiti and create screening that can decrease safety and create loud echoes which may increase noise in the area they were meant to quiet. Some walls are treated with porous materials meant to absorb the noise, but some of these materials degrade over time and the effectiveness is reduced when graffiti is painted over. |  |
QUILITE avoids these problems with:
Superior Aesthetics - The QUILITE panels have the appearance of glass block and allow sunlight to pass through decreasing the "prison wall" effect. QUILITE walls can be combined with concrete and other materials, creating unique architectural alternatives with excellent noise reduction.
Superior Noise Reduction - QUILITE reduces both noise passing through the wall and echoed noise very effectively and because this feature is designed right into the shape of QUILITE, it will never loose it's effectiveness. QUILITE's excellent performance is confirmed by laboratory testing and "real-life" field measurements.
Graffiti Resistance - Because of it's textured surface, vandals rarely choose to leave their mark on QUILITE, but if they do, graffiti is easily washed away with hot water.
Durability - Unlike most clear plastics, the polycarbonate plastic used in QUILITE has 200 times greater resistance to impact than glass and it maintains it's durability from -40 to +200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Safety - The visibility through Quilite reduces the risk of vandals hiding behind the wall or in the shadows. Also, the corrugated surface on QUILITE minimizes hazardous glare from sunlight or passing head-lights.
Low Cost Maintenance - The high strength of polycarbonate minimizes breakage and the corrugated surface hides minor dirt and streaking reducing the need to wash the wall, lowering maintenance costs on the wall.
