What is the WHIS®top?
The WHIS®top is a lightweight aluminum diffractor, that can be mounted onto any (existing) noise barrier to deflect sound upwards. The WHIS®top adds a 4 to 5 dB noise reduction, comparable to raising the existing barrier 2 meters.
- Extra reduction in existing situations
- Lower constructions
- Cost-effective
- Widely supported by residents
The WHIS®top’s advantages
Increasing reduction in existing situations
The WHIS®top improves reduction from existing noise barriers without radical measures
Lower constructions
With the WHIS®top, any new noise barrier can be lowered by 2 meters. That means lower noise barriers and lighter construction.
Cost-effective
Building lower makes you more cost-effective, with fewer materials, lighter construction, and reduced wind load.
Widely supported by residents
Because of its high reduction and preservation of views, the WHIS®top receives a lot of support from residents.
