Redefining Rooftop Noise Control

Non-Penetrating Gravity Barriers

Traditional rooftop acoustic barriers often require structural penetrations, complex coordination, and additional installation challenges. Parklane Gravity Barriers™ were developed to provide an alternative.
 
Using a proprietary non-penetrating design, Gravity Barriers™ deliver the acoustic performance of a conventional rooftop barrier system while minimizing rooftop penetrations, simplifying installation, and reducing project risk.
 
It’s a smarter approach to rooftop noise control. Engineered for modern buildings and complex rooftop environments.

Why Project Teams
Choose Gravity Barriers?

No Roof Penetrations

Reduce impacts to roofing systems and simplify project coordination.

Faster Installation

Modular systems designed for efficient rooftop deployment.

Reduced Project Risk

Fewer penetrations can mean fewer coordination challenges and installation uncertainties.

Acoustic Performance

Engineered to meet project-specific noise control objectives.

A Smarter Way To Control Rooftop Noise

Gravity Barriers™ challenge the assumptions behind conventional rooftop barrier systems.
Gravity Barriers™ utilize a proprietary engineered design that allows systems to remain stable while minimizing or eliminating roof penetrations.
 
The result is a rooftop noise control solution that balances acoustic performance, structural stability, installation efficiency, and long-term flexibility.
 
Because innovation should make complex projects easier.
