FAQ
What is an HVAC soundbloc enclosure?
It is a soundproof enclosure for outdoor air conditioning and ventilation units, combining a durable composite core with a protective layer of polyurea.
How do HVAC enclosures affect equipment performance?
We design the enclosures to ensure efficient airflow, which prevents overheating and extends the service life of HVAC systems.
Do your EPS enclosures reduce noise levels?
Yes, thanks to their multilayered structure and optimized geometry, they act as an effective sound trap and reduce noise pollution.
Are foam HVAC soundbloc enclosures suitable for outdoor installation?
Absolutely. The materials are resistant to moisture, UV rays, and extreme temperatures.
Are they easy to maintain?
Our HVAC enclosure systems are built to last: they don’t rot or fade, are easy to clean with water, and don’t require regular painting.
Is it possible to order a custom design to match the building's facade style?
Yes, we finish the panels to resemble stone, brick, or stucco so that they blend seamlessly into the building’s architectural design.
Will I need special equipment for mounting?
No, the panels are lightweight and designed for quick installation without the need for cranes or scaffolds.
Are your products fire-safe?
We use fire-protective coatings that comply with ASTM E84 Class A.

HVAC soundbloc enclosures: acoustic engineering for building facades
Modern residential and commercial buildings require complex engineering systems. One of the key components is the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
Today, this is an integral part of comfort, but it also comes with its share of problems. We’re talking about noise pollution, and at times, noise levels can be critical, especially in the evening. For residents and tenants, noise from outdoor units is a source of stress, and for developers, it poses a risk of reducing the property’s appeal. Is it possible to solve this problem without compromising the facade’s appearance? Absolutely, yes, we at Decorative Architectural Shapes say.
Our solution combines an engineering approach with extensive aesthetic possibilities. We manufacture HVAC sound barrier systems based on high-density composite materials with a protective coating of industrial polyurea. This is not just a sound trap, but a high-tech protection system characterized by durability and acoustic efficiency.
Why don’t standard enclosures work?
Most standard noise-reduction solutions have two critical drawbacks:
- Weight and size. Concrete or metal sides require sturdy foundations. Placing enclosures on a terrace or flat roof overloads the load-bearing structures.
- Material degradation. Many options suffer from this issue as well. Wood dries out, plastic cracks under UV exposure, and the mesh in EIFS systems often delaminates due to equipment vibrations.
Our choice of material combination (EPS + mineral wool + polyurea) absorbs a wide spectrum of sound waves, effectively functioning as a sound silencer.
Analyzing effectiveness by layer
We design our soundproof enclosures as architectural elements built to last for decades. Here’s what they consist of:
- Core. It consists of high-density architectural EPS. Unlike standard enclosures, we tailor the design to the specific conditions of each site. We incorporate the necessary channels for effective hot-air exhaust without compromising acoustic performance.
- Protective coating. A 6–8 mm-thick layer of industrial polyurea protects the surface from moisture and UV exposure. This coating has high density and viscosity, which further dampens structural vibrations in the equipment. Additionally, unlike standard paints or mesh, polyurea does not crack due to thermal expansion.
- Acoustic performance. We take advantage of the opportunity to engineer the shape to minimize wind resistance. This is important because a properly calculated hull geometry creates an acoustic trap, preventing sound from propagating directly.
Compliance with building codes
Our HVAC enclosures are designed in accordance with current ASTM standards. We specifically adapt components to non-standard installation conditions, including wind loads and fire resistance requirements (Class A per ASTM E84). This makes our products ideal for modern development projects, where not only quiet operation but also the legal soundness of all decisions is crucial.
Professionals choose us
Transparency in all processes with no hidden conditions — this is one of the main reasons why architects and developers are eager to work with us. You’ll know exactly what we do and how we do it, and why the result will last for many years. Our products make a property more marketable and comfortable: the box integrates into the facade, becoming a stylish decorative element rather than just a technical component.
We always take full responsibility for the outcome, so when you choose Decorative Architectural Shapes, you’re choosing a conscientious partner who works with integrity and values its reputation. We create an architectural environment where engineering systems operate discreetly and efficiently.
Submit a request for a project estimate, and our engineers will propose the optimal configuration for a sound-absorption system that meets your design and acoustic requirements.
