SimTek suits San Jose lots that back onto traffic, where an owner wants a heavier screen than boards without building a masonry wall.
SimTek is a molded polyethylene panel with a steel-reinforced frame, shaped and colored to look like stacked stone. It gives a fully solid screen with more mass than a board fence and none of the upkeep of masonry.
In San Jose the people who ask for it usually back onto something loud or busy: an expressway, a freeway wall that stops short, a school drop-off lane. A dense, gap-free panel blocks the view completely and takes some edge off the noise. We do not promise a decibel figure, because that depends on height, distance and what is behind the fence.
The panels do not need paint or stain and are made to resist fading. Posts are set in concrete like any 6-foot solid fence, and in adobe clay we go deep. Check association and city rules on material and color before choosing.
SimTek fences in San Jose: common questions
Will a SimTek fence make my yard quieter?
A solid, heavy fence helps more than a gapped board fence, but no residential fence removes road noise. Height and how close the fence stands to the source matter most.
Does SimTek need maintenance?
Very little. Wash it down when it is dusty. There is nothing to seal, and the color runs through the material.
Is SimTek allowed where I live?
City height limits apply as they do to any fence, and some associations restrict materials. We check both for your address before you commit.
