How to reduce noise of a metal roof

Over the years we found that one of the most common questions, and sometimes even concerns about metal roofing, is the noise. Often people are considering using a metal roof, but are afraid that it may be noisy when it rains or in case of a strong wind.

We have a lot of people who want to use the metal tile roof due to its superior qualities like light weight and strength, but would like to know how if there is a way to reduce the noise of the rain.

I would like to say that one of the most common and perhaps easiest ways to reduce the noise is to use the insulating blanket installed under the metal roofing sheets.

The insulating roof blanket is usually 55 mm thick and has a foil base. The blanket is made of thick insulating materials (mineral blanket) and comes in rolls of  around 18 sq.m.

It works best when installed on top of the roof battens touching the roofing iron with its fluffy side and foil side looking down. This way it provides not only insulation, but also great noise reduction as well. It absorbs heat and noise acting as a buffer and provides a great and not expensive solution.

Insulating blanket is one of the cheapest products on the market at the moment and is easy to install.

It can be used for the carports as well see at www.easytiledcarports.com.au

  6. Metal roofing is the choice of roofing system for homeowners these days. Not only is it versatile and will fit in with any house type, it will also withstand the elements for many years to come and still look great!

  11. We have used metal roofing on the horses run in..with the typical insulated material, however we are having a huge problem with noise. When it rains it literally sounds like a gatling gun and the horses run and kick in the mud because they are afraid of it. This was a replacement roof where plywood and shingles were removed due to deterioration and rotten wood. The new roof was put on this summer. Is there a way to muffle the sound now without taking it apart and reroofing?

    1. I have the same problem with my horse not liking the sound of rain on his new tin roof. He eats then goes out and stands in the rain, even if it's cold out. I thought of either painting the roof, putting indoor outdoor grass carpet on top,or foam insulation underneath between the rafters.
