Noise Levels Comparable or Less than Traditional Roofing
Thursday, August 26th, 2010
Metal roof noise is a frequent subject of discussion with customers considering a metal or aluminum roofing system, or a traditional wood frame roof and asphalt shingles roof. Our metal roofing designs have taken this consideration seriously. Metal Roofing Systems installs textured metal roofs with grooves that help channel water for drainage, and to deaden the sound of rain, or even hail associated with strong rainstorms. Learn about the advantages of metal roofing over asphalt shingle roofing.
What kind of noise levels can I expect from a residential metal roof?
- Under normal construction, installation noise is no more objectionable than traditional methods – noise levels are comparable to these techniques
- Our textured residential roof systems actually help reduce the noise from rain, even in heavy rainstorms
- Our rugged, textured roof systems reduce “sound-board” resonating effects you might expect with a traditional metal roof or flat metal roof
- Our deeply textured folds in the roofing system nearly eliminate any “pinging” sounds common with older commercial roofs
