What makes metal roof louder than others?

Before going into the details about how to fix the noise issue from the steel sheet in Karachi, it’s important to first understand what makes the metal roof create so much noise in the first place. Concrete, on the other hand, creates no sound whatsoever, but metal does. We can simply label this cause to the science of vibration. Indeed metal creates way more vibration than a concrete roof, and if you happen to situate tin sheet, the vibration will greatly increase, cause if light thickness. This means the sound that is caused by vibration is reduced when the thickness is increased. But in the case of the steel sheet, the thickness is low, then the sound production is so loud. Heavy steel sheet with greater thickness is not available in the market, and if it does, it’s not advised to place a heavy steel sheet over the rooftops, instead go all the way and create a concrete roof for a change.

Things that reduce sound from metal roof

If you might be thinking that reducing the noise over your steel sheet is almost impossible since the width of a metal roof will not be changed, how on Earth would other solution helps out to reduce the metal roof loudness in any way. The rain doesn’t take this lightly and will continue to make our night sleepless. Science always comes to our rescue with great success. We understand the frustration in the first place, so we won’t let beat around the bush for this one. Let’s learn some of our provided solutions that help out our customers greatly in reducing the sound from the metal roof.

Double-check fasteners and screws

Metal roof, unlike concrete roof, uses fasteners at various points, that may include at each corner, sides, and middle. These fasteners may be in the form of screws and nuts, cause the roof is light in width and drill is possible easily while creating the chance of using the screw and your fastening material. Although this solution won’t guarantee complete soundproof, but is a good starting point and would reduce the sound to a much greater extent. That being said, the method used to fasten the screws is simply using tools necessary to ensure that all the screws situated around your metal roof are properly tightened. Nothing much to it.

Use Insulation material

The major job of insulation is usually resisting any sort of energy, whether its a form of sound or heat. In this section, we are referring to soundproof insulation, which is used in various sector of society. Among the sound insulation, we can use specially made tiles over the roof, that helps out to reduce the sound in greater extend. This is usually the job of contractors that provide this insulation in the first place. As for heat insulation, Lakhwa Chemical Services has been providing our services with great success. But for reducing sound, sound insulation is required.

Special made ceiling

Once the metal roof is situated over your heads, then the next area to cover is the ceiling. Indeed, the roof never left as it is, without any ceiling. In this case, the false ceiling is an amazing technology which can be applied without much material and helps in reducing the sound of the metal sheet. The ceiling will reduce the sound of rain and such for up to 80%, which is extraordinary. We understand the applying ceiling is investment, but the result is worth the investment because, for areas where raining is normal, the sound will prove to be devastating for the long run. Not to mention, the change of leakage and seepage is also possible, because no matter how careful you are, the corrosion is inevitable as years pass on.

Define Shape structure

Rain strikes harder when the roof is flat, creating more noise in return. Making the roof slanted and angle from the top would reduce the striking of the raindrop to 90% which create lower noise on its own. This simple material profile and dynamics playing an important part in it, helps people to feel a much better condition based on the previous intensity of sounds during the flat metal sheet. Always remember as a rule of thumb that steel sheet in Karachi should always be slanted and never flat, cause of this main reason.
