If you've ever had to deal with a metal roof, one thing you would know about is how annoying the impact noise can be. From rain, to hail, to sleet, you can get decibel ratings of about 80 from these impact factors, which is equivalent to the noise of a freight train just half a block away!

You view it from an experienced contractor point of view. Everyone else is the homeowner point of view. Most wouldn't know what is right or wrong about an installation. I didn't give it a second thought when you nailed the straps down. The more I watch the more I learn. Thanks again for your invaluable knowledge.

@gpadog 3 года назад

I'm Not a roofer, but I've installed a few metal roofs. I and every roofer I've talked to, use galvanized ring shank nails for the strapping. I've tried to pull the boards up after the the correct number of nails were installed and ended up having to cut around the nails and pull each one with a flat bar. So if Jeff used smooth shank and only 2 nails over 4' , yeah it won't hold.

The "50 year" manufacturing guarantee is largely a legal game. In the one I investigated, they dropped the warranty to the more typical 25 years for commercial installations. This is because commercial owners tend to hold onto properties long enough for the warranty to come into play.

Fantastic demo thanks! Can it be put in a loft to soften airplane pilot circuit training that is +/- 500 ft. and really annoying or should we consider removing the roof tiles and put it under? It is old and there is no felt just heavy plastic membrane. It isn't our forever house but we have to do something. I prefer to use the loft which is boarded for storage and placing the mat on its floor would require a top layer of ply I guess?

Hey I have a small extension that is attached to my house, only about 60 sq ft but it has metal roof and is super loud during storms. The issue is the metal roof is already installed so I cannot perform this procedure! Can I lay that same material over the metal some how just to deaden the noise? The complication is how I would fasten it, the metal is pretty thick, would there be screws that would penetrate it?

@danielhawkinson8915 3 года назад

I'm really glad I you did this video! I'm hoping to do my roof possibly next spring/summer. I do have a few questions though.. I want to go with a black roof (I live in Northern MN) to help my 4/12 roof melt snow off. But I was also thinking of doing a foil faced foam under the steel to have a radiant barrier for summer time. Would the vinal still go down first on top of my 3 tab shingles? Or with 2" foam board, would I still need the vinal sheet? I'm sure it would still just help even more, so I do like that idea! If you can let me know your thoughts I'd appreciate it!

@berniemac8413 3 года назад

Remove the shingles, install the rigid foam board (one or two layers of 2” depending on your budget) then install the strapping and forget about the underlayment he mentioned in the video. You’ll have an R value of 13 or 26 just on your roof! That’ll help with any noise from rain or hail. AND!! It’ll help with energy efficiency as well! Oh also, installing two layers of 2” rigid foam board is the same price as the underlayment he’s talking about in the video. You’re better off investing in the rigid board. There are more benefits to it!😀

This is one of the few construction channels where living comfort is considered. He has covered insulation, and isolation ... waiting on ventilation. Many new construction buildings have abysmal ventilation systems. It's not just for allergies anymore, with families living in isolation from infectious loved ones, a good ventilation could be a matter of life and death... and who doesn't like fresh air? Some of the systems currently on the market have really efficient regenerative heat exchangers built-in to reduce the impact on heat and AC cost.

@jaandel1 3 года назад

Rigid foam its more affordable and perform better

@berniemac8413 3 года назад

That’s expensive! So for a small roof roughly 30 squares, you’re looking at 30 rolls x ~$200/roll.. plus tax! You’re looking at $6,500 just on this underlayment!! The tin is cheaper than the underlayment!! 😂😀 at that price you’re better off installing polyiso rigid foam board under your metal roof! Not only will it help with the noise reduction, but the foam would help with energy efficiency as well!

@technosaurus3805 3 года назад

@Les Currently it's limited by production capacity, but you can get on a waiting list. I also prefer function over form, so won't be using them myself either ... I mean what do you put on the other side(s) of the house? They really don't seem to have considered that - especially for hip style roofs common in hurricane prone locations (west coast engineers don't think of these things) The biggest barrier to roof mounted solar is that the orientation often dictated by zoning and building codes is incompatible with efficient solar conversion. In suburbia where weirdly oriented culdesacs and small lot sizes are common, it can be nearly impossible to properly orient the roof for solar while accounting for offsets, setbacks and easements... plus it would look weird and stick out like a sore thumb. That's not to say that a solar subdivision couldn't be done if it was planned from the start.
