New Cabin has Noisy Metal Roof! Help! | General Discussion | Archive | Ask The Experts Forum

Last year we bought a cabin that has our bedroom with a vaulted ceiling under a metal roof. The inside is nicely finished with wood cedar planking and the metal roof is what you would find at Lowes. Can we make the roof quieter? When it rains or any ice falls from the cedar trees it is really loud. Can the metal roof be removed and something installed under it to quiet it down? The inside can't be touched because of the cedar planking. In the photo it is the portion to the right of the door.

I need to say we want to keep the metal roof, just find a way to modify it if possible.	Randy Gerth 1/1/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12519/find/
You have a beautiful place there. Yes, the roof could be removed and re-installed with some foam insulation. However, frankly, that is easier said than done. Have you thought about spraying the underside of the roofing or roofdeck with urethane foam?

Unfortunately (?) :) the underside is cathedral on the inside with a nice wood finish so I wouldn't want to disrupt that. This summer I may take off a section and then see what is underneath it and see how it is insulated.

The only thing I would suggest is that, in the process, you do not negate any ventilation which now exists.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 1/7/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12522/find/
