Noise from roof panels | Ask The Experts Forum

Harry Buckley 3/27/2015	I constructed a Florida room using 3 inch foam structural panels and the noise is more than I anticipated. I am considering the installing 1 1/2 rigid insulation and the 3/4 purlins with 3/4 insulation in the opposite direction with metal roof panels as the finish product. Do you think this will help or just a waste of time and expense. Thank you	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/20248/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 3/27/2015	Sometimes unfortunately insulation can also transfer sound. I would suggest trying to get a small air gap worked into the assembly for sound attenuation. I would not eliminate the insulation, I'd just add a small airspace as well.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/20249/find/
