Zinc Noisy When It Rains? Here's a Trick to Reduce It!

Have you ever had trouble sleeping because of the tick-tick-tick sound from the zinc roof when it rains? Don't worry, you're not alone! Zinc is known to be light and cheap, but the noisy sound when it rains often makes people dizzy. Well, there is a way to reduce the noise from the zinc roof without having to replace the entire roof!

1. Use Soundproofing
Install a layer of acoustic dampening on the bottom of the zinc roof, such as aluminum foil foam or glasswool. This can reduce the vibrations of the rain falling on the zinc surface.

Tip: Choose soundproofing materials that are also heat resistant, so that the house is not only soundproof but also cool.

2. Cover with Plywood or Gypsum
Add ceiling gypsum or plywood under the roof frame. In addition to dampening sound, this can also make the room look neater and more modern.

3. Use Additional Insulation
Insulation materials such as rockwool or polyurethane foam can be clamped between the frame and the zinc. The result? More soundproof and can last longer.

4. The Distance of the Zinc Frame is Calculated
If the zinc frame is too sparse, the vibrations from the rain will be felt more. Install the battens with an ideal distance, so that the zinc is more stable and does not vibrate too much when it rains.

5. Use Quality Zinc Types
Thin zinc is indeed cheap, but it is easy to make noise. Choose thick zinc or high-quality zincalume which can reduce sound better.

Conclusion
You don't have to replace the expensive roof! With soundproofing, additional layers, and the right choice of materials, you can keep your house quiet even in heavy rain.
