Living in an apartment should mean peace, comfort, and safety. But in reality, many residents struggle with noise pollution — from heavy rains pounding on roofs, traffic sounds, or even nearby construction. The good news? Choosing the right roofing material can drastically reduce noise and make apartment living far more comfortable.
At Scaffs India, we specialise in roofing systems that go beyond aesthetics and durability — our shingles and tiles also improve acoustic performance for modern homes and apartments.
Why Roofing Noise Reduction Matters in Apartments
Comfort: Reduces disturbances from rain, wind, and outdoor noise.
Health benefits: Quieter interiors help lower stress and improve sleep quality.
Value addition: Noise-proof apartments attract tenants and buyers at higher value.
Key Roofing Materials for Noise Reduction
1. Architectural Roofing Shingles
Architectural Shingles are thicker and denser than traditional 3-tab shingles. This layered structure provides excellent sound-dampening against rain impact and external noise.
Great for multi-storey apartments exposed to heavy monsoons.
Resistant to wind and algae, ensuring both performance and aesthetics.
2. Premium Designer Roofing Shingles
For upscale apartments, Premium Designer Shingles like Armourshake offer exceptional noise insulation. Their extra thickness and textured surfaces absorb vibrations better, reducing the drumming sound of rainfall.
Best suited for luxury apartment projects where comfort is a priority.
3. Asphalt 3-Tab Roofing Shingles
While cost-effective, Asphalt 3-Tab Shingles offer basic noise reduction compared to bare metal or tin roofing. They’re lightweight, easy to install, and provide an entry-level solution for developers.
4. Ceramic and Clay Roof Tiles (Tejas Borja Range)
Ceramic roofing systems like Borja Tech, Borja EXTREM, and Alicantina 12 are denser and heavier than shingles. This mass naturally blocks and absorbs sound waves, keeping apartments quieter.
Excellent for urban apartments near busy roads.
Long-lasting and low-maintenance.
5. Solar Roof Tiles
Solar Roof Tiles not only generate renewable energy but also add an extra insulating layer to roofs. This dual benefit reduces both electric bills and external noise, making them a sustainable choice for apartments.
Additional Noise-Reducing Roofing Strategies
Underlayment matters: Using high-quality roofing accessory products like sound-absorbing membranes and ridge vents from Scaffs India’s Accessory Products range enhances noise control.
Proper installation: Even the best material won’t reduce noise if poorly installed. Our Roofing Services ensure seamless integration for performance and comfort.
Ventilation + insulation: A roof system that balances airflow and insulation prevents sound transmission while maintaining thermal comfort.
