There’s something soothing about the sound of light rain on a rooftop — but during Kerala’s monsoon downpours, that sound can quickly turn into a loud, disruptive roar. The type of roofing you choose plays a big role in how much rain noise enters your home.
At Scaffs India, we provide roofing solutions that not only protect against the elements but also enhance indoor comfort — including noise reduction.
Why Roofing Material Impacts Rainfall Noise
Different roofing systems absorb or amplify the sound of rain. For example:
Metal roofs → Often loud, as rain directly hits thin sheets.
Clay tiles → Better at dispersing impact noise but can echo in large spaces.
Shingles → Multi-layered design absorbs and dampens sound waves effectively.
This makes shingles a preferred choice for homeowners who want a quieter indoor environment.
How Shingles Reduce Rain Noise
1. Multi-Layered Construction
Shingles like architectural roofing shingles use multiple layers of asphalt and granules, which naturally absorb sound impact.
2. Granule Coatings
Protective coatings on products such as Dynasty roofing shingles scatter rain impact, reducing sharp drumming sounds.
3. Designer Profiles for Extra Mass
Thicker shingles, like Armourshake designer shingles, add weight and texture that absorb more vibrations — a natural soundproofing benefit.
4. Underlayment Enhancements
Paired with roofing accessory products like sound-dampening underlays, shingles create an effective acoustic barrier.
