This video shows an alternative roof construction that barriers road and air traffic noise, This is part 1 of the series with Part 2 due in September 2022 where we look at the fixtures and fitting and that all important soundproofing result.

Some of the product and materials used:
➡️ TecSound at 5kg/m2: www.floorscan.co.uk/product/tecsound-50
➡️ TLX Silver: www.tlxinsulation.co.uk/tlx-silver/tlx-silver.aspx
➡️ Rockwool RW3 (60kg/m3): www.rockwool.com/uk/products-and-applications/product-overview/slab-products/rw3-en-gb

Quietco has been using variations of this system for over 10 years, This particular system featured in the video has three independent 0% condensation risk analysis on it. The soundproofing roofing system has also been approved by technicians at the NFRC (The National Federation of Roofing Contractors).

Unfortunately, architects, builders and developers are unknowingly applying building materials and techniques that have been proved to make unwanted noise worse in homes.

For example, roofing techniques may do nothing to barrier environmental road noise or air traffic noise from getting into the house; in fact, commonly used materials and techniques can actually channel road noise around the house. The frustrating thing is that readily available alternative materials that are not difficult to install can reduce the noise from outside.

We have found that most foam-based products do very little for sound reduction. When you can achieve airtightness by spraying foam-based products, this will give a small perceived improvement with some high frequencies, but we have found that it is not at all effective for (low-frequency) road traffic noise and noise from neighbours. When the foam cures and solidifies, it bridges any isolation between different materials it is applied to and therefore makes structure-borne noises worse. Spraying foam into difficult-to-reach areas gives massive thermal advantages over many insulation products on the market, however.
