Most roofs reduce noise. But a tile roof provides a far more substantial barrier than any other roofing material. In fact, tiles have a noise reduction rating of 30 decibels, where the most commonly used alternative can only manage 12.*

The raw figures alone are impressive enough. However, the jump from 12 to 30 decibels, in terms of actual noise levels, is exponential. Something akin to going from a sneeze to a New Year’s firecracker. Which means a tile roof is very effective in reducing normal, every day noise from traffic, aircraft and trains.

If you want to have peace and quiet in your home, the right choice is tile.
