That rain noise is wild, right? I didn’t expect it to be so loud until my first real storm—felt like I was living in a tin can. I totally get what you mean about the attic heat too. Composite looks sharp and all, but it does seem to trap more heat than the old asphalt. Radiant barrier helped me a bit, but I’m still debating if those reflective coatings are worth the hassle. Some folks swear by them, others say it’s just hype. Either way, I’d take a little extra noise over leaks any day...
Yeah, the rain on composite is way louder than I expected—first storm here and I thought something was wrong with the roof. Still, I’ll take that over the constant patching I had to do with my old shingles. Heat’s definitely an issue though. I tried adding more insulation in the attic, which helped a bit, but it still gets toasty up there. Not sure about those reflective coatings either... seems like a lot of work for maybe not much payoff. At least the place looks better from the street now.
That rain noise is no joke—I’ve heard folks compare it to living inside a drum. Honestly, I think a lot of people underestimate how much louder composite can be compared to old-school shingles, especially during a downpour. On the heat, I get what you mean. Insulation helps, but if you’ve got a dark-colored tile, it’s always going to soak up more sun. I’m a bit skeptical about those reflective coatings too—seems like more hype than real-world difference unless you go all-in with the right prep and materials. Still, curb appeal’s a win, even if the attic feels like a sauna some days.
