Soundproofing the Rain: Why Multi-Wall Polycarbonate Is the Silence Solution for Hotels
Quick answer
Multiwall polycarbonate is a hollow sheet with internal ribs forming air chambers between two or more skins. Those chambers break up the impact energy of raindrops, so the drumming heard on metal roofing is much reduced. It also insulates better than single-skin sheet and still passes daylight, which suits hotel patios and atriums.
Hotels across Kenya, from Nairobi city lodges to Mombasa beach resorts, often struggle with rain noise on traditional roofing. Guests expect a peaceful, quiet environment, but heavy rainfall can make metal or standard roofing sheets extremely noisy. Multi-wall polycarbonate Kenya sheets provide an ideal solution by combining noise reduction, UV protection, and durability, making them perfect for hotel roofs, patios, and common areas.https://bhd.co.ke/
