This one is double and we have a vacant block beside and behind us, so we get a lot of wind. How come they can't fix it? My SS said, by regulation the sarking should come out a bit from the lip of the roof (not sure if I'm describing it correctly). So naturally it can vibrate depending on wind direction and how strong it is. So if you cut it off then it may cause water to go in. As for the flapping sound, naturally not all sarking will be taped up 100% that it won't flap... But I'm not too bothered with the flapping sound, more on the vibration sound. Anyway I can't 100% trust my builder. However if its is a single storey house I will experiment it myself and figure it out.. But since its double storey, not much I can do. Tried to crawl in the roof cavity but too hard to go all the way to the edge of the roof. Did you approach Metricon in regards to your roof sound, What did they say? Wow, I see there are others having similar roof sarking noise issue as me! I literally just finished my 6 month service period. Unfortunately, I did not log the case for roof sarking noise as I thought it was sort of normal. However, I've come to realise this is not normal upon doing further research. According to my research, Anti-flap pads / Security pads are supposed to be installed at every 2nd batten. This is like a foam-like cushion material that just sits underneath the sarking. This stops the flapping of the sarking (wind noises) and ultimately longevity of the sarking itself. Think about it if the sarking keep flapping and creasing, the foil will eventually tear off. Metricon appears to use Bastile Roofing for the installation of my clay tiles. If you go on their website and check out their sarking brochure. Link here: http://bbp.style/PUBLIC/products/brochures/bristileroofing/RoofAccessories/BR-Accessories-RoofingSolutionsBrochure-NAT.pdf You will see anti-flap pads in the brochure. You can also google roof sarking anti flap for more information. I am planning to chase Metricon to see if they can sort this out as I am just out of service period. It might even be covered under their 25yr structural warranty. Or, there should be 10yr warranty for the installation through bristile roofing. I actually should have realised this earlier.I have built a double storey with another builder and the roof sarking is perfect. I have never heard a single noise from sarking. I have lived in it for 5 years. Let me know how everyone else goes! Re: Building with Metricon 8549Feb 20, 2020 1:18 pm Kimmykim Anyone experience leaking from the vent?
