Sam Mendes production ‘1917’
Silent Roof was appointed to provide their Rain Noise Reduction Technology to the filming location of the First World War epic ‘1917’. The filming in the two protected buildings was completed in the late spring of this year 2019. The movie is soon to be released in the UK.
George MacKay and Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman star in 1917 as two young British soldiers tasked with crossing into enemy territory to deliver a message that will likely stop the slaughter of hundreds of soldiers, one of which is a brother to Chapman’s character, Blake. Alongside MacKay and Chapman in the film are Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Richard Madden, Andrew Scott, Mark Strong, Teresa Mahoney, Daniel Mays, Adrian Scarborough, Justin Edwards, Gerran Howell, Anson Boon, and Richard McCabe.
1917 is launched in the USA on December 25, prior to a worldwide release on January 10, 2020.

Update

Throughout the pandemic, like so many other businesses, Silent Roof Ltd have been ticking over waiting for normal services to be continued. We have however continued to supply our Silent Roof Rain Noise Reduction solution to projects here in the UK but also in The Netherlands and USA.

HS2 installed 900+ square metres of Silent Roof at their Bracknell film studio facility. This installation was undertaken by The Structure Group (TSG).

Silent Roof was self installed on two barrel roof lights at their studio in Amsterdam. The comment made during a hose pipe test following installation was “

“We’ve done a test by bringing a water hose to the roof top to test the materials, and were all very impressed with the noise reduction. We think rain noise has been reduced by 90-95% with this material, and are excited to see how it performs against our Dutch weather. Many thanks to you for providing us with this solution“.

Rooftop Advertising

04/07/202014/11/2021 Film Industry

In 2019, we were approached by a global brand via our installation company who posed the question, ‘what other colours are available?’

But this enquiry was not for suppression of rain noise but for advertising purposes. A base layer of one colour overlaid with a contrasting colour of the companies logo.

This project was for a 10,000 square metre roof structure overlooked by numerous high rise buildings , the perfect advertising platform.

Following months of negotiation and efforts within the R&D department of our manufactures in Germany, a new version we refer to as, Coloured Silent Roof Matting Material (CSRM), was born.

Now advertise AND suppress annoying rain noise at the same time with this unique variation of Silent Roof.

QUESTION: Could the ONE application pay for THE OTHER?

The installation approach begins with the base layer of the chosen colour, the company logo is cut from a special thinner layer of CSRM and secured to the base layer. Our installation company can provide this installation service worldwide.

Do you have a situation that could benefit from this new development?

News item from KRQE.com. Click image to view video.

NBCUniversal has utilised Silent Roof Rain Noise Reduction Technology on a warehouse conversion in Albuquerque NM for a new studio complex. The project was announced in June when the media giant entered into a 10-year venture with Garcia Realty and Development to renovate and redevelop the warehouse location which is located at 1601 Commercial Street NE, into a state-of-the-art TV and film studio. Silent Roof Ltd was approached earlier in 2019 to send information and a sample of our Silent Roof Matting Material (SRM), to NBCU for evaluation purposes. A shipment of over 6000 square metres of SRM was eventually sent to the Albuquerque location in September and the project is anticipated to be fully completed during December of 2019.

Silent Roof – operating in the background on Sky One production.
Silent Roof Matting Material (SRM), reduces rain noise to a whisper for the filming of ‘Temple’ the new Sky Original on Sky One. In September 2018 the filming location known locally as the ‘Monster’ building in Southall London, was taken over for the filming of this Sky series adaptation of the Norwegian television Valkyrien, which first aired in 2017. It stars Mark Strong, Carice Van Houten and Daniel Mays and was commissioned on 23 August 2018. The roof of the building where certain sequences were shot, was totally covered with SRM protecting the sound recording of the production from rain noise interruptions and consequential additional costs associated with re-takes.
Daniel Milton (Mark Strong) is a surgeon who, driven by personal tragedy, operates an illegal clinic deep below London’s Temple tube station for those who either wish to remain outside the system, or for those desperate enough to seek treatment unavailable through conventional means. Aided by disgruntled underground worker Lee (Daniel Mays) and guilt-ridden medical researcher Anna (Carice van Houten), Daniel’s dangerous and unpredictable clientele test his morality to the limit. But if it means he can save the person he loves, it will all be worth it.
Since filming completed, the Silent Roof Matting Material has been removed from the ‘Monster’ and relocated to a building in Wembley, this soon to be a film set for Netflix. Silent Roof, use then reuse.
