Car Builders is your one stop shop for everything related to car sound deadening and car heat insulation. With its combined experience in the automotive design industry and hands-on passion for building vehicles, Car Builders have been providing motor enthusiasts with quality thermal and acoustic build materials and advice since 2009. All Car Builders products are sourced, engineered and packaged specifically for the brand in-house. The multi-stage sound deadening products specially aims to treat the different sources of noise and also dampen heat and improving sound system quality. Its range of heat products are designed around providing solutions for a range of heat problems in various locations.

Insulation Series – Serious Foundation Gear For Every Vehicle
For the polished automotive enthusiast who desires not only superb audio components but everything that supports these components, making them shine. Car Builders extensive range of sound deadening, acoustic insulation and thermal barriers are extremely affective at combating all acoustic and thermal detractors. When it comes to arresting noise or heat; Car Builders has you covered from alpha to omega!

Design Ideologies
Car Builders’ Stage 1 sound deadening material is a thin, flexible, easy to cut and mold sheet that combats problematic resonance and vibration. This is achieved by using a specially blended chemistry which is conducive to vibro-acoustic energy conversion. Put succinctly; that annoying noise becomes silent energy. Stage 1 uses a specialised damping process that involves restraining vibrations and noise by dissipating or using up the energy causing those vibrations. Via this process Stage 1 converts the movement of the vibrations into silent, low-grade thermal energy which is easily dissipated.

It’s In The Build
Car Builders’ Stage 1 sound deadening consists of a butyl rubber noise absorption layer combined with an aluminium top layer. Each box has 12 sheets, each sheet is 300 mm x 500 mm and 2.1 mm thick. Stage 1 is a butyl material meaning it does not require heating, does not smell and will not go brittle over time; all detractors of the old style tar or bitumen sound deadening materials. This butyl is a pressure sensitive compound, which is inherently sticky thus eliminating the risk of an adhesive layer failing.

Design Features
– Easy installation, simply peel off the release liner and roll it on.
– 100 % waterproof.
– No rot or deterioration.
– Easily cuts with scissors or a knife.
– Reduces heat transfer.
– Conforms and fuses easily to all types of sheet metal.
– Is odourless.
– Can be used under carpets, on roof skins, inside cavities and panels, in doors, in boots and on firewalls.
– Silver in colour, with black logos.

A Little Background
Just to give a quick overview; sound deadening absorbs vibrations and adds mass to panels. This process will make your car or van quieter as it will reduce the resonance of the panels, removing that tinny sound thin sheet metal panels have. This will reduce echo and make the inside the vehicle a much more comfortable place.

Sadly sound deadening is generally a misunderstood material. Normally the first stage of treating noise is referred to as sound deadening. This stage only really treats vibration in panels. It was often a bitumen-based product but more commonly consists of a butyl rubber with an aluminium top layer. Cheaper sound dampening sheets consist of a lower grade butyl, which is not as durable or resistant as those used by high-end brands. Butyl sheets by themselves however, will not result in dampening droning or external noise that you may be more interested in treating. This will be treated more successfully with mass loaded vinyls. If you are aware of the type of sounds that are annoying, you will be able to treat them more successfully with targeted products. If you’re unsure shoot us an email.

Sound Deadening As A Term
This term is often confusing. In physics it means restraining of vibratory motion. This includes mechanical oscillations, noise and alternating electric currents by dissipation of energy. In a general sense to dampen means to make less strong or intense. There are five common elements to reducing sound; absorption, damping, decoupling, distance and adding mass. Automotive structures limit the thickness of materials that can be used, but combinations of dampers, barriers, and absorbers are used to reduce sound. Surface damping materials such as butyl-based sound deadening sheets are very effective at reducing structure-borne noise.
