How to insulate the boot of a car

Reduce noise in vehicles by insulating the boot
Noise from the exhaust and the rolling movement of the wheels become audible in the car through the floor of the boot. This part of any vehicle is made from relatively light and thin sheet metal, especially where the spare wheel is located. And since the boot is connected to the wheel arches these need to be insulated as well. These parts of the bodywork can be insulated with the same products.

How to insulate the boot and what product to use
Insulating the boot floor is fairly easy. The insulation products for of a car floor, boot or wheel arch is called anti-drumming or deadener. For the insulation of these parts of your vehicle we recommend Vibraflex Extreme. This is a sound deadener and anti-drumming products that works really well and is easy to apply.

Before you start make sure to read the instructions in the Vibraflex box. Short description:
Degrease and clean the surface or the boot thoroughly and apply Vibraflex Extreme on the whole floor in the boot and the spare wheel well too. Warm the Vibraflex up to about room temperature. Vibraflex sheets are installed just like a large sticker, this product is self-adhesive. Make sure that no air bubbles form under the Vibraflex sheets. For extra insulation you can use Isomat FM, a very nice looking floor mat that looks great in the interior and provides extra insulation.
