Reasons to Get Car Builders’ Sound Deadening Solutions

Posted on November 16, 2023 By Peter Brown Cars

There are two types of car owners in Australia; those who see their vehicles strictly as a source of transportation, and those who see them as a place of tranquillity. For members of the latter group, a car’s interior should offer proper sanctuary from the persistent roar of road noise, mind-numbing resonance, and stifling heat; and for them, Victoria’s Car Builders is the brand they turn to most often.

Car Builders understands that a vehicle’s interior shouldn’t have to be costly and exclusive in order to be comfortable and inviting, and they’ve been supplying automotive enthusiasts with a complete range of sound-deadening, insulating, and layering materials since 2009. They offer one of the most extensive multi-stage product selections on the market, and they’re as committed to transforming your interior into a zone of tranquillity as you are.

Car Builders Custom Sound Insulation Lets You Reclaim Your Car’s Noisy Interior 

Let’s be honest: although modern vehicles are infinitely quieter and more comfortable than they’ve ever been, they still have a long way to go when it comes to sound dampening. Factory-installed sound insulation is easily overwhelmed by the relentless din of road, drivetrain, and exhaust noise; but with Car Builders’ car sound reduction materials, you have the ability to limit interior noise to a level that you’re comfortable with.

Unlike OE, or generic aftermarket sound deadener for car bodies, Car Builders’ custom products can be layered to target specific types of structural, as well as ambient interior noises, such as:

·   The rattling and vibration of sheet metal panels, door skins, or panel boards;

·   Mechanical sounds generated by your engine, transmission, and exhaust system; and,

·   Sounds originating from sources outside your vehicle like road, wind, or traffic.

Proper automotive soundproofing solutions are tasked with countering each of these types of noise separately; and it’s a process that requires deadening unwanted vibrations, blocking out mechanical sounds, and absorbing sounds that enter your vehicle from the outside. Staged Car Builders car noise insulation solutions specialize in addressing each of these noise types separately, giving enthusiasts and professional car sound-deadening installers complete control over how much noise is allowed to enter an interior.

Superior Quality Sound-Deadening Products that Offer Staged Noise Reduction

Car Builders’ sound-deadening products lineup consists of specially designed noise-absorbing mats and underlay combinations that are engineered specifically to replace the low-grade jute padding and bitumen-based liners that car manufacturers typically use for sound insulation. These highly adaptable mixtures of Sound Transmission Class (STC) rated automotive insulation materials make it possible to fine-tune interior noise levels, and are comprised of various thicknesses of:

·   Aluminium-backed, pressure-sensitive elastomeric butyl rubber;

·   Heavyweight (4.5kg/m²), close cell mass loaded vinyl sound barriers; and,

·   Lightweight (0.55kg/m²), open cell acoustic foam underlays.

These superior quality, twin-layered soundproof car mats and underlays are easy to cut, and conform cleanly to unusually shaped panels and surfaces. This allows them to fully cover and decouple (isolate) areas that OE car soundproofing would either be absent from or where noisy panels would come in contact with each other, including:

·   Cavities inside doors, ¼ panels, and roof pillars;     

·   Atop drivetrain tunnels and along boot walls; and,

·   Between roof skins and headliners.

With a full array of noise control products to choose from, you can count on Car Builders auto sound deadening solutions to make your vehicle’s interior a quieter, and more tranquil place to occupy. Unlike factory-installed sound insulation, you can also count on Car Builders’ solutions to perform the sound-dampening job flawlessly throughout your vehicle’s entire lifespan.

Long-Lasting Layered Insulation Materials That Won’t Let You Down  

Durability is one of the most critical attributes of any type of automotive sound-deadening material. And in a country like Australia where temperature and humidity extremes aren’t uncommon, the economically scaled OE car sound insulation materials commonly used by car manufacturers are a lot more prone to deterioration and moisture absorption than you might think.

Not only will dried-out, cracked, or crumbling OE car sound-deadening material result in even larger lapses in noise control, it can also contribute to the collection of carpet-ruining condensation, as well as rust and mould. Long-lasting, nondegradable Car Builders sound deadening insulation won’t break down, and boasts properties that are especially effective at:

·   Resisting accumulating condensation, mildew, and odours;

·   Avoiding delamination, rot, and rips like OE aluminium overlays; and,

·   Withstanding temperatures that could lead to brittleness, or a loss of adhesive properties.

In addition to reducing sound, Car Builders car insulation can even help cut thermal transfers from floorpans and firewalls, as well as through roof skins.

Configurable Sound Reduction Packages that Also Help Control Heat 

Make no mistake: regardless of whether you’re restoring a much loved old timer, or just want a quieter commute in your daily driver, you won’t find a more capable suite of automotive insulation and sound-deadening materials than what’s available from Car Builders. It’s their ability to provide both heat and sound insulation for cars, however, that makes them the perfect choice for truly tranquil, inviting interiors.

As comprehensive noise control products, Car Builders not only sells its vehicle insulation in Stage 1 & 2 sound deadener / acoustic liner packages for all sizes of cars, utes, and wagons, they also offer a full range of combinable custom configurations that include:

·   Car floor sound barrier floor matting and mass noise liners;

·   Insul-layer sound dampening insulation for roofs, doors, and walls; and,

·   Plushlays, and acoustic carpet liner underlays.

When it comes to vans, buses, or caravans, Car Builders even offers Havelock wool soundproof insulation packages. Havelock wool’s natural ability to absorb sound, insulate against hot and cold, and resist moisture and condensation makes it the 100% natural choice for automotive heat, sound, and noise insulation, but with an added core of special benefits.

·   Havelock doesn’t off-gas. Havelock wool doesn’t contain any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or harmful industrial solvents that could be off-gassed over time.

·   Havelock improves air quality. While fulfilling its primary task of automotive sound insulation, Havelock wool effectively helps filter your vehicle’s air by capturing and binding noxious exhaust, and VOC gases.

·   Havelock helps manage moisture. Havelock wool actively absorbs condensation build-ups in the air that could quickly lead to the formation of rust, mould, or fungus.

The Final Word

At the end of the day, no matter what type of vehicle you drive, a tranquil, relaxing interior where you’re able to enjoy your audio system, a quiet conversation, or just the solitude of your own thoughts doesn’t have to be a luxury feature. The fact is, any car, wagon, or van can be blissfully sound deadened, but it takes the right combination of materials to do it.

With Car Builders’ amazing range of car sound reduction materials, you can transform any noisy cabin into a centre of tranquillity that’s an absolute pleasure to ride in. They’re the brand you want to remember when it comes to quiet, comfortable interiors.
