FLEX 13 - a mat that reduces and isolates road noise

FLEX 13 - self-adhesive thermo-acoustic mat 13 mm FLEX 13 This thick, lightweight, and self-adhesive thermo-acoustic mat is made from foamed rubber. The material has a structure of closed cells of varying sizes, effectively reducing noise transmission and improving the thermal insulation of the vehicle interior. The FLEX 13 mat works best as a second layer of soundproofing, mounted on a previously bonded aluminum-butyl mat. The butyl mat dampens vibrations and resonances of the sheet metal, while the FLEX 13 rubber foam insulates the cabin from road noise, wheel noise, engine noise, and temperature changes. The thicker FLEX 13 acoustic and thermal insulation is 13 mm thick, making it suitable for applications where more space is available and a stronger insulating layer is needed. The material helps reduce excessive cabin heating in summer and interior cooling in winter. Thanks to its waterproof and oil-resistant properties, the mat can be used on many body parts. It works well under car carpets, on the floor, roof, wheel arches, in door compartments and in the trunk. The most important advantages of FLEX 13

• 13 mm thick thermo-acoustic mat,
• self-adhesive layer for easy installation,
• foamed synthetic rubber with closed cells,
• effective acoustic insulation of the car interior,
• additional thermal insulation of the cabin,
• waterproof and oil-resistant material,
• does not absorb moisture,
• non-toxic and odorless product,
• can be mounted on most metal body parts,
• sale per sheet 100 x 100 cm, i.e. 1 m².

In-car applications: The FLEX 13 mat can be used in areas requiring stronger noise and temperature insulation. For best results, install it on a surface previously soundproofed with an aluminum-butyl mat. This material is recommended for soundproofing and insulating components such as:

• door chambers,
• car roof,
• floor,
• wheel arches,
• trunk side panels,
• engine compartment bulkhead wall,
• surfaces under car carpets,
• metal body parts hidden behind the upholstery.

How to install the FLEX 13 mat? Before installation, the surface should be dry, clean, and thoroughly degreased. The mat should be adhered to metal body parts with a flat or slightly embossed surface. It's best to use it as a second layer over a previously installed and degreased aluminum-butyl mat. The material is soft and flexible, so it easily adapts to many surfaces. Due to its 13 mm thickness, it's worth checking the amount of free space under the carpet or behind the upholstery beforehand. Avoid sharp bends, sharp embossments, and rough surfaces. This product is not recommended for soundproofing door panels or similar plastic upholstery elements. Material Construction: FLEX 13 is made of foamed synthetic rubber. The closed-cell structure limits moisture absorption and improves insulation. This makes the mat suitable for areas exposed to road noise, temperature changes, and moisture. The material can be used in automotive applications and indoors. It does not emit unpleasant odors and does not decompose under the influence of atmospheric conditions. Technical data

Why choose FLEX 13? FLEX 13 is a good choice for those looking to improve driving comfort and require a thicker layer of insulation. The mat reduces road noise, improves interior thermal protection, and repels moisture. Combined with an aluminum-butyl mat, it creates an effective vehicle soundproofing system. The first layer dampens sheet metal vibrations, while FLEX 13 insulates noise and temperature. It's a practical solution for floors, roofs, wheel arches, doors, trunks, and bulkheads.
