Damping structure-borne noise
Thin body panels start to resonate and turn that into drumming. An alubutyl mat applied straight onto the panel reduces its resonance and effectively stops panel ringing – the first and most effective step.
Wrap up
the noise.
Cut drumming, rattles and road noise. Alubutyl, absorbers and sealing tapes calm the bodywork and trim panels, reduce unwanted noise and unlock the full sound potential of any speaker system.

How vehicle sound deadening works
Where the noise comes from – and what stops it
Unwanted noise and rattles reach the cabin along four different paths: structure-borne noise, airborne noise, leaks – and how carefully the work is done. Each one can be stopped, and that is exactly how the range below is sorted.
Absorbing airborne noise
Absorbers reduce airborne noise, reverberation and reflections inside the vehicle – the natural complement to alubutyl for balanced vehicle acoustics. Foam, felt and non-woven fibre do that job; the same group holds the heat shields for engine bay and exhaust.
Sealing & decoupling
Every opening in the door lets sound energy escape and costs you bass. Sealing discs, foam tapes and cable wrap close clip holes and gaps – that brings back bass precision and puts an end to trim rattle.
Working it in properly
Whether a mat still holds in five years comes down to how hard it was pressed on. Roller, crimping tool and trim set are as much part of door damping as the material itself.

Guide figures for planning. How much material is actually needed depends on the vehicle model, the body shape and how completely you decide to cover each surface.

Installation
Six steps to noticeably less road noise
Damping is not difficult, but it has rules. These six decide whether the result holds and whether you actually hear it.
Clean the surface
Wipe the body panel with isopropyl alcohol or a degreaser. Dust, oil and wax residue cost adhesion – and adhesion decides whether the mat still sits there in five years.
Cut to size, don't wrestle
Don't try to place a whole sheet at once. Cut it into manageable pieces to suit the surface; with the thicker grades that makes all the difference.
Position, then stick
Peel off the liner, lay the piece down loosely and take your time aligning it. Once alubutyl is pressed on, it will not move again.
Press it home
Work the air bubbles out with the application roller until the mat lies flat across its whole area. In corners and under looms the crimping tool takes over.
Get the dose right
60 to 70 percent coverage is enough to audibly cut panel resonance. One clean layer does it – stacking sheets adds no performance, only weight.
Let it cure
Leave it for 24 to 48 hours before the trim goes back on. That is how long the butyl adhesive needs to bond fully with the metal.
