Sound deadening

Post by dcworm57 »

Ok so sound deadening, the van has complete interior out atm , door cards off etc . I’ve got a complete Westfalia interior to go in .
so while it’s stripped back this far I thought it would be worthwhile to sound deaden and insulate cab doors , floor ,cab ceiling ,main floor all panels etc …Looking at what options to use I’m favouring the dodomat gear. 
Has anyone used this, is it any good , is there a better product .  Does it make much of a difference, is it even worth doing .


cheers Dave

One of the best upgrades to do and well worth it.

I used foil backed closed cell foam.

Then stuck a layer of loft insulation on top. The plastic recycled one from b and q.

For heat and noise the change is massive.

I've used the Dodomat Deadn Duo on the ceiling in the rear and then under the floor (in strips). Been happy with it so far. Plan is to do the cab doors, sliding door and offisde wall once I've finished the next round of welding.

Not sure if it'll be suitable for the cab floor under the rubber mat (worried it'll be too think and that the mat will just chew it up) so may try the hex stuff there.

for cheaper way to add weight to panels to reduce resonance, try flashband

I used this stuff in the Sprinter, no need to wallpaper it just a pad or two per panel, makes a big difference.
I'll use it in the syncro too.
