So ive installed a ton of sound deadening in my 912e rebuild.
Dodo mat vs silent coat.
From what ive read sound proofing using mass loaded vinyl is the next stage.
Thermo fleece offers a safe sustainable and cost effective way to insulate your camper van.
For those who have used silent coat have you applied to the engine bay side of the bulkhead and how has it held up on.
It contains 100 recycled polyester and is made almost entirely from recycled plastic bottles.

With the silent coat you just peel off the backing heat up the back stick it on then roller it down.
Mlv sounds like pretty heavy and bulky stuff as the name suggests i gu.
We do a quick side by side comparison of dynamat xtreme and silent coat 2mm regular sound deadening cld mats vs bare sheet metal.

I use and sell both products the silent coat and the dodo mat both are great products and very easy to use the thinner aluminium layer makes the dodo easier to contour into complex shapes but the silent coat adds more mass to the panel.
Is this worth doing or is carpet over sound deadening good enough.
Really easy to apply just takes ages to do the entire car.
Thermo fleece by dodo mat is an itch free sustainable insulation quilt manufactured from recycled plastic bottles.
So going with weight as the key indicator of effectiveness it would appear silentcoat would be the winner.
Dodo mat hex is not the heavier option quite the opposite.
They both offer similar quality construction however dodo hex is 1 5mm as opposed to silent coat at 2mm and dodo also has a slightly lighter grade of aluminium constraining layer.
Silent coat damping mat is a polymeric based damping material with a supercharged adhesive.
Looking at the specs silentcoat 2mm comes in at 3kg m2 while fatmat 1 3mm comes in at 1 3kg m2.
