I need to deaden the noise a bit on the estate as its like driving a van. I only have the carpets directly on to the floor. Sound deadening sheets on ebay are expensive. Can anyone suggest what else I could use. _________________ The Clan Chieftain |

Seems like the British Govornment decision from 1974 is catching up  _________________ http://www.eurods.eu/wp/index.html |

To dampen panels use Corothem butyl flash banding. B&Q used to stock it, I'm not sure if they still do. It's not necessary to cover the whole panel, about 50% should do the job. It's very good for doors, boot sides and lids etc.
Butyl is reckoned to be better than bitumen based as it doesn't smell of tar so much in hot weather and doesn't soften and slide down vertical panels e.g. inside doors - that's what I'm told, I haven't tried the two side by side. |
