Product Information
Full details
The Design Engineering Boom Mat is for automotive enthusiasts and DIYers seeking to reduce unwanted noise and vibrations within their vehicles. Its key benefit is creating a quieter, more comfortable cabin by eliminating squeaks, rattles, and road/engine noise. A potential caveat is that it requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of each Boom Mat sheet?
Each sheet measures approximately 12.5 inches by 11.5 inches (318mm x 292mm).
Can Boom Mat be used on the exterior of a vehicle?
Boom Mat is designed primarily for interior applications to reduce cabin noise and vibrations. Its effectiveness and durability on exterior surfaces exposed to the elements have not been tested.
Is Boom Mat waterproof?
The material itself is resistant to moisture and corrosion, but it is not designed to be a waterproof barrier. Ensure that the underlying surface is not prone to water leaks.
How many sheets are included in a pack?
This product is specified as a Pack Of 2.
Can Boom Mat be painted over?
The aluminum foil laminate facing is generally not designed to be painted over. For aesthetic purposes, it is best applied where it will not be visible or can be covered by trim panels.
What is the temperature range for application?
The strong adhesive backing is unaffected by extreme hot and cold temperatures, allowing for application in a wide range of conditions.
Is there a spray-on alternative for difficult areas?
Yes, Design Engineering offers a spray-on foam that dries to the touch in approximately 20 minutes, which can be useful for hard-to-reach places.
Troubleshooting
Boom Mat not adhering properly
Ensure the application surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from any contaminants like oil or dust. Re-clean the surface and reapply, pressing firmly to ensure complete contact.
Squeaks or rattles persist after application
The source of the noise may require additional damping material or a different placement. Check for other loose panels or components. For persistent low-frequency noise, consider adding another layer of Boom Mat.
Material is difficult to cut
Use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. Score the material first if needed. Ensure a stable, flat surface for cutting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces interior noise and vibrations.
- Versatile application on various surfaces and orientations.
- Acts as both a sound and thermal insulator.
- Durable and corrosion-resistant construction.
- Easy to cut and customize for specific needs.
Cons
- Requires thorough surface cleaning and preparation for best adhesion.
- Adhesive strength may be compromised on excessively dirty or oily surfaces.
- May require multiple layers for very high noise reduction needs.
- The spray-on foam alternative might be more convenient for some tight spaces.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface area is clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, or dust. For optimal adhesion, lightly scuffing painted surfaces can be beneficial. Cut the Boom Mat to the desired size and shape using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Peel off the adhesive backing and carefully apply the mat, pressing firmly to ensure full contact. Ensure there are no air bubbles trapped between the mat and the surface.
Compatibility: The Boom Mat's strong adhesive backing adheres well to most automotive surfaces, including painted metal, raw metal, plastic, and fiberglass. It is unaffected by extreme temperatures and is corrosion resistant.
Care: Once applied, the Boom Mat requires minimal care. Regular cleaning of the vehicle's interior surfaces is sufficient. Avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the adhesive or matting material.
