Product Information

Full details

The Design Engineering Heat Screen Gold Matting is designed for automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics who need to shield critical vehicle components from extreme engine heat. By utilizing a high-temperature polyimide laminate bonded to a glass fiber base, this matting excels at protecting firewalls, intake systems, and tunnels from radiant thermal damage; however, it requires careful cutting and secure mechanical or adhesive fastening to ensure long-term durability in high-vibration areas.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this matting be used directly on the exhaust pipe?

No, this material is designed for heat shielding surfaces from radiant heat, not for direct contact with extremely hot exhaust components.

What is the maximum temperature rating?

The Heat Screen Gold can handle radiant heat temperatures up to 420 degrees Celsius (approx. 788 degrees Fahrenheit).

Is the gold finish just for looks?

No, the gold-colored polyimide laminate is specifically engineered for its high heat-reflectivity properties.

Can I install this on the interior of my car?

Yes, it is excellent for use on floorboards or firewalls to reduce heat transfer from the drivetrain into the cabin.

Does the matting block noise?

While its primary function is thermal insulation, the glass fiber base provides a minor amount of acoustic dampening.

Troubleshooting

Matting is peeling at the edges

Ensure the substrate was completely degreased before application. If using adhesive, apply a high-temperature contact cement and reinforce corners with mechanical fasteners like rivets.

Difficulty cutting clean lines

Use high-quality industrial shears or a new utility blade with a metal straight edge to prevent fraying of the glass fiber base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly lowers surface temperatures by up to 36%
  • Extremely thin .031-inch profile fits in tight engine bays
  • Handles extreme heat exposure up to 420 degrees C
  • Highly versatile installation options including rivets or adhesives

Cons

  • Requires manual trimming to fit custom shapes
  • Installation requires purchasing secondary mounting materials like high-temp adhesive
  • Not intended for direct contact with active exhaust flames

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a clean, grease-free surface for maximum adhesion. You can secure the matting using high-temperature-rated spray adhesives, stainless steel screws, or aluminum rivets. Always overlap seams if covering large areas to prevent heat leakage. When cleaning the installed mat, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water; avoid using abrasive brushes or harsh chemical degreasers that may damage the gold-colored polyimide finish. Regularly inspect the edges of the matting after heavy track use to ensure the fasteners are still tight and the edges remain sealed.
