Which heat shield is best? Stop engine heat at the source. 

Hi bortlethetortle. We often hear about customers painting our aluminium heat shields black. We advice that this will dramatically reduce the effectiveness of the heat shield as the silver aluminium reflects most radiant heat but won't do this with a black surface where it will absorb radiant heat.

Thank you for the feedback Arpus. We will do that from now on. All products in the videos can be found here www.carbuilders.com.au/ 👍

👍Is there a reason why you only want to treat externally? Have you watched our Troopy Install? (obviously different model but same strategy) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wLm11KVyq7Q.html You can use a paint to deaden the panel externally however that covers only stage 1 of the treatment (would replace the butyl mats). You then need to try and blanket out the noise, internally we use a foam or a more heavy duty treatment is the mass load vinyl.

Not special reason, just trying to get the cabin the quiet as posible. Thanks.

👍👍Give us a call on Monday if you have more specific questions

Hi Greggory. We are currently at SEMA and are looking to be in US soon. However, if you email us at sales@carbuilders.com.au with the product you are after and your shipping details we can organise a quote that includes shipping. These products aren't too heavy and can normally be shipped quite reasonably to the US. 👍Adrian

@@carbuilders1 Do you have shelf space in the USA yet in 2023? I am in the process of replacing my 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 headliner: I would like to reduce the heat transfer and sound in my truck. It has taken me 3 1/2 years to identify all points of failure where water leaks inside my truck! One mechanic in my town was willing to help repair my truck - he earned my auto service for life, I consider myself lucky because Brian is a Mechanical Wizard! This is my effort ru-vid.com/group/PLGVI8bUyFEzocJ30KmoN9S-Mu94CmPWx0

Thank you for the positive feedback Jive Bellhouse. No, you don't need to remove the engine however accessibility is the issue. The most effective heat shield is the embossed heat shield as it is spaced off the sheet metal and has air flow between it and the panel, demonstrated in this cab over ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BT7wBNL_1Qw.html If you can't fit a spaced off heat shield then you should look at the peel and stick. 😎👍

Thanks I'll check out that other video.

Hi Mick. Sounds like one we need to talk through. Give us a call 03 8777 0960 👍

Hi 33 Sosa. It does need a small gap to be most effective. By directly touching, it will create a thermal bridge. Also, at extreme temperatures it'll damage the product.

Give us a call if you need any further advice 😎👍

It will when used in conjunction with accessory (pat.pending. Warm n stiff). Simply attach hose to exhaust, plumb to rear quarter panel and attach to the special window adapter. Start vehicle and run at fast idle. Enjoy.

Hi Edward. Yes, it will stick to plastic. Just ensure you clean with wax and grease remover. 👍

Haha. I think it would act similarly if placed inside the car as both will reflect. For it to work, you would need to have it on the outside (heat facing) with an air gap.. not too practical.

@@carbuilders1 true...because the light heats the glass and the glass heats the air.

Yes... that is the point. You put it on the firewall and floor to keep heat out of the inside of your car. Also protects the paint on the hood (bonnet) of your car from the extreme heat coming from the engine. Turbo and race engines make a lot of heat...

Hi Christopher. If you have a worry about trapped water, customers use our aluminium heat tape, silcon or seam sealer etc to seal off the open edges. The heat shields themselves obviously don't rust as they are aluminium 👍

Hi E55V8. Yes, this will result in the most effective resuts. Check out a more recent video we completed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ESo2yid89bQ.html 👍

@@carbuilders1Thank you

Hi Saneesh. Yes, you can however it won't be as effective as facing the heat source. Manufactures such as Ford use these shields internally on the floor pan. You also have the chose of Insul Layer or Van Liner (www.carbuilders.com.au/van-liner) which is a thick closed cell foam which will act as a decoupling layer and slow heat transfer 👍

Hi m valentino. We might be a bit bias with our response 😉www.carbuilders.com.au/underbody/heat-shields/

Sorry for the slow reply James. What underseal is it? May the easiest way to answer you is by giving us a call 03 8777 0960 👍

Hi Chris, we use a Peel and Stick Heavy under these lids as they as generally flat 👍

It’s to stop heat from turbos etc from damaging the paint on the top

Hi Martin. We are looking to establish retailers in the UK. However, at this stage we are shipping just our lighter items to the UK, which includes the peel and stick heat shields. Shoot through an email to admin@carbuilders.com.au and we can provide a quote including shipping.

Hi Ogonna. You can find these products here www.carbuilders.com.au/underbody/heat-shields/

Hi Sheehan. Yes, go to our website www.carbuilders.com.au or please email us at sales@carbuilders.com.au with your order and address details and we can arrange a quote for you 👍

Hi Wyatt. You can find them here www.carbuilders.com.au/underbody/heat-shields/ 👍

Hi Adib. Do you mean insulate? Yes, you can insulate those areas from heat with this product. 👍

Hi Srikhanth. Yes, this will significantly reduce heat through the boot. You would stick the peel and stick heat shield on the underbody of the car, facing the exhaust. Another option which is probably even more efficient is our exhaust heat shield www.carbuilders.com.au/ehs_k 👍 If you are in Australia you can order from our website, www.carbuilders.com.au/ If you are overseas, please email sales@carbuilders.com.au with what product you are after and your shipping details and we can send you a quote for the items with delivery.

@@carbuilders1 thanks for the quick reply..

Hi Nelson. It will have some sound dampening effect with the needle punched fibreglass with a polyester core. However, there are materials/applications that will have a more effective impact on sound reduction. 👍

Which material it proper to apply on that side of the fire wall for noise reduction?

Is it engine noise that you are trying to dampen?

What vehicle are you playing with?

Hi mate. I would allow for a minimum of 10mm clearance.
