Overview
Design Engineering 050113 Under Carpet Lite 70 x 72 Sound Absorption and Insulation 35 sq ft uses a 1/2 inch multi-layer polyester composite. It supports sound absorption and thermal insulation beneath automotive carpet and interior trim.
The material is designed to provide sound deadening and insulation support inside vehicle interiors. Also, its lightweight padding serves as a superior noise barrier for automotive applications. It provides less heat transfer in summer and protects against cold-air transfer in winter.
This under-carpet sound absorption material is intended for universal-fit automotive interior applications. In addition, the flexible construction supports trimming and placement around floor pans and interior contours.
Key takeaways
- The sheet measures 70 x 72 inches and covers 35 square feet.
- The 1/2 inch composite uses polyester and a water proof multi-layer construction.
- The material supports sound deadening, sound absorption, noise control, and thermal insulation.
- The flexible sheet can be cut to size for placement beneath carpet and interior trim.
- The universal-fit material may be used over Boom Mat within a layered sound damping system.
- Exposure should remain below 140°F or 60°C and away from open flames.
What the product is designed to do
This material is designed for placement beneath carpet and other interior trim areas. Also, it provides padding, sound deadening, and insulation support within automotive interiors.
The acoustic function centers on sound absorption and noise control beneath interior flooring. In addition, the material serves as a superior noise barrier in automotive applications.
Thermal performance includes maximum thermal insulation in lightweight padding. As a result, the material supports less summer heat transfer and protection against winter cold-air transfer.
The automotive sound deadening underlayment also supports use over Boom Mat. This placement forms part of a layered sound damping approach beneath carpet.

Installation and placement notes
The sheet is designed for installation beneath carpet and other interior trim. Next, installers can trim the material to size with cutting tools.
Its flexibility helps the sheet fold into place and conform to bends. Also, review patterns commonly cover placement across floor pans and shaped interior contours.
The material may sit over other sound damping materials. In addition, it is identified as perfect for use over Boom Mat.
Keep the composite away from high heat sources and open flames. However, exposure must not exceed 140°F or 60°C.
This 35 square foot insulation sheet uses a universal-fit format. Cutting and fitting remain part of the installation process.
Performance characteristics described
The material supports sound deadening, sound absorption, and noise control beneath automotive carpet. Also, it functions as thermal insulation within vehicle interiors.
The lightweight padding is positioned as a superior noise barrier. In addition, repeated buyer feedback covers reduced road noise after under-carpet installation.
Thermal characteristics include less heat transfer during summer conditions. Also, the insulation protects against cold-air transfer during winter conditions.
The multi-layer automotive insulation material supports combined acoustic and thermal use. Its intended role remains beneath carpet and other interior trim areas.
Review patterns buyers commonly mention
Buyers commonly mention easy cutting and handling during installation. Also, repeated feedback covers folding the material into place and conforming it to bends.
Review patterns include placement across floor pans and other interior contours. In addition, buyers reference installation beneath carpet and over other sound damping materials.
Sound-related feedback focuses on sound insulation, sound absorption, and reduced road noise. Heat-related feedback focuses on reducing heat entering the vehicle cabin.
