Hawklord Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hi I am looking at buying either rubber or EVA foam stable matting to put under the rubber floor mats as additional sound insulation as they are quite cheap to buy. The EVA foam ones look to be a better insulator but will they absorb water being a foam ?. I have just fitted Dynamat to the floor panels and just looking for another cheap layer to put down over it. Has anyone fitted stable matting to the front floor of a Defender 90 who can offer some opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I use a couple of those jigsaw mats cut to shape, they're a light foam but its closed cell, they dont soak up water. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Interlocking-Jigsaw-Mats-Playground-Exercise/dp/B07CQKK8V9 On the underside of the panel too i stick the bitumen type sound attenuation stuff. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F291532252068 Seems to help.

landroversforever Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 IMO you can’t do better than the Wright Off-road fitted matting. Makes a huge difference to the noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Now I've heard to the contrary regarding the Wright off road matting. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocklandjohn Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Any closed cell foam is ideal. If you can't locate any get some cheap camping mat and cut and fit. Works just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkie Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Put this stuff down before you do. It makes the biggest difference on the inside of door skins and seat box in my experience. I also plan to line my roof and body sides with the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
