> 24 hourCovered a truck floor and back wall. Went on easy and made a noticeable difference in interior noise when knocking on panels. Project isnt drivable yet, so I cant comment on driving noise. Happy so far

> 24 hourFor those looking for a good low-cost alternative to Dynamat, this is acceptable. I used both Dynamat and Kilmat on the same build. The Dynamat product was the Dynamat Xtreme. In contrast, the aluminum on the Kilmat is thinner and the butyl material smells A LOT like roofing felt... like EXACTLY like roofing felt -- definitely a bituminous odor. It is not overwhelming. I could only smell it with from about 2 away at normal temperatures By comparison the Dynamat Xtreme has ZERO odor. Nothing. The good thing about the Kilmat is that it sticks very quickly (used a heat gun to promote adhesion due to cooler outdoor temps but really did not need to) and the embossed aluminum makes it simple cut straight with one mark. Also, the packaging says it is made in the Russian Federation... so, those folks have a lot of experience silencing things so this will likely work very well. I just hope its not made out of Chernobyl chunks else my build will put a new meaning on the term radioactive.

> 24 hour1993 gmc yukon 2 door interior refresh project. 2 boxes of this product will get you the roof, side panels and 90% of the passenger cabin. Kilmat estimates 130 sqft for this project so they are pretty close. Ill buy another box to finish, then cover it with Noico 315mm closed cell foam sheets. This will be so much quieter and warmer in the Montana winters! Pointers: scrub the surfaces then go over with an alcohol rag then a tack cloth. Make sure its really clean. After laying down a sheet use a roller to really smash this stuff into the seams. No really, go over it again until all the little squares have been smoothed out. If you want, mommas rolling pin will work for the big areas. Next I suggest laying closed cell foam over the top. This will increase the sound deadening and help keep your car comfortable.

> 24 hourIve installed in my 87 s10 blazer, made a huge difference from what It had before. Took the vibrations out and did quite down a bit. Which is why i also installed in my 82 c10, I installed with a closed cell foam and i feel this combination worked the best . for a truck with a blown 383 3inch straight thru turn down exhaust set up , it made a big difference. Just recently did half my new silverado , definitely a must if youre doing any audio. Plan on installing closed cell foam also. Also sticks well so far, after you roll it I dont expect it to come back off easily.

> 24 hourDecided to go with 50 mil Kilmat roll after doing extensive research and cost comparisons with other well known brands. It was a no brainer on paper. Pros: - Super easy to work with and extremely pliable. Can easily be cut with household scissors. - Does not have super sharp foil edges and can be applied with bare hands - Very well packaged and comes in 50 pre-cut rectangle sheets, which is much easier to manage than a giant roll - ZERO SCENT/VAPORS - Decent adhesiveness when applied to a clean surface prepped with isopropyl alcohol Cons: - Stuff is a bit thin. However, you get plenty of product so I applied double layers to all panels for essentially 100 mil thickness. I noticed a rather noticeable difference in tone when I knocked on the panels with a single layer vs. double layer Probably worth your efforts to double up the first time. - the square pattern application guides on the foil were a little bit difficult to press down fully with a regular roller. So I went over them as best I could with a roller, then used the back of the handle of a large flathead screwdriver which really flattened them out and gave me peace of mind Did 2 layers on both the inner and outer skin of the front doors of my coupe and still have over half of the product leftover. Stuff is really good and made a noticeable difference in my vehicle with just the doors done. Have not even touched the trunk yet. Rattles were cut down substantially and I can hear much more defined and fuller bass notes from my mids and subs. The front stage just feels a lot tighter and envelops the cabin. Tip: you do NOT need 100 percent application with these sound deadning tiles. 60-65% coverage on a panel is all you need. More than that and you are just wasting product and adding unnecessary weight. Would definitely purchase again.

> 24 hourI completely covered the floor and cargo area of my c5 corvette. It cuts way down on road noise a fiberglass car will produce. Virtually eliminated rattles and vibration. Greatly reduced the amount of heat from the torque tube in drivers compartment. Definitely improved the sound of the Bose system especially the sub

> 24 hourGirlfriend and are I doing a mild camper build in our 06 E350. Were not going to really be living in it and most trips will just be 1-3 day ventures or for concerts. I also have everything easily removable so I can still use it to haul stuff. With all that I couldnt really be bothered for the 80mil for the large price difference. This does a great job. Its also incredibly easy to work with to cut around corners. We also used it to go over holes in the sheet metal on the sides after we packed them with insulation. The floor in the van has the kilmat down first then furring strips to balance the ribs with the foam board insulation then the plywood base to vinyl. With so much else going on top - the 50mil is the perfect thickness in my opinion for a van floor if thats your purpose with it. If you have the extra money and are super concerned with outside noise then Im sure the 80mil is just as nice to work with.

> 24 hourThis is a lot of material and it goes a long way. I did the back wall of my truck and have at least 35 sheets left. I may add more elsewhere. It cuts super easy with scissors or a razor knife and molds into place. I got the roller tool which was great for flat areas and found a screwdriver handle worked great for smaller, hard to reach areas.
