America Mat is perhaps one of the most versatile soundproofing products on the market today. It is basically a closed cell vinyl nitrile foam that is used to soundproof automobiles, trucks, motor homes, campers, generators, air conditioning compressors and a host of other soundproofing applications.
America Mat is used to quiet noisy serve units in computer/server rooms, it has the power to both block and absorb sounds. It is also very effective at stopping vibration that comes from heavy machinery that is transmitted into the machine housing and out onto the shop floor or office spaces. America mat is extremely flame retardant and is a class A building materials. It is used in small aircraft and meets all FAR requirements set forth by the FAA.
America mat is also used in glass grinding machinery to keep the noise to a minimum as the glass fragments pound against the inside of the glass bin. It is also used as the plenum (center soundproofing agent) in a plenum soundproof fence. Along with mass loaded vinyl, America mat both blocks and absorbs noise and is resistant to UV rays so it is the perfect material for outdoors use.
America mat is also used extensively to quell the noise of loud swimming pool motors and pumps as well as helping to silence a noisy air conditioning compressor that is perhaps on it’s last leg.
Lately many of my customers have been using the 1” America mat to line the inside of the engine “doghouse” in their motor homes. The America mat is impervious to oils and fuel and the campers who have installed this in there motor homes have been thrilled with the results. I had one customer tell me it was the first time he could hear his wife while driving the motor home. I am not really sure if he was happy about that, but the reality is simply this, America mat works to stop both engine noise and vibration in today’s homes on wheels.
The list of uses for America mat closed cell foam is endless, please call us and let us know how America mat has helped quiet your life. By simply gluing up a piece of 1” America mat to the underside of the hood in my care, I was actually able to reduce the sound of the engine by 20 dB points.
