Dynamat vs. FatMat - Quale isolante acustico è migliore?

Soundproofing your car it’s a great way to enhance your acoustics and the overall sound. One of the best feelings is listening to your favorite band on the radio while driving, and the quality of the sound is very important.

There are many reasons why you might want to soundproof your car. Have you ever noticed that your music sounds great when you’re parked, but not when you’re on the road driving? Have you ever wondered if there’s a way to cut down the unwanted noise in your car?

Well, I’m happy to say that soundproofing materials play an important role in cutting down the noise coming from wind, exhaust, the whine of the engine, the hum of the tires, rattling and vibrations. If you use these materials, you’ll have the chance to listen to your favorite music without experiencing unwanted, disturbing noise.

In this article, we’ll take a look at the two of the most effective sound deadeners on the market that can make your car quiet. Dynamat and FatMat are two companies in the automotive market that brag about being the best at reducing noise inside of vehicles.

Considero Dynamat una delle migliori soluzioni quando si tratta di insonorizzare la vostra auto. Potrebbe essere un po' costoso rispetto alla maggior parte dei materiali fonoassorbenti là fuori, ma semplicemente parlando, questo insonorizzante ha la capacità di isolare la vostra auto da tutti i rumori e le vibrazioni indesiderate.

Heat won’t be a problem, either, since the aluminum-coated deadener is superb when it comes to heat resistance.

Dynamat offers multiple kits for the doors, the headliner, the trunk and the hood. If you don’t mind spending quite a bit of money, you can buy Dynamat in bulk and wrap the whole cabin. Dynamat literally provides everything you need to completely soundproof your car.

L'efficacia di Dynamat

There are several different things you should know about this amazing material. Its performance is quite stunning, as it’s pretty thick and will easily block all outside noise from entering your vehicle.

Usually, when buying a sound deadener, you’d have to buy enough material to cover as much of the surface area as possible, but installing Dynamat will insulate your car even if you just cover a small space.

Also, the butyl-based material that’s used to make Dynamat is able to stop the heat from entering your car. It’s odorless and quite effective at temperatures up to about 240 degrees Fahrenheit. As it’s thick and sturdy, you can expect a reduction in the amount of road noise by nine or even 10 dB.

Dynamat’s Installation Process

This may be a bit tricky for some people, since Dynamat is probably the most difficult sound‐deadening material to install, mostly due to its thickness. You may need to use a lot of energy and time to install it, but it’s totally worth the investment.

Before starting the installation, it’s best to have some understanding of how the installation process works. Often, it seems like the products that are most difficult to install provide better results when it comes to noise reduction.

A causa della densità del materiale, potresti avere difficoltà a tagliarlo, il che potrebbe rendere l'installazione un po' più lunga e difficile. Detto questo, penso che assumere un professionista potrebbe rendere le cose più facili, ma facendo questo si tradurrà in un po' più di investimento finanziario.

Utilizzo di Dynamat

Una cosa che mi piace molto di questo materiale è il suo utilizzo. Ci sono molti modi di usare questo prodotto, anche se il suo scopo principale è isolare le automobili.

It can be used in any place in which you want to insulate yourself from noise, whether that’s your room, your home gym, your home theater or someplace else. It doesn’t matter what you use  Dynamat for, as it will show great results across the board, so it’s up to you to decide where you want to install it. Keep in mind that the bigger the area is that you need to cover, the more money you’ll be spending.

La gamma di prezzi di Dynamat

Since it’s one of the best sound deadeners when it comes to insulation, the price is relatively high, but that doesn’t mean you have to break your wallet to get Dynamat. Also, if you don’t want to cover your entire car, it’s best to just cover the most important areas. It cost $5 to $6 per square foot, so think wisely about where you should install it.

Pro

  • Estremamente efficace
  • Doesn’t leave any odor behind
  • Molto popolare tra gli utenti
  • A base di butile
  • In grado di dimezzare la quantità di rumore
  • Caratteristiche resistenti al calore

Contro

  • Un po' caro
  • Il processo di installazione è un po' difficile

FatMat isolante del suono

FatMat is known as as one of Dynamat’s biggest opponents. The material comes with a 50‐mil thickness, so you’ll find this deadener to be a worthy investment. When it comes to the design and its material, it’s quite different from Dynamat. Simply speaking, FatMat is thinner and has an asphalt-based structure.

FatMat’s sound control team members are experts at creating and producing sound‐dampening products. Their sound deadener is aimed at eliminating those irritating sounds that are regularly heard in many vehicles, such as rattling, vibrations and even general road noise itself.

Un aspetto negativo è il suo processo di installazione: I principianti dovranno impegnarsi molto e leggere il manuale di istruzioni per portare a termine il lavoro.

L'efficacia di FatMat

When it comes to its effectiveness and quality, FatMat is considered to be one of the best deadeners to install in your car. Since it’s asphalt-based, though, it’s not recommended for high-temperature situations. So if you’re living in a hot climate like those found in Florida or Texas, FatMat isn’t the way to go.

This is the main reason why people use FatMat in cooler environments. Also, because of its thinner material, you can expect the installation to be a bit easier in comparison to Dynamat, but it doesn’t offer noise reduction that’s as good as Dynamat’s.

Come potete vedere, entrambi i prodotti hanno i loro vantaggi e svantaggi, ma in termini di prestazioni e qualità, Dynamat è semplicemente migliore e offre più valore per il prezzo.

FatMat’s Installation Process

Even though I mentioned earlier that the installation is a bit easier in comparison to Dynamat, you may still find it a bit hard to install. Because its asphalt-based, you’ll need to set the right heating temperature before you carry out the installation process.

Also, pay close attention to material that might seep out when you apply it. Try your best not to let the material stick or fuse onto itself, as you simply won’t be able to separate those pieces at all.

Usare FatMat

Come con Dynamat, è possibile utilizzare questo materiale per un sacco di progetti diversi. FatMat è usato soprattutto su porte, pannelli e pavimenti per abbassare significativamente il rumore della strada. Oltre a questo, ci sono numerosi modi di usare FatMat e tutti sono legati alla cancellazione del rumore.

La fascia di prezzo di FatMat

Il prezzo è relativamente economico rispetto a Dynamat, ma il prodotto offre ancora un alto valore. Se il vostro obiettivo è quello di coprire la maggior superficie possibile, è qui che FatMat diventa costoso. Tutto sommato, però, Dynamat è il più costoso, in quanto appartiene alla classe premium. Quindi, se il vostro budget è la vostra principale preoccupazione, dovreste probabilmente scegliere FatMat.

Pro

  • Adesivo superaderente
  • Carta di distacco easy-peel
  • Assorbe il rumore e le vibrazioni, offrendo una notevole riduzione del suono
  • Prezzo accessibile

Contro

  • Asphalt base isn’t good in heat
  • Once in place, it’s hard to remove
  • Forte odore che può durare da qualche giorno a qualche settimana
  • Un po' difficile da installare

Dynamat vs. FatMat – The Final Verdict

A mio parere, penso che sia Dynamat che FatMat siano ottimi insonorizzatori. Dynamat è un po' meglio quando si tratta di qualità ed efficacia, ma FatMat ha le sue caratteristiche uniche.

It all comes down to your preferences and what’s most important to you while you’re soundproofing your car. If you’re on a budget and are also looking for an easier installation process, you might want to go with FatMat.

Tuttavia, quando si tratta di materiale fonoassorbente, personalmente preferisco Dynamat.
