What are boat insulation products and marine insulation materials? 

Marine insulation materials and boat insulation products are ever increasingly used on new boat builds to promote a temperature stable environment and provide a quiet boating experience. 
When researching marine insulation materials and boat insulation products it is optimal to understand the key differences between boat soundproofing materials and marine thermal insulation. 

Boat soundproofing materials

Boat soundproofing materials come in varying thicknesses and densities.  However usually the thinner and denser boat soundproofing products provide ease of fitment and acoustic performance which is both noticable and long lasting.  These types of boat soundproofing materials come in various sheet sizes and can have self adhesive backing.  Boat soundproofing products such as DeciLAM provide 27db sound reduction and at only 3mm thickness it is easy to fit to any boat soundproofing application such as the engine bay, under floor or between decks and in the wall system. 



Marine thermal insulation products

Marine thermal insulation products offer warmth on cold days and a reduction in heating on warmer days.  Marine thermal insulation products also offer a reduction in condensation in most cases.  Marine thermal insulation products are usually lighterweight and thicker to ensure maximum thermal effectiveness.  Using a lightweight marine thermal insulation product will reduce thermal conductivity through boat panels and improve the temperature stability of your vessel.  When researching marine thermal insulation products we recommend you research the marine insulation products properties to ensure ease of fitment and future removal.  For example a compressible marine insulation product will help to ensure that the whole air cavity is filled maximising reduction in condensation.  A hydrophobic marine insulation product will not absorb water and offer you further peace of mind.  Which product can offer these types of properties?

Where can I fit marine thermal insulation materials and boat soundproofing products? 

Marine thermal insulation materials are usually fitted after the fitment of boat soundproofing products.  The boat sound deadening or soundproofing product would usually be applied first to add mass especially metal panels, thus reducing vibration and sound transmission. 
For this boat soundproofing job we offer ButylMAT which is a 3Kg per m2 mass butyl layer with an aluminium outer face and a UV stable barrier making the soundproofing suitable for exterior applications. 



What about acoustic and thermal laminate boat soundproofing products? 

We also offer laminate acoustic and thermal boat soundproofing materials which encompass both an acoustic mass deadening layer followed by a thermal insulation blanket.  This can be fitted both in the engine bay and directly to marine panels.
