Thermal and acoustic insulation is of great importance in special vehicles. Even in standard passenger cars, great importance is attached to high-quality insulation and absorbers, as it simply contributes to comfort. When engine and road noise is reduced, drivers can concentrate better on the road. Older vehicles in particular are susceptible to high noise levels because the design is not fully developed. As a result, the vibrations from the engine and the movement of the vehicle are transmitted to the sheet metal structures of the bodywork, causing them to vibrate. Due to a lack of insulation, these vibrations travel through the vehicle and become noticeable as a loud roar.
Thermal and acoustic insulation counteracts this noise level in special vehicle construction as well as in private use. This is important, as a constant noise level above 85 decibels increases stress and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Think of an ambulance, for example, whose siren should be audible all around, but at the same time must not disturb the rescue personnel or the patients. Many insulation systems can be retrofitted to vehicles. For example, special sound absorbers installed directly in the driver's cab help with sound insulation in special vehicle construction.
If the engines generate (too) much heat, high-quality thermal insulation is also very important in special vehicle construction. For example, you can use heat shields that are designed for different temperature ranges and are fitted directly in the engine compartment. You can even combine sound and heat insulation in vehicle construction with special cladding. These are also installed in the engine compartment to ensure an optimum mix of safety and quiet. In special vehicle construction for the military, these solutions can literally save lives. Please contact us directly if you would like to equip your vehicle fleet with insulation.
