Product Information
Full details
This Cool-It Heat Resistant Mat is designed for automotive enthusiasts and racers looking to combat excessive heat and noise in their vehicle's interior. Its primary benefit is deflecting extreme temperatures up to 2000°F, enhancing driver comfort and component longevity. A minor caveat is the need for proper installation to ensure maximum effectiveness. Key features include its highly reflective surfaces, durable silica blanketing insulation, and ease of customization.

FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this mat can withstand?
The Cool-It Heat Resistant Mat is capable of deflecting radiant heat up to 2000°F (1093°C).
Can this mat be used in the engine bay?
Yes, it is suitable for under-bonnet applications to protect components from excessive engine heat.
How do I attach the mat if I don't use the fasteners?
You can use a high-temperature resistant adhesive specifically designed for automotive applications or a strong automotive tape.
Does the mat help with engine noise?
Yes, the resin-bonded silica blanketing insulation within the mat also serves as a sound insulator, helping to reduce noise entering the cabin.
What are the dimensions of the mat?
The mat measures 24 x 48 inches.
Is the mat waterproof?
The mat is primarily designed for heat and sound insulation. While it can withstand moisture, it is not intended to be a waterproof barrier.
How should I clean the mat?
Wipe the mat with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Mat is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use high-temperature resistant adhesive or ensure push-in fasteners are securely installed.
Difficulty cutting the mat cleanly.
Use a sharp, heavy-duty utility knife or sharp scissors. Make multiple passes if necessary.
Reduced effectiveness in heat reduction.
Verify the mat is installed with the correct side facing the heat source (foil side away from source, mylar side facing protected area). Check for gaps in coverage or damaged sections.
Excessive noise reduction is not achieved.
Ensure the mat is installed flush against the surface and there are no significant gaps. Proper sealing is crucial for sound dampening.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively reduces high temperatures in the vehicle cabin.
- Contributes to a quieter driving experience by dampening noise.
- Durable construction designed for demanding automotive environments.
- Simple to cut and adapt to different shapes and spaces.
- Provides excellent protection against radiant heat sources.
Cons
- Requires careful installation for optimal performance.
- Material may be bulky for very tight spaces.
- Effectiveness against direct conductive heat is limited compared to radiant heat.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Measure and Cut: Determine the required shape and size for your application. Use a sharp utility knife or strong scissors to carefully cut the mat.
- Prepare Surface: Ensure the area where the mat will be installed is clean, dry, and free of debris.
- Installation:
- For fastening, use the provided push-in fasteners, ensuring they penetrate both the mat and the surface material.
- Alternatively, apply a high-temperature resistant adhesive (like a weather strip adhesive) or strong automotive tape to the back of the mat before pressing it firmly into place.
- The foil side should ideally face away from the primary heat source for maximum reflection. The mylar side faces towards the cabin or protected area.
Compatibility:
This mat is compatible with most car interiors and engine bay applications. It is designed to withstand high temperatures and can be used on various surfaces including metal, plastic, and carpeted areas (when used with appropriate fasteners or adhesives).
Care:
- The mat requires minimal care. If it becomes dirty, it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Regularly inspect the installation to ensure fasteners or adhesives remain secure and the mat is not damaged.
