About Second Skin

Second Skin was built with one goal in mind; provide the best car sound deadening products in the world, without exception, without compromise and without fear of the competition.

Whether you are restoring a classic muscle car, building a car audio system monster, or trying to give yourself a bit of silent luxury on your daily commute, we have a product or combination of products that will help you achieve your automotive sound dampening and thermal insulation goals while saving money and save time. Look around our site, educate yourself on the various sound damping products and make the choice that is right for you. Our products will only compliment your daily car experience, from your car sound system sounding better and having less road noise to compete with to a cooler ride with our thermal insulation products.

Second Skin offers products that will offer you everything from soundproofing to a sound barrier for your car audio system or even other applications such as on a pool pump enclosure. These materials are also referred to as sound absoption material as well as acoustic material. They all provide you with the same thing whatever you call it though, car sound reduction or rather - car noise reduction. You might have heard of our competitors, if we can call them that. B Quiet, Raamat, Dynamat, BodyLine, T-Mat, Road Kill, Accumat, eDead - the list goes on forever - but do you know many of these names are just relabelled home insulation materials and arent designed from the ground up as a proper sound deadening material for cars to bring your car audio system to life?

We're soundproofing South Africa over here at Second Skin, one car at a time! Our DIY soundproofing solutions cover everything, from sound proof doors to roofs, floors, boots and firewall's. You can choose to purchase our DIY soundproofing products or have them installed at one of our reputable car audio installation houses. Don't think our products are limited to car noise reduction, we have clients using this all over the show - on boats and even computers / PC's. Computer sound dampening relies on the same principles, stop the vibrations from pc case (usually from your fan's) and you stop a lot of the noise in your computer.

Cheap sound dampening is hard to come by, but with our bulk imports we are in a unique position to offer great "sound barrier" products. Our sound dampening products have only gotten cheaper with each shipment we bring in. Whether sound dampening fabric, foam, spray paint or tools - we have all the sound dampening products for all your panels, boards and other car noise reduction needs.

We are confident that eventually, everyone comes back to us. Over built to over perform - because user error, bad batch, and faulty install are excuses that other companies use!

So I want this Car Noise Reduction stuff, what do I need?

So you've decided you want some auto sound dampening products - but dont know where to begin to get your car noise levels down. Well here's a little guide to get you started on your car noise reduction project:

"First and foremost – you want Damplifier Pro. The first step in any auto sound dampening project is using a Constraint Layer Vibration Damper - CLD.  Apply one of our foil backed CLD car sound deadening mats to automotive sheet metal to destroy resonance that leads to unwanted road, engine and exhaust noise.  Per square foot our Damplifier mats give you more car sound deadening material for your dollar than any other auto insulation company out there. When it comes to constraint layer damping mats, nothing compares! Damplifier Pro's primary function is for a quieter ride since it stops the resonance – however, it does also have very good thermal insulation properties.

After Damping the automotive vibrations and cars structure borne noise with our Damplifier Pro CLD sound deadener mats, you can move on to the next problem; airborne noise - the next monster on getting your car sound proof (or as close to it as possible!). Our Luxury Liner Pro series MLV noise barriers block out the noise that automotive vibration damping mats are unable to handle. If you're looking to achieve luxury car silence and automotive acoustic comfort, apply a layer of our Luxury Liner Pro MLV noise barrier mats on top of your Damplifier Pro CLD vibration damper to create tomb like silence. Think of LLP as a sound barrier or sound dampening blanket.
Lastly, if you have the budget for it, you may wish to look at your Thermal Insulation. Apply Thermal Block on the engine side of the firewall, or under the car, above the exhaust for the ultimate in pre-cabin heat treatment. For best acoustical results using this product, first apply a layer of our Damplifier Pro vibration mat or Spectrum / Spectrum Sludge, on the engine side of the firewall, and then apply this thermal insulation product on top of it to keep the heat out.
Also, if vibrations and resonance are a problem in your car, also remember that applying a second layer of Damplifier Pro on top of your first layer almost triples the benefits! Also, you can use Spectrum and Spectrum Sludge for those hard to reach area's where a sheet wouldn't work as well such as wheel wells and the floor pan. Spectrum/Sludge is like Damplifier Pro as it dampens vibrations.

I always tell my clients that they shouldn't be afraid of buying too much Damplifier Pro as they can always apply a second layer (or even a third layer) on the focus problem areas (doors and then floor, also boot if you have a powerful subwoofer) should they have a few sheets left over."
