Reduce noise

The acoustic mat system has been designed to drastically reduce noise entering the cabin of your Land Rover. The matting package is made up of three separate pieces. One piece covers the transmission tunnel and the footwells while another piece replaces the factory fit vinyl seat box mat that is/was extremely prone to wear. Puma Defender models were the worse for this as Land Rover saved money by using a cheaper and less durable matting material than previous model Defenders resulting in their distinctive threadbare appearance. A third piece wraps around the base of the bulkhead to encapsulate the side of the footwells. 

Hard wearing and durable

All of the matting sections are made from the same cast dense polyurethane built to industrial standards for reducing noise levels often found in construction equipment. Unlike the factory matting that would It provides a hard wearing, durable surface that can withstand constant daily use and is easy to clean. A custom fit mat drastically reduces noise entering the cabin and panel reverberation.

Witness Marks

The Acoustic Seat Box matting has witness marks on its under side corresponding to all the features of the seat box. It will need to be cut (seat mountings, handbrake etc) to your individual requirements using a HD craft knife.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the matting fit the 2.2 Puma?

The matting is designed to fit the Defender with the 2.4 Puma Engine. This is because the catalytic converter location on the 2.2 creates an extra lump in transmission tunnel that the 2.4 doesn't have. It is possible to cut a chunk of the matting to allow fitment although this is not something we can advise on. Work is underway on a 2.2 version.

What about the trapped water?

Anything you put on the floor will trap water/condensation, even the new mats supplied by Land Rover. As the acoustic mat system is a hard wearing secondary surface you now have the ability to rustproof the inner surfaces of the floor. You will find that it is only a small amount of water and does dry out.

What does the foam do?

There is closed cell foam in the area of the footwells and floor panels. It is there to take some weight out of the mat and provide more comfort under foot. The foam has very little acoustic properties.

Frequently Asked Questions continued

How heavy is the system?

Approximately 25 kilos of dense polyurethane which is the barrier to noise. This is equivalent to having a spare wheel and tire spread over the floor and seat box area. This is why it is so effective.

How effective is the mat system?

It would be impossible to quote the reduction in decibels as each application would be different. In testing we used a SWB 2A with a NA 2.5 Freight Rover diesel engine. The owner can now have a sensible conversation at full speed!

What if I want to get to the gearbox?

Removal is the reversal of fitting. It takes about 5-10 minutes to remove. You shouldn't ever need to remove the seat box mat or bulkhead mat, unless you wish to transfer them to a different vehicle.

What if my mats are distorted?

In most cases, over time it will return to its cast shape. Try to warm it to speed this up.
