Heat Control - jute or closed cell foam like volara

[rohrt]

I have spent the last few days of my spare time looking at the different options to keeping my 64 tempest floors cool. There was nothing under the carpet so what ever I do will be an improvement. The carpet has the jute tied to portions off it but it really does a poor job of keeping the heat out after a driving a while. I usally have the top down and its not noticeable. However with the top up the cabin really heats up.

I think have looked at every product out there. I have damplifier pro in my 68 bird and that too has a heat that comes through the floor after driving a while. In the case of my 64 I don't want to use a butyl product. My floors are not in the best shape and in the event I change the pans out in the future I don't want the work of trying to get that stuff off. The frustrating part is trying to figure out how to compare product performance and determin what is in them.

The EZ cool (Low E) stuff looks pretty good.
Thermo Tech has some nice stuff too.
Boom mat - I havent figured out what its made off?
Heat wave pro looks like just CCF?
The lizzard skin is pricey, seems to only slow heat and offer only a drop of around 30deg, but it very thin and I like that part and seems to also be a sound dampener at the same time.
There is tones of different jute padings out there most are faced with foil on one side or both.
and there is closed cell foam (CCF)

Not even sure if moisture should be a concern or variable.

I'm questioning the best bang for the buck here. I'm looking for the best product to control #1Heat #2Price #3Sound that I don't have to stick to the floor.

I saw in the archives that one guy found CCF was used under the seat carpet in a newer Lincoln.

I did a search to see what volara procuct I could find that was foil faced. I found a product used for pipe insulation THAT HAD SPECS! Its in this site somewhere.

The specs listed it as a R-11
4.5-8 milimeter
97% block in radiant heat.

I can't believe you can get a R-value like that with such a thin material.



I want to use something under the dash, in the kick panel vent holes and in the rear 1/4 too like it had origonaly. Most of the original fiberglass insulation was still in this 50 year old car but had fallen off and just laying in all the nooks and areas. I was quit impress on how well insulated it was from the factory.

Anyway sorry for the long rant
