Re: Heat insulation recommendations to put over sound deadener?

I too have been looking into this... I have heard that jute retains water and can lead to floor rot. Therefore, I’ve been looking into modern composite materials that do not have the moisture retention properties of jute and also perform better than jute. Jute would probably work fine, but I figured this was another opportunity for me to overthink something for the truck!

Well... don't leave the window down in a rain storm!
Dynomat has all sorts of thickness. I picked up some Norco? 120mil pad for floor on Dodge with SQ stereo set up.

You're not alone in overthinking, thats what made me start the thread.

I have read that closed cell foam would be another option instead of jute but I dont know if it has good heat insulation value. At least not the stuff Ive seen so far.
