FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Felts & Fabrics

Got questions about Felts & Fabrics? We’ve answered the most common queries about its performance, applications, and customisation options to help you choose the right solution for your project.

  • What are felts typically used for in automotive applications?

    Thin gauge felts are primarily used for anti-rattle, buzz-squeak-rattle (BSR) control, and vibration damping within vehicle interiors. They are commonly installed between plastic mouldings, trim panels, and metal interfaces to minimise noise and improve perceived quality.

  • Can thin gauge felt be cut into custom shapes for specific vehicle components?

    Yes. We routinely convert felt into bespoke die-cut or CNC-cut parts tailored to the exact geometry of clips, trims, brackets, and interior interfaces. This ensures a precise fit and reliable long-term noise reduction.

  • Is adhesive backing available for cable wrapping or component mounting?

    Absolutely. Thin gauge felt can be supplied with pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side, making it ideal for cable wrapping, harness protection, and quick installation on production lines.

  • What colour options are available, and why would I choose white over black?

    Black and white felts are standard. White felt is often used in manufacturing environments where vision systems or human operators need clear visual confirmation that the part has been correctly applied, helping improve quality control.

  • How does felt perform in terms of durability, abrasion resistance, and compression?

    Automotive-grade felts provide excellent abrasion resistance, stable compression characteristics, and long-term durability under repeated movement or vibration. They retain their structure over time, ensuring consistent anti-rattle and NVH performance.
