Funk Motorsport Dual Layer Barrier Heat Shield Sheeting – Custom Exhaust Protection

Dual Layer Heat Shield Sheeting for Custom Exhaust Protection

The Funk Motorsport Dual Layer Barrier Heat Shield Sheeting is engineered for enthusiasts and professionals seeking advanced thermal management in motorsport, off-road, and performance road vehicles. Designed to be cut and shaped for precise fitment, this heat shield offers a flexible solution for protecting sensitive components from extreme radiant heat generated by exhaust systems and turbochargers.

How This Heat Shield Sheeting Works

This product features a dual-layer construction: two robust aluminium sheets sandwiching Funk Motorsport’s proprietary insulation core. The layered design helps reduce heat transfer by reflecting and dissipating radiant energy, shielding wiring, fuel lines, interiors, and bodywork from damaging temperatures. By lowering heat soak, it supports consistent performance and reliability in high-stress environments.

Where to Use Funk Motorsport Dual Layer Heat Shield Sheeting

Ideal for custom builds, this sheeting can be trimmed to fit complex shapes and tight spaces. Typical applications include:

• Protecting transmission tunnels, footwells, and floors from exhaust heat
• Shielding wiring looms, brake lines, and hoses near high-temperature zones
• Custom fabrication projects requiring tailored heat management
• Off-road vehicles exposed to sustained low-speed operation and heat soak
• Track and motorsport builds where underbody and engine bay temperatures are extreme

This sheeting is particularly suited for those who need a bespoke solution not offered by pre-cut shields or wraps, making it a go-to for unique or challenging installations.

Key Benefits for Buyers

• Helps reduce heat transfer to critical components and interiors
• Customisable: cut and shape to fit your exact requirements
• Supports improved reliability and comfort in demanding conditions
• Suitable for both interior and exterior applications
• Engineered for use in motorsport, off-road, and high-performance builds

What Sets This Heat Shield Apart

Unlike single-layer or generic heat barrier sheets, this Funk Motorsport solution combines dual aluminium layers with a proprietary insulation core, offering enhanced thermal resistance. Its flexibility and cut-to-fit format make it ideal for custom installations where off-the-shelf shields may not suit. This product is trusted by motorsport teams and off-road specialists for its adaptability and robust performance in harsh environments.

Technical Specifications

Installation and Usage Guidance

Installation is straightforward: measure, cut, and shape the sheeting to your application using tin snips or heavy-duty scissors. Secure with mechanical fasteners, adhesive, or custom brackets as needed. Ensure the shield covers all areas exposed to radiant heat and is firmly mounted to prevent movement. The flexible format allows for creative solutions in tight or awkward spaces.

Real-World Problem Solving

Excessive heat from exhausts and turbos can damage wiring, melt hoses, and raise cabin temperatures, leading to reliability issues and driver discomfort. This dual layer heat shield helps address these problems by providing a robust barrier, supporting safer, more reliable operation in both competition and expedition environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this dual layer heat shield differ from single layer products?

The dual layer design adds an extra aluminium barrier and insulation core, offering improved thermal resistance compared to single layer shields, making it more effective for high-heat applications.

Can I use this heat shield on any vehicle?

Yes, the universal format allows you to cut and shape the sheeting for a wide range of vehicles, including 4WDs, race cars, and custom builds.

What tools do I need for installation?

Standard tin snips or heavy-duty scissors are suitable for trimming. Fastening can be done with rivets, bolts, or high-temperature adhesive, depending on your application.

Is this product suitable for both interior and exterior use?

Yes, it is designed to protect both interior (such as footwells) and exterior (such as underbody or engine bay) components from radiant heat.

Does the heat shield require ongoing maintenance?

Once installed, it requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check for secure fitment and inspect for damage, especially in high-impact or high-vibration environments.

What are common use cases for this heat shield?

Protecting wiring, fuel lines, interiors, and bodywork from exhaust and turbo heat, as well as custom projects needing tailored heat management solutions.
