Hey Folks,
I was tinkering around the other day trying to compare sound deadening. Mostly I was looking for best bang for buck and using density as the driving factor with price point coming in second. I was messing around and put it into excel and figured it was at least neat to share.
Before I get beat up for this, I put as much information as I could find on amazon to determine this cart. I didn't deep dive into the internet so I'm sure I'm leaving out some brands. Some will be flaming me for adding things together that shouldn't be together. Others will get upset at any ranking of second skin less than top because density isn't the only thing it does as it's a hybrid. I'm just putting a few items together and hoping to share.
Many times density wasn't given, but it would give a package weight. I would then come up with density based on the package weight / square footage advertised. I added a few notes here and there and included some estimates on floor and roof costs based on "average car" floor and roof square footage. Additionally, I came up with my own column which is (lb/ft)/thickness which is density.
Average Car Floor = 32 ft^2
Average Car Roof = 15 ft^2
Density (Wt/tk) = Package weight / square footage advertised.
Green = Best in Catagory
Yellow = Least in Catagory
Conclusion:
Obviously Second Skin is probably going to be the best but comes with a hefty price tag of 8.89$/ft^2. I think at a cost and density point, I would go with Noico. However Canopus may win out as best bang for buck but I don't know anything about them.
If this is interesting to anyone else but me, I will put more work into this excel sheet and post it up (including the excel file iteself).
Sorted by Highest lb/ft
Sorted By highest cost/ ft^2
Sorted by thickness
Sorted by Density
