## Overview

The Design Engineering Floor & Tunnel Shield II is a premium, adhesive-backed aluminum heat shield designed to reduce radiant engine heat and dampen noise. With a durable 10 mil embossed aluminum face bonded to a 1/8" composite fiberglass core, it withstands continuous heat up to 1750°F and adhesive temperatures beyond 450°F. Its flexible 3/16" thickness allows custom fitting in tight vehicle spaces, making it ideal for automotive restoration, racing, and everyday thermal management.

## Description

Designed to provide the best possible heat protection in areas where high temperatures are always present and problematic, the Design Engineering Floor & Tunnel Shield II limits heat transfer on fire walls, transmission tunnels, floor boards, fuel cells and other areas where heat is an issue. It provides excellent lightweight thermal protection, acts as a guard against track and road debris, and provides sound deadening as well. Constructed with an embossed 10 mil aluminum face bonded to 1/8" composite glass-fiber core and backed with a high temp super strong pressure sensitive backing, Floor & Tunnel Shield II withstands up to 1750 degrees Fahrenheit of direct continuous heat. The adhesive side holds past 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Its improved multifaceted modern aluminum surface offers improved reflectivity and rigidity and allows for ease of installation. At only 3/16" thick, this product can be shaped and trimmed for a custom fit and is ideal for minimal clearance areas. With a unique and patented finely woven glass-fiber backing, Floor & Tunnel Shield II is the easiest, most cost effective way to control thermal transfer while protecting expensive components and vehicle occupants from extreme heat situations and sound. Floor & Tunnel Shield II can be used on any number of surfaces including, metal, aluminum, carbon fiber, plastic, and more. Multiple uses include: fire walls, under hoods, transmission tunnels, floor pans, fuel cells, and exterior under vehicle locations - anywhere to reflect damaging heat.

Review: Excellent product. Takes patience to install if you want an excellent result. - This is a very high quality product but there are things you need to know. First, it is not like working with that rubberized sound deadening material that goes under your carpet. This uses a much thicker aluminum foil over a fiberglass material with a very aggressive adhesive. To give the adhesive its best chance, I started by cleaning my 140k mile floor pan multiple times with mineral spirits, prepped it with scotch bright pads and sand paper, then and gave it a fresh rattle can paint job. I let the paint cure for a week before installing the tunnel shield. It took a 42x48 and 21x48 sheet to do the entire tunnel area from frame rail to frame rail of my '04 Miata. Once the adhesive makes anything more than the lightest contact, its difficult to remove without separating the fiberglass layer so get it right the first time. I created a template with paper bags and masking tape. then cut the template in such a way that it would lay flat. I then layed out the template pieces on the tunnel shield material to plan my cuts. I bought an inexpensive pair of scissors (ASIN B00LSWLAA8) and they made it through the job... I needed to stop periodically to clean the adhesive and fiberglass off them. The cut edges are sharp so wear some gloves! I roughly contoured the tunnel shield to my project BEFORE removing the paper backing. I then carefully positioned my work and gradually removed the paper backing while rolling it in. Work slowly and deliberately. The foil is flexible enough to roll into and around contours but it does have its limits. The roller I used: (ASIN B07X5SV5FD), its a good quality product that should last through many projects. You'll need to seal the edges since water could get into the fiberglass layer. DEI recommends their tape for this purpose but several people had negative things to say about the tape. On the recommendation of another enthusiast, I sealed the edges with RTV. I used loctite grey #5699 ASIN B0794BYCZ2. The pressurized container works in any orientation and made it easy to apply a consistent bead. Mask along your seams so you get straight, tidy edges. Again if you work slowly and deliberately, you can get good results. I worked in the silicone with a finger and wore heavy Venom Steel nitrile gloves to keep the chemicals off/out of my body (ASIN B00Y2OFGMW). Good Luck!
Review: Excellent heat barrier and VERY GOOD ADHESIVE. - Excellent heat shields. Use them in the engine compartment of my rv. They REALLY stick once they are pressed on. Well made and VERY good adhesive. Good luck if you want to want to remove it.

Excellent heat shields. Use them in the engine compartment of my rv. They REALLY stick once they are pressed on. Well made and VERY good adhesive. Good luck if you want to want to remove it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's great at doing its job.
*by P***O on June 3, 2025*

It's great at doing its job: it's a good insulator and heat reflector. The adhesive is very aggressive, which is great.
