Corvette Heat Barrier Kits

By the time Chevrolet started producing C5 and C6 Corvettes, they had moved well past the days of hot interior temperatures. They were able to do so by installing carpet in Corvettes that were backed with high quality material similar to the mass backing carpet we’ve talked about before. However, before mass backing, which was used in C4 Corvettes, the carpet sets were not designed to keep the interior of your Corvette free of noise and heat. Consequently, and if you have ever driven a 1953-1977 Corvette for any period of time you most likely have noticed the increase in temperature inside the Corvette once after a short time.

We get a lot of customers asking “Why is the interior of my corvette so hot?”, which is why we offer Corvette Heat Barrier Kits. Often times, even when the carpet and insulation is in good shape, a significant amount of heat will build up inside your Corvette. If this is happening to you then a Corvette heat barrier kit will likely solve most of the heat issues.

Our Corvette heat barrier kits are made of a ceramic cloth-like material with reinforced foil backing. Each kit includes 1/8″ pre-cut pieces that install under the carpet to effectively reduce interior temperatures up to 50%.  For most year Corvettes we have these heat barrier kits available in a 6-piece front only set or a 7-piece full car set. The best part about these heat barrier kits is that they will not affect your Corvette’s Carpet fit and they can be used with your original carpet underlayment.
