Tips for Choosing the Right Felt
For a specific application with felt, one must carefully consider what kind of felt to choose. Differences in the type of cloth that will be used, the temperature, thickness, and strength all play a big role in the choice. Below are some tips for specific use:
- For insulation or decorative work, wool felt is the best option owing to its soothing touch and natural properties.
- For industrial work that deals with chemicals and moisture, synthetic felt is the best choice.
- Wool felt is appropriate for cushioning and controlling vibrations in automotive and machinery due to their heavy density.
- For commercial use, soundproofing and acoustic felt does a great job of reducing noise levels.
