For thin separator layers, laminations, and thin structures, 1–2 mm is usually sufficient. 3 mm is the standard thickness for camper and vehicle interiors, interior finishes, mounting pads, and technical surface protection.

4–5 mm is ideal for wall paneling, room acoustics, and greater sound absorption. 8–10 mm and 15 mm are used for heavy loads, vibration isolation, and in mechanical engineering.

The difference lies in the bulk density: Soft fulled felt (0.20 g/cm³) is more flexible, more pliable, and can be easily draped over edges, curves, and contours.

Dense full-wale felt (0.36 g/cm³) is compressed to nearly twice the density. As a result, it is significantly more resistant to compression and abrasion and maintains its dimensions better in technical cuts—yet remains flexible when sold in rolls.

No. Although dense wool felt (0.36 g/cm³) is significantly sturdier and hardly yields under pressure, it is not a rigid board but rather a textile material that has been highly compressed through fulling.

It is supplied in rolls, can be laid out flat, and is ideal for pressure-resistant underlays, sliding surfaces, scrapers, and dimensionally accurate strip cuts.

Technical felt (100% wool, bonded by moisture, heat, and pressure) is the top choice for industrial applications, sealing, cushioning, sliding surfaces, and precise cuts without fraying.

Needle-punched felt (mechanically needle-punched fibers made from sheep's wool or polypropylene) is significantly more elastic and is primarily used for large-area wall, ceiling, and vehicle trim.

Yes, both our camper felts (stretch felt and natural wool felt, 3 mm thick) and our acoustic felt (4–5 mm thick) are available with a ready-to-install, strong-adhesive backing.

To ensure full adhesive strength, the surface must be dry and free of dust and grease. For highly textured or open-pored surfaces, we recommend performing a brief test application on a sample first.

Self-adhesive roll material saves a tremendous amount of installation time in automotive, trade show, and interior construction projects, since there is no need to apply spray or surface adhesives—it can be applied directly from the backing paper.

Felt without an adhesive backing is useful when the material is to be laid loosely, mechanically fastened, sewn, or applied to special substrates using its own two-component or contact adhesive.

In vehicle interior trim, 3 mm has proven to be the optimal standard thickness: The material reliably covers sheet metal seams and uneven surfaces, yet can still be easily shaped to fit around creases, along side members, and around wheel wells.

For complex 3D curves, we recommend our extremely stretchy 3 mm stretch felt (PP). If you value 100% natural fibers, moisture regulation, and a comfortable indoor climate, choose the 3 mm Camper wool felt.

For acoustically effective wall and ceiling cladding in residential, office, and commercial construction, we specifically use 4–5 mm thick wool felt.

This thickness provides the necessary fiber volume to effectively absorb high- and mid-frequency reverberation in the room, while also ensuring a smooth, high-quality surface appearance.

Our soft industrial fulled felt (0.20 g/cm³) is 1.70 m wide, while the firm industrial fulled felt (0.36 g/cm³), as well as the acoustic and camper wool felt, are 1.50 m wide.

The synthetic Camper stretch felt (polypropylene) comes in rolls with an exceptionally wide width of 2.00 m, allowing even the side walls and ceilings of large vans to be covered seamlessly in a single piece.

A major advantage of genuine wool felt and needle-punched felt is that the cut edges do not fray and do not need to be trimmed. Thicknesses ranging from 1 to 5 mm can be cut cleanly with a sharp utility knife (guided along a steel ruler) or a sturdy fabric/carpet scissors.

For high-density felts with a thickness of 8–15 mm or more, we recommend using a sharp replaceable blade in several passes, or using electric circular blades or industrial cutting methods.

Fabric sold by the meter is delivered in a single piece from the roll in the length you specify (ranging from 1.50 m to 2.00 m at full roll width)—ideal for large-scale linings and your own further processing.

If you need precisely defined strips, rings, stamped parts, or sheet sizes for mass production, mechanical engineering, or assembly, we can manufacture them to order, tailored exactly to your specifications.

Yes. In addition to our standard product line, which is available immediately from stock (1 to 15 mm in densities of 0.20 and 0.36 g/cm³), we also supply industrial and commercial customers with technical felts in thicknesses greater than 15 mm.

Similarly, different specific densities (g/cm³ according to DIN 61200) as well as custom widths and configurations are available upon request.

Although pure wool felt is naturally stain- and moisture-resistant, it is designed for dry indoor environments and weather-protected technical applications.

In cases of prolonged direct exposure to the elements or persistent moisture, a moisture-resistant synthetic needle-punched felt (polypropylene) should be used instead of natural wool felt.

Using our curated sample sets (for camper and acoustic felt) as well as the individual sample option available directly on the walk felt product pages, you can test the material thickness, bulk density, and adhesion in advance using the actual component.

This ensures that, for larger quantities by the running meter or renovation projects, the color, texture, and strength meet your technical requirements exactly.
