Embossed Semi Rigid Heat Shields

Rated to withstand temperatures up to 650°C, and up to 1,000°C with steel-ceramic variants, these shields are ideal for engine bays, underbody protection, and areas with minimal ventilation or limited space between heat sources and components. 

Why Use Embossed Semi-Rigid Heat Shields?

High-performance and modified vehicles often generate intense exhaust and under-bonnet heat that can damage nearby wiring, fuel systems, floor panels, and critical electronics. Traditional heat wraps may not suit flat or rigid surfaces or areas where permanent wrapping is not ideal. In these situations, embossed aluminium heat shields provide a clean, professional, and effective solution. 

These heat shields offer up to 90% radiant heat reduction, making them an ideal barrier to protect interiors, engine bays, and undercarriage components from heat damage or heat soak. 

Key Features and Benefits 

Kool Wrap embossed aluminium heat shield panels combine rugged performance with installation flexibility. Key benefits include: 

• Multi-Layer Construction – Available in two, four, and six-layer formats for progressive heat resistance and durability 
• High-Temperature Capability – Rated for continuous exposure to 650°C and up to 1,000°C in steel-ceramic DCI variants 
• Semi-Rigid Design – Flexible enough to shape by hand but strong enough to maintain form without additional support 
• Embossed Aluminium Surface – Enhances structural integrity and improves heat dispersion 
• DIY Friendly – Cut easily with tin snips or scissors; edges can be folded over with a hammer for a clean finish 
• Universal Application – Adaptable for use in a wide range of vehicles and machinery types 

This combination of thermal performance, workability, and versatility makes them an ideal solution for both workshop professionals and DIY vehicle builders. 

Applications Across Automotive and Industrial Sectors

Embossed heat shields are suitable for a wide range of use cases where radiant heat poses a risk to component integrity or cabin comfort. These applications include: 

• Exhaust system heat shielding 
• Turbo manifold protection 
• Underbody floor and tunnel insulation 
• Firewall and bulkhead shielding 
• Fuel tank and brake line heat protection 
• Battery shielding in performance or EV vehicles 
• Engine bay heat control in track or off-road builds 
• Industrial machinery and generator enclosures 

Kool Wrap also offers wrap-around shields for specific pipe diameters, perfect for circular exhaust pipes and turbo downpipes without needing full wrap coverage. 

Product Range Overview

Kool Wrap’s range of semi-rigid embossed aluminium heat shields includes various sizes, layer configurations, and wrap-around options: 

• 2 Layer Panels – Lightweight and compact for moderate heat protection 
• 4 Layer Panels – Enhanced insulation with increased rigidity and durability 
• 6 Layer Panels – Maximum thermal barrier for extreme conditions 
• Wrap-Around Shields – Designed for pipes and tubular components in 63mm ID sizes 
• Steel-Ceramic Coated Variants – Rated up to 1,000°C for motorsport and heavy industrial use 

These options allow you to choose the most suitable product depending on your project scope, temperature range, and installation environment. 

Installation and Customization 

Kool Wrap embossed heat shields are designed for ease of installation. Their semi-rigid structure allows the panels to hold their shape once formed. This makes them ideal for areas where conventional wrap materials would sag or fail under vibration. 

• Cut to size using tin snips or heavy-duty scissors 
• Shape or fold along square edges using a mallet or hammer 
• Drill or punch mounting holes for rivets, screws, or clamps 
• Use in combination with Kool Wrap stainless steel ties or mechanical fasteners 

This flexibility allows for clean, professional installations in both custom and factory setups. 

Built for Performance and Longevity

With over two decades of experience in heat protection technologies, Kool Wrap has developed a product range trusted by race teams, mechanics, restorers, and industrial engineers. Our embossed semi-rigid heat shields are built to withstand harsh operating environments, temperature cycling, vibration, and exposure to contaminants such as oil, dirt, and water. 

These products are ideal for long-term, high-heat exposure applications where reliability, safety, and thermal efficiency are critical. 

The Ideal Solution for Controlling Radiant Heat

Heat is one of the most destructive forces in an engine bay or mechanical system. With Kool Wrap’s embossed aluminium heat shield panels, you can create a strong, lightweight thermal barrier that dramatically improves safety, reliability, and comfort. 

Whether you’re building a custom engine bay, shielding exhaust components, or managing heat inside an industrial enclosure, Kool Wrap’s heat shields offer professional-grade performance that’s easy to work with and built to last.
