Dashboard Flocking

What is dashboard flocking?

Dashboard flocking involves applying flocking fibers to a car dashboard. These fibers are fine nylon fibers, 1 mm long, available in various colors from DutchFlock. Applying these fibers gives your dashboard a suede or velvety look and feel.

Dashboard flocking is widely used in motorsports and car tuning. It not only improves the visual appearance of a dashboard but also prevents sunlight from reflecting off it. A particularly useful feature when you're tearing around a track or off-road track at high speeds!

Benefits of dashboard flocking

As described above, dashboard flocking reduces reflections on the windshield, giving you better visibility. It also improves the readability of gauges and displays. Flocking is durable because it provides a durable finish to a dashboard. It can also be used to restore a damaged dashboard to its pristine condition.

The application of flocking fibers also provides sound and vibration dampening due to the fiber's properties. Therefore, flocking is used in the automotive industry not only for dashboards but also for other car parts.

Auto parts flocking

Flocking can be applied to almost any surface. For a uniform look, you can flock other car parts besides your dashboard. Think of your car's center console, for example. The velvety feel of the flocking fibers is soft, making flocking ideal for this.

Other car parts that can be flocked include door panels and the glove compartment, as well as components like sunglasses holders. By using the same color flocking fibers, you create a consistent look.
