insulating

I know there are loads of threads about insulation and sound deadening but that’s the problem for a new comer to all this - too much information!! We are now trying to find what we need to do to insulate our van before we put the ply lining in. We will be using the van mainly for day/short...

I’m about to glue insulation to my walls and ceiling and I noticed that there are some sort of thin insulation/soundproofing pads already stuck to the walls (see pic). From what I’ve read, it’s preferable that the insulation (in my case cork panels) should be snug up against the surface. This...

Hi folks, I have just bought my first T4 and it is currently completely stripped out in the back. My question is what jobs do you recommend I do before plying the back out. The obvious one would be putting windows in (which is on my list) but can you think of any jobs that you have done that you...

Morning all. I have done all the insulating and carpet lining now and for the most part the van is quiet and warm and dry, but the rear door is unlined due to it being exposed to the elements past the seal. So if I kip in the van the rear door gets wet with condensation. I am venting through...

Hi all. Just ordered my first van, a vw T6 swb highline panel van and looking for places in/near london where i can have it sound deadened, insulated & carpet lined. Any ideas which companies do all this ? :) I've ordered the van to be ply lined but now changed my mind and i want it carpet...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has used the B&Q recycled plastic insulation? I keep seeing and reading that people have used the 'recycled plastic bottle insulation' version (white). I tried to get my hands on that as it has been recommended for not holding on to moisture etc but could only get...

Hi guys. We started our conversion today. Thought we would put some pictures up as we go along. We've made a list of all the bits and bobs we've brought too, so hopefully that will be of use to other first-timers in the future. We really appreciate all the help and advice we've had from the...

Hi all! I've been a reader for a while, but finally bought my first t4 last weekend. My fathers half way through a project of his own too, so he's inspired me to sell the daily driver mini cooper and get this. Plus we found out in March that we're expecting our first baby so the mini had to go...

I'm sorry for the question to be asked again but I've spent a good amount of time looking for this answer to find wicked tintz to be the only guy to sell the kit individually but he has no delivery and collection for me is a 8+ hour drive in total. So as suggested folks, I'm after the T5...

I visited 'Classic Acoustics' yesterday for a Insulation and Carpeting Install.. I arrived at 8am, and Paul (owner of Classic Acoustics) and his trusty side-kick Chris, set to work on my LWB T5 GP.. All I can say is what a great job they did. The difference in sound is immense (even did my...

Hi, I have just removed the bulkhead out of my first van. Next i want to get the floor down! I will be using 12mm ply as looking over the forum that seems the best idea! :) But I just dont know how to fix the ply down? Please could people express their feelings on the best way to fix it...

Hi all :), I've jus bought an awesome T5 & I will be road tripping to the mountains in europe (in winter) so I kinda need it to be well insulated against the cold! does anyone have any suggestions on what to use, or if they have done the same thing?? thx T: i'll add before, during & after...
