I'm planning to use this Airtec Double Insulation www.screwfix.com/prods/21112/Building/Roofing-Insulation/Airtec-Double-Insulation-1-05m-x-25m fixed to the back of the existing lining panels in My Renault Trafic, as it's only around 3 mm thick but gives the same insulation as 55 mm of polystyrene.
Plan is to use PVA bond glue or double sided carpet tape to fix it to the back of the existing plastic lining panels and seal the join between the insulation and the van metal sides with silicone sealant to act as a vapour barrier.
Has anyone else tried this stuff ? It looks too good to be true, thin light and excellent insulation properties.
Also does anyone know where I can get some small windows 300 x 300 mm max to fit into the sides of the extended roof of My van, between the roof support frames. These wuld be at eye level when standing in the van, but too high for anyone to see in from outside. windows in the usual place, (in the side loading door and the fixed panel opposite this) are too low, waist level, when standing inside the van
Thanks,
Davey.
Hi Davey,
Haven't tried that insulation but you're right, sounds great. Be good to see some photos - let us know how it works out.
There are a couple of companies online who have van and vehicle windows (bonded, rubber and all sorts of shapes and sizes). Possibly the most comprehensive one is these guys. They stock windows for boats, horeseboxes, vans, the lot so I'd think they must have something which would fit what you want. I guess the only downside is they might be expensive for what you need so the only other option would be to pick some up second hand although not sure where you would try. I'd phone and ask them what the options are. Cheers
Hi Davey,
did you go ahead with the airtec insulation? How did it go?
I am about to insulate my citroen dispatch for use in the winter in europe and wanted some feedback on airtec.
Cheers
