Dodo Super Liner 6mm (1/4") Roll Vehicle Insulation & Sound Proofing, 3sq.m (32sq.ft), Self Adhesive

Product Information

In summary, I bought too much insulation, but I do still want to any some insulation under the headliner and I’m also going to use the ThermaWrapto make some window covers for the front and side windows. And the foil, well, I ended up using that elsewhere. Side panels and doors insulation Thermal liner on side panels and wheel arches For the ceiling of my Vauxhall Vivaro Mk3 I used approximately 2.5-metres of thermal linerinsulation, less because I was filling the panels in the ceiling and not covering the entire area. Total = 2.5 m2 It’s worth getting good scissors for this job, I bought these large heavy duty scissors and they’ve turned out very handy. I made a couple of cardboard templates for awkward sections, but the rest I just filled the gaps with all the off cuts. It’s not a perfect finish but as regards to sound deadening it worked! Campervan Insulation Do you need insulation in your van? I also researched that you needed to measure and cut extra to allow for the bumps, I added about 30 mm to my first measurement, which was slightly too but but better being that way than too short.

I fitted mine on a warm day and rubbed my hands over them to warm them up. Sound deadening sheets + roller to secure in place Was 30 sheets enough for my Vauxhall Vivaro Mk3? Initially, I planned to secure this with spray adhesivebut after filling a few gaps it wasn’t necessary as it held in place as it was. Loft insulation made from recycled plastic bottles How much insulation did I use for the side panels and doors? Here is what I used to insulate my van walls, floor and ceiling. I’ll do a breakdown of what I used for each part of the van but here’s the overall list. When treating a typical van or camper you must use a number of different products to achieve an excellent final result. Many camper van projects start life with very limited luxury, however the interior can be improved dramatically with the application of good sound deadening and insulation. My original plan for the ceiling insulation was the thermal liner and that was it. But after using the van on a couple of overnight trips I noticed how bad the condensation was in my van particularly on the ceiling where the exposed metal was collecting droplets of water.This self-adhesive, high-quality liner can maintain shape under pressure yet be flexible enough to trim easily in many areas of the vehicle. It is water and high-temperature resistant and flame-retardant to UK vehicle standards. Here I’ll explain which insulation I used for each part of my campervan, mission, to keep ‘Dennis’ lovely and warm 🙂 Campervan Sound Deadening I’ll break down my insulation into the three main areas I fitted it to – the side panels and doors, the floor and the ceiling. Ceiling insulation When installed in your vehicle Dodo Super Liner will act as a thermal insulating layer to help stabilise vehicle cabin temperatures throughout the year.

For the stage 2 product we recommend having a measure up to determine the correct amount needed. We suggest applying this like a blanket, covering 100% of the main panels. Quantity will vary most for this layer depending on van windows, pop-tops etc. For my side panels and four doors I used the same two items for my van insulation – Dodo Mat thermal linerand recycled plastic loft insulation I also kept all the odds and ends so I could use every bit of the thermal liner on any odd places once I’d done the large sections.But first let’s talk about sound deadening and whether you need it? Sound deadening on my wheel arch Do you need sound deadening? We recommend a simple easy to follow "2 stage process", applying a panel deadening product first, followed by quality insulation over the top. Stage 1 - Sides, roof and doors

I started with the thermal liner which came on a 10-metre roll and I used a tape measureto roughly work out the size I needed for each panel and cut this with my heavy duty scissors. Once I had a smaller piece to work with I found the best technique was pushing the thermal liner into the curved corners, bending it down then cutting to create the shape. Again, this didn’t need to be perfect but I was aiming for maximum coverage. How Much Does A Campervan Conversion Cost? (Vauxhall Vivaro Mk3 LWB) How much did the sound deadening cost? After the ceiling, walls and doors were done I had 1.5 metres of Dodo Mat thermal linerleft, I could have put additional insulation over some of the gaps, in fact, I did do this with some of the small leftovers. But I had plans for this last bit of insulation – make my own window covers (I’ve already made one so I’ll share how I did it in another post). Floor insulation Dodo Super Liner for the floor insulation These items needed for fitting the sound deadening sheets, one of the easiest jobs to get you started!My van is a medium sized van, long-wheel based, approximately 2.5 m long by 1.4 m wide and 1.4 m high, to help you visualise and compare to your van. Your van is essentially a metal box! Metal conducts both heat and cold, therefore when it’s cold outside your van will mirror the temperature. I started staying in my van during March in the UK, I had temperatures of minus 6 at night, maybe colder and I can confirm that insulation made a HUGE difference. I woke up one morning with ice inside my van on the exposed metal sections, but the insulated areas were a normal temperature to touch by hand. What did I use to insulate my van? I have planned to add another type of insulation in the gaps but I’m yet to work out what’s right. It’s too expensive to buy another roll when I’d only be using 1-metre at the most. Watch this space for an update.

Use a special formulation closed cell foam with excellent thermal and acoustic properties. Ideal to reduce noise, insulate the vehicle and to isolate barriers and trim panels. Dodo Super Liner is an affordable, self-adhesive flexible foam liner that is perfect for vehicle heat and sound insulation when applied over sound deadening. The unique Dodo closed cell foam formulation has been designed to give superb thermal insulation and acoustic absorption in a 12mm (1/2") profile.

Dav-Tec

Closed cell foam based products are the ideal choice for insulating a campervan. They are waterproof and are applied directly to the metal panels. This direct application means they act as moisture barrier, insulation and soundproofing in one clean low profile layer. Try to keep in a straight line, harder when you go to add the second layer as you want there to be minimal gaps in between. Use on all metal panels up to 50% coverage for most cost effective results, or 100% on outer panels for a fully comprehensive job. This product can be used on any metal panel in your vehicle, with the most common areas to treat being the sides, wheel arches, roof and bulkhead. You may also add deadening to the floor if required, however the floor pan generally suffers least from vibration issues and will use a lot of extra material.
