HI All, Im currently doing my first camper van restoration (1978) and im currently at the interior stage. Having purchased the door cards what is the best thing to use for insulation / sound proofing? Cheers
Whilst the silvered bitumen pads are very good...think long and hard before you use them...its just taken me 3 hrs to remove one from between the seats (PO) with a paint scraper, paint thinners and heavy duty sand paper
Madpad - i uploaded some photos of my camper. Took your advice and went for the silent coat pad option and fitted them yesterday! - http://s1068.photobucket.com/albums/u445/nlynch75/ Just trying to decide on next option - closed cell foam or is better palziv? What would you guys recon is the best value for money, seems to be coming in quite pricey.
Hi Get in contact with noisekiller in Manchester. Great range of products and easy to install yourself. T
I used flash banding to deaden the panels then cheap silver backed sleeping mats of eBay stuck down with spray on carpet advesive. Then WBP 9mm ply then bamboo t&g flooring from B&Q. nice and cheap and effective! cheers s
I have just finished referbing my westy's interior and use silver backed laminate floor insulation and glued it with trimfix then 35mm insulation from Harrison trims great stuff also put it in the roof then covered all the metal work with easy trim carpet the same as veltrim but easier to lay Rob would put some pics on but not sure how
Thanks for all the splendid advice, its great to absorb all the wealth of knowledge on here - especially as a virgin camper restorer! Eventually went for the palziv closed cell foam which im due to fit at the weekend along with rocknroll bed. hopefully if i have time my joiner will board it out as well. MOT day is finally here today... wish me luck!! Hopefully will be taking it for its maiden voayge on sunday - albiet with the interior still to fit over the next few weekends.
