where can you buy kingspan

Basically celotex and kingspan are trade names for the same thing - 50 mm insulation with silvered backing - places like Jewsons, Ashmeads etc do them or loads of online stores will have a branch near you.

It comes in 8' x 4' x 50mm sheets but is so easy to saw you can go up in a car or van and saw it in half or thirds in a minute or so. That's about £20.

Or you can buy 4' x 2' ready cut. They are about £6.

I use it to insulate my static tanks as well.
It's a game of three halves!

I've just insulated the whole of my van in this, including roof. I'm told its the equivalent of 700mm of fibreglass roof insulation. Cost me £150 from catle point insulation in basildon, although there are other distributors around the country

Must look a bit odd stuck to the outside of the van.
