van insulation
« on: November 10, 2013, 09:15:19 am »
I bought some expanding foam from screwfix to foam up my van (ford escort 75D)  I started with the back doors, OK so then tried the roof.... what a nightmare... had it falling off and making a mess everywhere.. even fell in my air... I almost lost the will to live..

Then I did some research and found other guys had just gone to B and Q and got the silver bubble rap
http://www.diy.com/nav/build/insulation/constructional-insulation/B-and-Q-Value-Aluminium-Foil-Loft-Insulation-12848829?skuId=13359535  --  This one cost me a tenner.

and I bought the glue from ebay but I used the whole can so had to buy some more.  this is the cheapest I could find,

 I would recommend getting 2 or 3 cans.  It took me less than half a hour to do most of the van.  I will finish it off once the rest of the glue is delivered.

ply line the roof with 2-3 mm board, with some loft insulation in between
