Hiya

Just wondered if anyone can recommend where to buy carpet to line the van onto ply and some good strong glue ?

Thanks.

Evo stick carpet glue is very good, but can be expensive.
I used cheaper spray adhesive and it has worked well.

Spray Adhesive

Interesting note on the subject of spray adhesive . I bought two cans (Copydex type rubber stuff, name of Stickatak)just to get me started and paid seven quid each for them in a local hardware store. I later found a big carpet warehouse charging eleven quid for the same size and make! I've now found a little carpet warehouse/fitter who charges me three quid a can. Pays to shop around.

Glue

Hi, evo stik is a bit more expensive, but worth it. Don't use the cheap spray glue fron screwfix as it's c**p. Wickes glue is pretty good too.

Use the best your budget can stand !

Any glue you use to stick carpet to the van should be temperature rated, ideally at 90 degrees. This mean that your carpet will stay on during a hot sunny day. Cheap glue is a waste of time as you will have to re-stick your carpet after the summer.

I got some 90 degree rated from Megavanmats and it was reasonably priced.
