Lining with carpet and glue
Hiya
Just wondered if anyone can recommend where to buy carpet to line the van onto ply and some good strong glue ?
Thanks.
Try MegaVanMats for smooth lining carpet. About £4 per square metre

Try your local Carpet Right store for ribber carpet at £2.99 per square metre
Evo stick carpet glue is very good, but can be expensive.
I used cheaper spray adhesive and it has worked well.
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.
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.
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.
