To work out how much you
To work out how much you need. Measure length x height to get a mtr2….ie say for example your van is 3mtrs long by 2 mtrs high= 6mtr2….x 2 sides=12mtr2
Don’t forget the roof as well. length x width…..ie 3 mtrs long by 1.8mtrs wide=5.4mtr2.
SO…..Total req. for that example van=17.4mtr2.
Don’t forget the rear door if your doing them as well. Just a rough guide, and get just a little extra for “eff ups”. LOL.
(Some people do the floor as well).February 12, 2012 at 6:11 pm #133902thesmithsParticipantThat’s really helpful cheers!

I used Kapoc which is made from fibrous tree strands. It’s a very good insulator and was reasonably priced.I boarded out with 5mm ply and then coated that with a thin layer of polystyrene which was papered over.
Good insulation also keeps the van cool in hot countries; something worth considering if you plan on hitting the continent.
