Hey all
Our Hiace has insulating curtains and a wooden floor but I'm wanting some sort of insulation for the roof and top half of the walls that have exposed metal.

Any suggestions on what I should/could use?

There's limited space so anything under 10mm thick would be best....

Cheers

Hunt

I know in the corolla's I have pulled apart above the head lining there is 10mm carpet/mat that has adhesive on one side that sticks to the roof.
I guess something like this must be commercially available

Good idea! That sounds ideal!

I'm having a look around now

It was bloody cold last night! lol

another cheap alternative, if you can score it free would be carpet underlay, attach with spray on adhesive

That's a brilliant idea!

Then I'd just somehow attach some sort of vinyl or felt to make it look better

nah dimpled effect ftw

but there's all sorts of underlay options, adding vinyl etc would be as simple as spraying the adhesive on the back and slapping it up

cheap yes, but functional

any more than 3 ladies and things get uncomfortable

And the itch cant be worse than anything you haven't pickup already in the van :lol:

what about just applying a layer of automotive carpet - the stuff used to cover sub-boxes. You can get it in different thickness's, stuff I have here is about 10mm

by **Stott69** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 11:13 pm

I vote pink batts held up with mirrored perspex!
