we are shane and ane van life this is shane
and that's me ane and this here is fergus our van hello welcome back to
part three of our van build series in the last video we teared out the
whole van and started put down the sound deadening
but in this video we're going to be insulating the whole van and paneling
all the walls so to start off we used kingspan
insulation on the walls and floor we used 40 mmm on the walls and 25
on the floor and then on top of that we used this
recycled plastic bottle insulation that's 100 mm thick
and it doesn't hold any moisture so it's what you want for a camper van you don't
want it to rot and then after that we use this
foil insulation to create like an airtight barrier
and then once that was done we taped up all the joints with file tape just to
seal it off so let's get on with the video and we'll
show you how we did it
okay so first of all we have the sound deadening put onto the panels
now we're going to put this 40 mm kingspan insulation
over this then we're going to get another hairy insulation that's made
from recycled plastics so we can get in around all the
smaller areas that this will get there and then we'll cover it all with another
layer of insulation and then that'll keep it nice and warm
and then we'll cover this off with timber
okay so we have the first wall done we just put in
one two three four five pieces of insulation next we're going to move on
to this side and we'll fill up these shapes
shove them in with this insulation and then pack
the fiberglass insulation all around [Music]
[Music] okay so we have the whole floor
insulated now then we're going to use this tape it's like a foil tape i'm just
going to tape off all the joints to seal it all in
so already it's feeling a lot warmer it's looking a lot better so let's get
taping and see how it goes
let me just rip
so i'm just going to be cutting it up
into these bits like that there squishing it together
and just shove it up into the hose and hopefully
this one doesn't hold the moisture which then causes the
rust from the inside out so hopefully well supposedly it's not supposed to so
hopefully it doesn't so i know it looks pretty terrible right now
but that's going to be all covered with a layer of foil
so then you're not going to see any of that it's going to cover timber
so that's all good when you're using this glue
and the hairy insulation it fairly sticks to your fingers
okay so insulation is coming on well i have this part mostly
insulated so first of all we have the sound deadening
40 mm insulation and now this hairy insulation
just a little bit more pieces to do here and there but
then we're going to cover that with the foil and then we'll put the panel back on
Ane is doing good over her side
she has these three panels done just a bit down the bottom and that far
corner so just had to get one more roll of this
insulation just to finish off the insulation build
if you receive that panel done now we just have to do under that window
underneath this window and then once we get our new sliding door on
then we'll be going there as well
so that's one whole side of the van completely insulated on this panel i had
lats running across this way so i just nailed
them in there and then on this one i had no timber so
i just used this spray adhesive so it's tensor grip t44
and it is really really good i just spread it on the back of the foil
back and onto the panel and then i just stuck it all on as you
saw in the timelapse there so that's that whole panel done next
will be this panel so let's go
- it's pretty perfect my end - same
you can see here on the floor we have our 25 mm insulation
covered with the foil wrap and then we have our timber
on top of that so we have a solid base to put our carpet or lino
or whatever we are gonna use. So, leave a comment down below
what you guys use in your t25s whether you prefer carpet or
linso the van is all insulated now we have
floor the walls and everything paneled so it's looking
a lot lot better and with the insulation on it has made an awful lot
of a difference the walls are pretty solid now
we have over 80 mm of insulation on it so
hopefully we're not going to be cold but other than that there
it's complete inside so in the next video we're going to be unboxing a lot
of stuff we have our fridge our cooker our sink and everything
ordered so in the next video we're going to be doing an unboxing so stay tuned
for that there and as always don't forget to like and subscribe
and share our videos and we'll catch you in the next video thanks
