    I really appreciate that you've done a bunch of research on each topic before you do your video. Usually I seek out a half dozen videos on each project - but when I watch yours you've included all the information from the other videos, and even the manufacturer specifications and manufacturer installation instructions/videos. As my van progresses, now yours are pretty much all I need. Thanks!

    Very well done, as there's no loud background music to interfere with your narrative. I suggest two rollers, one about and inch or two wide for area application and the second being about 3/8" wide for channels. One will get a higher compression using narrow rollers, thus a better and easier application. One can knock on body panels to see which ones do not have a bulkhead as they are not like a panel that's "open". Just having a bit of coffee before I resume the install of Kilmat in my 4 liter powered 1987 Jeep Cherokee which has the same aerodynamics of your brick shaped cargo van, just a bit smaller (humor). The Kilmat is a decoupler, while insulation and carpeting provides noise reduction as well. You will also notice that bedding and mattress will also absorb noise. Anyone who has ever opened or built a properly made sub (i.e. non-band pass) enclosure will comprehend this.

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss  7 місяців тому +1

      Yes, a more narrow roller would help but that’s all I had on hand and it got the job done😆 Good luck on your install!

    after a few years was it worth to install that much kilmat (or install at all for that matter) since apparently thinsulate has a good noise attenuation property?

    I used Noico. I had cut my rear floor section carefully to a tight tolerance. Then I put the Noico on the wheel wells with very little overlap. I did another dry fit of the floor and it no longer fit over the wheel wells. D'oh.

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss  Рік тому

      Oh no, I ended up having the same issue! Thankfully I left just enough wiggle room with the subfloor to push it down over. I would recommend to anyone else to hold off on the wheel well sound deadening until the subfloor is installed. Thanks for the comment, David!

    Really liked this video. You said that others say they felt it made a difference while others said they don't. Now that you've done it, have you noticed a difference? I'm sure you've driven it before and after and would assume you can tell.

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss  2 роки тому

      I’ve only driven the van once since installing the sound deadening. Personally I hear a difference when in the van my voice doesn’t echo as much and road noise isn’t as noticeable. It isn’t completely sound proof and may never be, but my insulation, walls and ceiling will help make it even more sound proof. So overall I see a difference, nothing too drastic though.

    So if you use the 3m thinsulate, do you do it in pieces like you have done, or do you cover all surfaces where it will be used for insulation also.

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss  11 місяців тому +1

      I cut individual pieces for 3M thinsulate so I can fill every cavity but still have access to the van supports to attach furring strips, run wires etc.
      If you are referring to the sound deadening, you only need 25% coverage.
      Hope this helps!

    kilmat is more weight. All the things you have in your drawers will be what makes the most noise. I think you should kilmat the wheel well but its a waste of money to put it anywhere else. You could add one more 100A battery or a solar panel for the same amount of weight.

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss  8 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the comment. Kilmat is up to personal preference. Some people swear by it, others may feel differently. Yes, it does add more weight, cost more money, and takes time, but it does result in a noticeable sound difference in the van. However, once you start adding insulation, floors, ceiling and cabinetry - that also helps to eliminate the sound of a metal box. So again, up to personal preference.

    Just FYI, it's not "80 millimeter", it's "80 mil", where a "mil" is a thousandth of an inch. It's 80 thousandths thick.

  • @peterstubbs8587
    @peterstubbs8587 2 роки тому +2

    Just to clarify, it isn't 80mm, it's 80 mil. 1 mil is 1000th of an inch (an antiquated increment that only the US still uses). 80mm is around 3 inches. So that is a huge difference. I just don't want people searching the internet for the wrong thing. The US really needs to adopt the metric system, and catch up with the rest of the world.
