    when I did research for insulating my enclosed trailer, I was amazed about how no one seemed to have a consensus on the best insulation except for Spray foam insulation (That even has downsides like clean up afterword). sealing it completely has downsides because the trailer can't breathe and leaving it breathable can have issues also like letting moisture in and it might not dry itself out. I ended up deciding to go with owens corning pink foam boards with a pressure fit. I did not seal the boards, the boards are moisture resistant and wanted any leaks to run down to floor and leak out the trailer. good luck with this insulation.

    I like Havelock, but I will mention a plus for Thinsulate is not worrying about it after installation. I put it up with 3M 90 spray adhesive 9 years ago, and its still in place, including the ceiling. How do I know for sure? Because I'm an extra lazy van builder and never got around to putting up finished walls or ceiling, so the Thinsulate has been my decor.

    I would not want the wires in the insulation. I would run channels of PVC tubes to run the wires through so they are easy to replace without tearing the van walls apart if you have wiring issues or want to run more wires for additional items later on.

    those stick pins are common for insulating hvac ducts, and just cut the pins off using any kind of cutters after you install the retainer disc. I would likely use rockwool for the lowest foot, for the wet issues, but options and weight.

    Regarding the Frost King liner that was put on below the Havelock insulation. There are some common misconceptions about how IR reflectors work. One of the biggest is not knowing that it needs a significant free air space (at least a half of an inch, but ideally .75" and greater) between the heat source and the surface of the IR reflector to reflect the heat. By putting the Havelock wool directly on top of the aluminized plastic, you have ruined its ability to reflect IR well (or possibly completely).
    You should have put the IR reflector on top of the Havelock insulation. And if doing that, a needle punctured, slightly breathable type should be used so that the Havelock wool below can exchange moisture.

    • @ToryDelury
      @ToryDelury  День тому

      I didn’t use the Frost King for that purpose, I used it as a thermal break :) I made a full video on it, explaining how it works, and testing to show the results!

    • @justinw1765
      @justinw1765 День тому

      @@ToryDelury Hi there, I just watched part of that video. A couple of times you mentioned radiant heat. That's just a different term for IR (and IR is an abbreviation for infrared aka "heat" energy) .
      Again, IR reflectors need a free air space between their surface and the source of heat to reflect heat back.
      Regarding the testing, I suspect that the Frost King did as well as it did, not because of the aluminized surface (which potentially is an IR/radient heat reflector), but because it has a backing of foam. Foam is a really good insulator in both a conductive and convection sense.
      Aluminized plastics are often used in attics as a "radient heat barrier", but to be used correctly, they have to be put on the outside, hanging away from the insulation and walls. If the insulation is touching the inside of the aluminized plastic, it won't "block" (read, reflect) the radient heat coming in from Solar heat gain, but it will still reflect the IR/radient heat coming up from inside the house since the shiny side is facing that with free air space.
      With an air gap on both sides of these double aluminumized plastics (i.e. both sides are shiny), it will reflect both radient heat from Solar gain and radient heat/IR from inside the house.
      I'm not trying to be critical or nitpicking, but just explaining how these things really work, so that you and others know for the future. IR/radient heat reflectors are a great idea to use, but if not used properly, they really don't do anything.
      Cheers
      P.S. There are even some construction folks that do not fully understand or know the above (and radient heat barriers are somewhat commonly installed improperly).

    • @justinw1765
      @justinw1765 День тому

      @@ToryDelury To give a bit of context or background. I make my own vacuum insulated panels at home. I know a bit about insulation and "thermal breaks" (which is just another term for thermal insulation i.e. something that slows down heat energy exchange from one area to another).
      I'm also in the middle of prototyping a cooler, or rather mini fridge that doesn't use any electricity to cool, but uses the IR sky window and radiating heat/IR up into space to work to lose heat and thus cool things down.
      (Unfortunately, such a system has weaknesses, such as clouds and high humidity interfere with the above process, and really reduce the efficiency, and it needs to be outside to work at all to begin with).

    You probably smell the lanolin in the wool, not the wool itself. I think I'd rather use rockwool, totally inert. And unless your walls are very sloppy, there should be no danger of inhaling it, either.
    Look online for a "nail puller" od "nail nipper", they are tools built to cut protruding nails flush. Just take a bite off each nail to shorten them.

      The best solution is spray foam. It gets in every nook and cranny, self adheres, and seals the wall so moisture cannot make it to the cold surfaces and it has double the R value.
      It pretty permanent and would be a bit of work to level the inside surface off.
      I assume she isn't using it because she has some issues with the foam or the blowing agents. Though I think most of the modern foams don't use hazardous blowing agents. If those other products are acceptable I don't see why foam wouldn't be either.
