Would the Dodo Dead Mat Duo be a suitable substitute for the Dead Mat and Van Liner? All suppliers are out of stock of Van Liner (and Thermo Fleece 🤦🏻♂️)
Hi mate, if you were to use the dodo dead mat duo for the sides also could that replace both the silent coat deadening sheets snd the thermo liner? Also is there other products you’d advise to use for the sides and roof as thermo liner is out of stock!
@@CombeValleyCampers Hey there, How does the condensation and mold get managed when doing insulation with Thermo Fleece right up against the walls? I have no experience with building but I want to make sure I don't get condensed water to cause mold and rot inside the walls. Please assist :3
Great video. My only small criticism is I found the music too loud and the speaking too quiet. I had to keep putting the volume up and down to even it out!
Fin Lay : Agreed. In fact it would be so much better without the music as a good tradesman or do it yourselfer is good to watch with only his speaking or the sound of his work or tools to hear. Also might have been good if he had a mike on him as his voice sounds strange due to distance from the mike.
@@kassiedreaneai7459 Hi guys, thanks for your comments. This is one of our earliest videos, and we like to think we have improved now. Just goes to show we are van builders first, not videographers, but we are improving every video!
On my 2009 I stripped my panels after watching this video, and found it had not a single piece of sound deadner in the whole vehicle, have now done floor ,rear doors and one panel so far and it's already made a massive difference !!!! Thanks guys
Great video. Used Silent coat before - good stuff. One thing to add is that if you van is fitted with seatbelt pretensioners don’t fill the cavity that houses the seatbelt assembly with wool/foam insulation. Potential fire risk in a crash. T5’s don’t have pretensioners as you guys know but I thought I’d mention it in case any of your viewers are doing different vans. Keep the vids coming!
Great series I love how much detail you go into explaining the do's and dont's also showing the best products you use and why you have chosen to use those suppliers . ive subscribed because of the way you explain things in such detail and yeh theres other guys to watch but you make a better job of it and keep it simple with great hints and tips as well . im loving this series mate keep it up … Brilliant Job :)
I spent most of this winter in a completely uninsulated van. Granted, temps in my area usually don't drop much below 4C, but, with a good sleeping bag, it's managable. Only reason I'd need insulation is for road noise during those times I'm "forced" to sleep on a relatively busy street (rather not wear earplugs).
You might want to consider wearing external ear protection. It limits your sleeping positions a bit, but it's more comfortable and easier to take on and off than earplugs. I find i t's usually better than trying to sleep with sound in the background.
Fantastic. Use this and here's why. I need to find U.S. equivalents and/or check the shipping prices, but there's nothing quite like having a professional giving this kind of advice.
I did my wheel arches and remaining panels today, I discovered heating the mat once I had finished and then going over with the roller smoothed it all out really well and really defined the arches , carpets next !!! Your videos have been great and gave me the confidence to have a go.
Great vid, can I ask why do most other vids on van soundeadening only show people fitting small squares that do not cover the entire visible panel like yours? Your vid was the first I’ve seen that covers all the panel surface?
I've found that the sound deadening works great, but I abide by the 25% rule; after that it decreases the decibel level but it does not actually deaden the van any further. After the 25% I move over to sound insulating foam - it's lighter, does not deaden but that is already achieved - and decreases the db levels.
Wow brilliant there's so much information on insulation and a lot of it conflicting, you've nailed it and given me inspiration by way of knowledge on how to do it right
Found this the most comprehensive video, straight through all the different layers, very helpful, some UA-camrs try break it up as hooks for the next layer, next video, thank you. Can't see what thickness Super liner you used for the floor..
Thank you very much, Ive just started looking into buying a van to convert , With the way you show how to do things is a massive help it has gave me a confidence boost to go ahead. I will be using your links to get materials. kind regards..
This is SUPER helpful! I’m currently converting a caddy maxi and been scared to go at it, but this has made me feel much more confident about giving it a go! Cheers dude. Subbed & Liked!
About to deaden/insulate aT5 as a day van. From other videos it seems you are better using a roller to guarantee the Silent Coat is fully bonded to the panels instead of just using hand pressure. Certainly any vehicles I have done in the past I have used a roller. Very informative series of videos, thanks, have subscribed.
Thank you for your kind words. We have used rollers in the past and still do for tricky areas but the adhesive is so good on the silent coat it really isn't necessary.
Thank you so much! What do you put over the Thermo Fleece as the final layer? Don't you need a moisture barrier? Or do you just place the cladding onto the Thermo Fleece?
Hi! Great video, very useful! I was wondering if you had any experience on using Armaflex vs Dodomat, and if so, what made you use Dodomat over Armaflex? Considering using about the same thickness.. Cheers!
I watched another youtube video recently and the guy was using your products but used them in the order of Silent Coat, Thermo Fleece and finally Thermo Liner. I believe his theory was that the Thermo liner was best used as the final layer to act as a vapour/moisture barrier to the Thermo Fleece. He also covered the ENTIRE walls in it. Would you recommend this?
Yes thats what I was thinking one should do as well. As most videos include a vapor seal with the reflective material towards inside of the van. I wish you could have mentioned what YT video so as I could view this other method too. Good comment.
i have to agree. I think its good advice to put the moisture barrier as the most inner layer to stop moisture from reaching your insulating layers.This will stop the moisture reaching the outer/colder layers where it would condense and cause water in the bottom the cavity - basically avoiding what he said at the start if the video. i can't understand why these professionals don't follow basic principles for this.
@@athertop So what happens when you get moisture behind the vapour barrier which I believe would be bound to occur at some point however well you think you have done it. It would be trapped and have nowhere to go and rot your van. Ventilation is the key to keeping moisture from condensing and trying to seal a van up is counterproductive. think these videos are really professional and make practical sense but at the end of the day its your vehicle and your choice but just because someone has a different opinion it doesn't make it invalid or unprofessional.
hi, thoroughly enjoyed this video and really informative, iv just purchased a vauxwagen crafter elwb, and a caravan as donor vehicle, the areas that need carpeting im going to use your comments, even though im a joiner by trade you make it look so easy ,im going t order a lot more to allow for mistakes, I have joined your site and look forward to more videos once again well done regards tony
Thanks for these handy dandy videos. With the deadening on the floor, how do you then fix batten down to take the ply floor? I want to avoid screwing into the base and have seen battens glued directly to metal body but if it has the deadening over will I be able to effectively adhesive the batten onto the foil back sound insulation? Cheers
Thanks so much for this video. I’ve basically done so much research that I’ve totally lost what order and what product I need and what order to use them! I pick up my van this week and so I feel like this channel might just be the reason I won’t freeze at night! What’s the minimum coverage of the dodo sound deadening. Some people say 30% - 50% but it looks like you’re using as much as you can on the outside wall? Thanks again!
I'm confused with the self stick insulation. I can understand it with the deadening but with the insulation don't you need to have a vapor barrier between the insulation and the metal of the van?
Practical informative video, thanks. I have been hearing great things about the properties of real wool insulation ie, mould suppression, R values and off gassing. Any thoughts.
Just a heads up I put insulation in my van that didn't have any, I had carpeted walls. Added insulation for the summer and all it did was change the time the van is hot. Its complete pointless if you are not in very cold areas and as someone who's running a 1500WH battery I'm already avoiding cold climates since I have no real decent way of charging back up with solar.
Just done the back of my Proace van with 2 x30 boxes of the deadener , doors shut like a roller now , think i will just stuff in the recycled Thermo fleese in now should be better than before also i just carpeted the stock ply panels much nicer inside now so i can use it as a camper as well as work.
Great helpful vid. Just a question. With doing the floor, would you place any sound deadening/ insulation down first and place batons on top, or batons first then sound deadening/ insulation in the gaps to then place floor on top? Thanks
Hi Martin, thanks for your question. I have used lots of different products in the past from different suppliers and found this combination to be most effective for my customers vehicles.
Are you supposed to cover most of the van with the sound deadening. I saw people tend to just stick one patch in the middle of each big metal element... I do understand that if you cover the whole interior with it, can only be better, although more time consuming and expensive. What is the middle ground to get the most of it? Thanks for clarifying
Thanks for all your help. You’re always very careful on how you tell us how to do stuff which I’m appreciate of But for speed, what I would say after you fit the one side dry and it fits why not copy it for the other side
The intro music's Db level needs to be matched to the rest of the video. It's so much louder, when it kicked in it was like a bomb explosion coming out of my speakers. LOL
Great video! In process on doing my first van now. Just a quick question. Would you just put silent coat sound deadener on ceiling or something on top of it before you carpet it? Thanks
This may be a long shot and sound totally bonkers but here goes. I hear every single thing my upstairs neighbors do. They are lovely people. Not partying ,, very considerate. Its the building that's the problem. If there was ever any sound proofing in the my ceiling or their floor, It's now gone. Could i use Sound Coat on my ceiling to block out some of the noise?
Good job. Question - is this style of insulation and sound proofing as good or better than using a wood frame and paneling which seems a waste of space inside the van.
Really silly question but when sound proofing rhe floor do you just put the silent coat and insulation layer inbetween the raised bits or just cover the whole floor?
You don’t need to sound deaden the floor. If its got corrugations that provides rigidity and therefore tempers vibration and is sound deadened anyway. You only need to sound deaden large panels Think of old cars; at certain speeds the whole bonnet would resonate.
If you are going to ply line the sides,doors and ceiling... Can you still use the fluffy bottle insulation under it? If not... And you have attached the fluffy white stuff, what do you cover it with. If not using carpet, is the system still the same.. Desdening+ second layer of silver+ fluffy insulation?
Good vid cheers Quick one...How much pressure do you need to apply with the roller on sound deadening mats ,,, a quick rligjt oll over or really pressing down with force to ensure it sticks?
Is it possible to get a ballpark figure as to very roughly how much it would cost to fit this insulation? I have a 2004 ford transit van which has been converted into a liveable van and it’s not insulated. I was wanting to do the ceiling and walls only at this stage . I know it would be a very rough figure but just want to know a estimate please to see if it was worth it or just work on getting a new van thank you
Quick question. Is it worth / necessary to put on the first two layers, given that they both have sound deadening qualities? Would the second layer be enough on it's own to deal with the sound? Also, is there a product that deals with both the sound deadening and total thermal insulation in one? Many thanks.
Hi, I want to sound proof and insulate my T6 SWB and wanted to know how much of each product i need, Want to do the floor, sides and roof, great video...
greats videos. really helping me alot for my upcoming build. my only question is for the bits of metal still showing should i be putting thermal on there then lining carpet on top of it?
So.... if the thermo van liner is an insulation and also a sound deadener, does it make a big difference having the thinner deadening material underneath it?

Awesome 😎 cheers for the advice 👌🏻
is it better to stick the thinner material on the roof to save space or is it ok to go for the larger stuff?
Good job. Question - is this style of insulation and sound proofing as good or better than using a wood frame and paneling which seems a waste of space inside the van.
I'd think the wood frame gives you the basis to fit your cladding, cupboard etc.. rather than something to fit your insulation into.
Really silly question but when sound proofing rhe floor do you just put the silent coat and insulation layer inbetween the raised bits or just cover the whole floor?
You don’t need to sound deaden the floor. If its got corrugations that provides rigidity and therefore tempers vibration and is sound deadened anyway.
You only need to sound deaden large panels
Think of old cars; at certain speeds the whole bonnet would resonate.
If you are going to ply line the sides,doors and ceiling... Can you still use the fluffy bottle insulation under it?
If not... And you have attached the fluffy white stuff, what do you cover it with.
If not using carpet, is the system still the same.. Desdening+ second layer of silver+ fluffy insulation?

Is there any need for a vapour barrier? Any problems with condensation/mould etc?

In the remaining (internal) metal, carpet is fine
Hi mate. Great video. What do you do to the floor please ? Did I miss something
So.... if the thermo van liner is an insulation and also a sound deadener, does it make a big difference having the thinner deadening material underneath it?
Do you insulate the ceiling as well? I'm thinking of boiling hot days camping out in the sun.
Why not install it from the outside of the van? It'd definitely be much easier...would it be as effective?
When would you install electrics? Would you not pre install cables before the insulation?
Also wondering this
Cant the soundproofing and isolation be mad by spraying some kind of foam instead of the three different panels?
Sup! Thanks for the video! One question, I noticed the roof had done in strips.. any reason? Cheers!
