Sound Deadening

Transform your noisy panel van into a quiet, comfortable living space. Our professional-grade sound deadening mats and rolls are designed to eliminate panel rattle, significantly reduce road noise, and stop vibrations. Easy to cut, peel, and apply, this is a crucial first step for any high-quality campervan conversion project.

PRO TIP:- For the best acoustic and thermal results, apply sound deadening directly to the bare metal before adding your insulation layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much lining carpet do I need for my campervan conversion?
The amount of carpet depends on your van's size. As a general guide:
  • Short Wheelbase (SWB) (e.g., VW Transporter SWB): ~18sq meters.
  • Medium Wheelbase (MWB) (e.g., Ducato MWB): ~24sq meters.
  • Long Wheelbase (LWB) (e.g., VW Crafter, Mercedes Sprinter): ~15-18 meters.
Note: If you are covering the roof of the cab area, we recommend adding an extra 2-3 sq meters just to be safe.
Why should I choose a 4-way stretch carpet over standard automotive carpet?
Our 4-way stretch carpet is highly pliable and specifically designed for tricky campervan contours. It stretches in all four directions, making it incredibly easy to mold around window curves, wheel arches, and complex panels without wrinkling or tearing. This ensures a smooth, professional finish even for DIY beginners.
What type of adhesive is best for van lining?
We strongly recommend using High-Temperature Spray Adhesive. Campervans act like metal boxes and can get extremely hot inside during summer. Standard glues will melt under this heat, causing your carpet to sag over time. Our high-heat adhesive ensures a durable, permanent bond under extreme temperatures.
Can I apply the carpet directly to the bare metal panels of the van?
Yes, our carpet can be applied directly to clean, bare metal. However, for the best thermal and acoustic results, we highly recommend applying sound deadening and insulation first, followed by plywood paneling, and finally gluing the carpet to the wood.
What tools do I need to install the lining carpet?
You will need a sharp Stanley knife (with plenty of extra blades), high-temperature spray adhesive, a good pair of scissors, and a tape measure. A smoothing tool or clean roller can also help to press the carpet firmly and evenly against the surface.
