  • Cheers for a straight forward install idea!

  • Dude I work as HVAC energy I guy I thought the same thing about all these people not understanding about this foam panel insulation, do not cut it or as little as possible, support under it not around it .... thumbs up !!

  • I Installed 1/2" Automotive grade high density rubber. Reflectix on top of that. Then laid 10mm XP Pergo flooring in my van. No wood to Rot. Mold, Mildew etc.. As that stuff as an R value of 9 without Reflectix as a radiant barrier and the flooring added...Been 8 years.. Plus I get the benefit of sound deadening...Best Decision I ever made. Along with 3M 600L Insulation and foil radiant barrier seam sealed. I can cool my van to 67 degree. Using nothing but a 6k BTU Ac unit....

  • New sub! I've been looking for someone to make sense of insulating my van floor without turning it into a sticks and bricks construction job. Like you said everybody wants to build frames for things and I knew that wasn't necessary. Just had to find somebody who knew how to do it the right way, thanks.

  • One thing to note. When using this in a house, yes you can lay boards directly on top, then flooring. But in a house you don’t need to screw anything down into the floor because it dose not move. In a van there may be a need to screw items into the floor. Because of the make up of the PIR board the grab adhesive used is only touching the foil layer top and bottom which rips off very easily. If not using a frame bolting through the steel floor of the van would be best practice.

    • Wouldn't screwing into the 1/2" plywood subfloor be secure enough? Wouldn't be relying on the insulation for any support

      @shevy5000@shevy500011 ай бұрын

  • nice! I would have painted the ply subfloor with Killz just in case.

    • Yep, and plonk lino on top, as there's no joins to deal with, and the expansion and contraction with heat (the peel and stick ones are the worst, the glue fails in the head)

  • I think I'd go for the pir foam without foil. It's closed cell and pretty much a vapour barrier on its own. Use a good quality roll vinyl NOT planks as that is genuinely 100% waterproof. Once the cabinets etc are fixed in the floor ain't going anywhere... Good video thanks. Definitely no sticks and bricks In my van

  • I’m pretty sure people put a frame to have something to screw their plywood and/or furniture into, not because they think it’ll get messed up when they walk on it. That’s why I did it anyway..
