How much carpet liner do I need?
It’s recommended that you use five metres of lining for a small van, such as a VW Caddy or a Ford Transit Connect.
You should use this ten-metre product for lining a short wheel-base (L1) vehicle, like the VW Transporter of Ford Transit Custom Conversion, this includes headlining.
If you’re using carpet to line a long wheel-base (L2) vehicle, then we recommend that you use 12 metres of lining, this also accounts for headlining.
What is four-way stretch carpet?
Four-way stretch carpet allows you to fit carpet to your panels easily and quickly. The carpet stretches in four directions, so it can be pulled and pushed into areas as you adhere it. Easily move the fabric into those awkward nooks and crannies.
Ultra-stretch is the simplest carpet to fit and will work with you in challenging circumstances. Thanks to the stretchy properties, the material is also form fitting, should you be lining areas not so flat.
How do I carpet line a camper van?
There are different ways to carpet line your van, but it’s recommended that you insulate the interior panels and then line the insulated panels with plywood for a flat surface. You then want to glue the four-way ultra-stretch carpet to the plywood.
Hang the carpet from high, where the ceiling meets the wall, and spray a small row of glue adhesive to the panel and to the back of the corresponding carpet area. Apply pressure from the top of the glued area and then downwards and outwards, then proceed to apply pressure over the newly glued area for about 30 seconds.
Continue the process and guide the stretchy carpet into areas across curves and work it into corners. Ensure there’s sufficient coverage of glue across all areas for a well job done.
You can fit the carpet to bare metal using spray adhesive, but you will need to insulate the pillars of the van with spray foam or an alternative to prevent cold bridging from the exterior to the interior of the van.
Four-way ultra-stretch carpet is the easiest carpet to line the sides of your project van. If you’re not confident in fitting it yourself, it’s recommended that you take your van to a professional fitter or conversion company.
