How much carpet liner do I need?
It’s recommended that you use this five-metre carpet for lining a smaller van, such as a VW Caddy or a Ford Transit Connect.
You should use ten-metre carpet 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 with ease. The carpet stretches in all four directions, so it can be forced and stretched into places as you form it over the panels. It’s very simple install and to manipulate the fabric into those awkward nooks and crannies.
Ultra-stretch is the simplest carpet to fit and will work with you in even challenging circumstances. Thanks to the superb stretch, the material is also form fitting, should you be lining areas less flat.
How do I carpet line a camper van?
There are different ways to line your vans interior, but it’s recommended that you insulate the interior panels first. Then line the insulated panels with plywood to provide a neat flat surface. Then you can glue the four-way ultra-stretch carpet to the plywood.
Start with the carpet edge high up, and spray a small row of glue adhesive to the panel. Spray to the back of the corresponding carpet area and then apply pressure from the top of the glued area and then downwards and outwards. Follow by applying pressure over the newly glued area for about 30 seconds.
Continue the process and guide and stretch the 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, and skip the wooden panel part, but you should insulate the pillars of the van with spray foam or an alternative first. This will 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.
