Sound Deadening + Super Liner | Fiat Ducato | UK Self-Build Campervan Conversion

The van build continues with the installation of Silent Coat 2mm Sound Deadening Sheets followed by Dodomat 6mm Super Liner closed cell foam. The sound deadening helps to reduce the tinny, hollow sounding metal sound of a panel van by adding mass to each panel. We used one sheet on each large panel and half a sheet on the smaller ones. We also used it on the floor, in strips, on the ceiling and on the MASSIVE wheel arches! Overall it does make a difference, particularly when driving, and feels like the first step to making this panel van a home on wheels. The next thing we decided to do was install 6mm closed cell foam insulation on op of the sound deadening. Most people don't seem to do this although it does appear popular on conversions in Europe. The foam acts as a noise reducer, insulator and (in my mind at least) helps to reduce the amount of bare metal and hopefully helps to minimise condensation. I'm not convinced on the science of this but for a bit of extra time and effort we wanted to do it. Let us know if you have any questions about our approach or how this could work for you.

We've always wanted a camper van and took the plunge in 2020 by ordering a brand new medium wheelbase (L2H2) Fiat Ducato. We are converting it ourselves into the van of our dreams with little previous experience. We're glad to have you along for the ride! =========================== FOLLOW US You can follow our build in real time over on Instagram....   / ourvanplan   =========================== #vanbuild​ #campervanconversion​ #vanconversion #fiatducato #ukcampervanconversion #fiatducatocampervan
