When it comes to van conversions, insulation is one of the most important decisions. It directly affects comfort, condensation, noise, energy consumption... and even the durability of the vehicle.
At Vanlife by Canada RV, we are proud to introduce a new product that is still relatively unknown in Canada: sprayed cork insulation. It's an innovative, eco-friendly, and high-performance solution—and best of all, we are the only ones who distribute and install it in Canada.
Why insulation is a major issue in vanlife
Unlike a house, a van is constantly exposed to extreme temperature variations, humidity, and road vibrations. Poor insulation can quickly lead to:
• condensation and humidity problems
• significant heat loss in winter
• overheating in summer
• odors, mold, and premature deterioration of materials
This is exactly where cork insulation makes all the difference.
What is sprayed cork insulation?
Cork insulation is a natural material that is mixed with water and then sprayed directly onto the surfaces of the van. It perfectly conforms to shapes, curves, and hard-to-reach areas, without joints or thermal bridges.
The result: continuous, durable, and effective insulation that is perfectly suited to vans... and even tiny houses!
The main advantages of cork insulation
1. Exceptional thermal insulation
Cork insulation can withstand temperatures ranging from -30°C to +180°C.
It helps to retain heat in winter and keep interiors cooler in summer, thereby reducing heating and air conditioning requirements.
2. A natural barrier against condensation
Thanks to its hygrometric properties, cork limits the dew point and helps control humidity.
Less condensation = less mold, fewer odors, and a longer-lasting interior.
3. Improved acoustic comfort
In addition to thermal insulation, cork provides sound insulation of up to 19 dB.
Ideal for reducing road, wind, or rain noise: a real bonus for everyday comfort.
4. Excellent fire resistance
Cork insulation is virtually non-combustible.
This is an important safety feature, especially in a confined space such as a van.
5. An eco-friendly and healthy choice
Cork is a natural material, certified free of biocides and fungicides, and therefore free of harmful emissions.
It is an environmentally friendly solution that also improves the air quality inside your van.
6. Proven durability
Cork insulation is designed to last.
It has an estimated lifespan of 10 years and comes with a 10-year warranty, making it a reliable long-term investment.
