Van insulation: what to choose ?
William Simard

When it comes to van conversions, insulation is one of the most important steps—especially with Quebec's highly variable climate. Good insulation allows you to enjoy your van all year round, without overheating in the summer or freezing in the winter.

And among the most effective materials on the market, one name comes up often: 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation.


Why choose Thinsulate? 

Designed by 3M, this high-end material is recognized worldwide, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries. Lightweight, flexible, and durable, it is perfectly suited to the needs of vanlifers.

Here's why it stands out:

• Exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation: keeps you warm in winter, cool in summer, and reduces road noise.

• Moisture and mold resistance: unlike wool or foam, it doesn't retain water or deteriorate.

• Breathable material: promotes air circulation and prevents condensation.

• Simple installation and suitable for every van model

In short, Thinsulate combines performance, durability, and ease of installation: a real asset for your comfort on the road.
