DISCLAIMER: Hi everyone it's Julie! I just wanted to say that our introduction to this video is a satirical, light-hearted riff, not intended to promote changing your body in anyway. Ben and I both promote positive body image as well as being healthy and confident in yourself!
In this video we walk you through some of the many benefits of using wool to insulate your van as well as the process we took in order to do it.
If you'd like to give Havelock Wool a try, go check out their website here:
havelockwool.com/van-insulati...
Be sure to reference their van chart where they recommend the amount of wool you will need depending on what type of van and size it is you have.
The insulation process is fairly straight forward. The biggest thing you will need to consider is how you will keep the wool attached to your van walls and ceiling. We ended up using some mold resistant nylon string.
String : amzn.to/3J3Dz6D
Another thing to consider is something that can aid you in packing those hard to get to hollow cavities within in your van. We ended up using a broken dowel rod, a kabob skewer, and a wire fish. Feel free to get creative here!
Wire Fish Tape : amzn.to/3J4pfe6

When you installed the permanent walls, the moisture gets locked in the wool and has no where to go. Good job! 🤣🤣 You have to vapor lock the walls and ceiling to avoid/prevent all moisture buildup.

Wool is one of the best, if not the best option. But I wonder about sagging and about it touching the metal. Like let's take sagging - I think it definitely happens, with time, a lot of it sagging and just leaving a lot of wall basically without insulation (I think I saw some photos of that), and I'm not sure what would be the solution to that. Probably just periodically adding more wool? But that's assuming it won't start to get moldy... Vans are kind of terrible if one wants to use wool/organic materials, with all those cavities and it being all metal/worst thermal bridging. But these are the risks and disadvantages one should take in order to avoid using less sustainable materials/materials that emit VOCs.

Hey there! For our size van we ended up using 5 boxes, each 100sqft. We originally only ordered 400sqft but we laid it on pretty thick and ended up ordering an extra box towards the end. I think it depends on just how insulated you really want your van to be.

Also, if you're looking to dampen road noise I would add do a noise treatment in the front cab that is easy to do. It's 3 parts -- CLD tiles to eliminate the pinging noise, then a Mass Loaded Vinyl sheet with Close Cell Foam -- that will kill road noise big time in the CAB part at least

@@dogcatmanvan I think of it in terms of a house, you wouldn't skip insulating a wall in a house right? You want an fully enclosed and insulated space as much as possible (The firewall and windows are not directly doable). Plus, if you do the doors it will give you a chance to help with reducing road noise. I am not sure how complicated those doors would be, but I've done treatments in the past to car doors before for car audio purposes and it's always worth it just for the road noise alone.

It's completely up to you whether you insulate the headliner or not. It helps with noise reduction in the cab, but you can always add a divider so you can section off that front area. You loose a lot of the hot/cold in your van from the cab through the windows and door seems regardless of insulating the headliner. The wool shouldn't sag if you have it held in place behind your walls properly.

How tight did you stuff it? The air space inside the wool is part of the insulation value. Looks like your project took 3 times the amount of wool recommended. Curious to know how well the insulation works when packed this tight .. (I'm a veteran wool spinner and knitter, so have been working with wool for many many years). Have you found that packing it tighter is more efficient??

Do you guys plan on using Reflectix on the inside after the wool? I hear mixed opinions about that.. like it's almost useless as a reflector of radiant heat once it passes the steel exterior of the van, and it's expensive... I was just thinking of using standard vapor barrier instead.
@MaximC
@MaximC 2 жыл бұрын
From what I understood, unless you leave/make some space between reflectix and the van walls - it's useless to apply reflectix. And regarding vapor barrier - one should not use it (the walls should be able to "breathe") or one should use a kind of vapor barrier that can become permeable (like Intello I believe). Also I've heard from someone that they didn't use vapor barrier in the floor, because he saw that it created mold inside the floor. One should really understand a bit the technology of insulation first, because some ideas like using vapor barrier and such may seem clever when in actuality they aren't. P.S. Also you might want to check out Moser Makes' videos, he made some good ones too.

great Video as always. I have used a havelock wool is ok product. BUT it's too expensive and a pain in the ass to work with. All my vans I build I use micro cell foam and layer 3m insulation in them. This process isn't cheap but its not back ordered and you get twice the R value then Havelock wool and Super easy to work with. PS you use way too much insulation those walls need to breathe.. One more question how long did it take you to insulate the van? I just insulated a 170 extended sprinter yesterday and it took one day. you spend over $1000 to insulate that van and labor . I' would be out of van business using that product.

If we were able to put a full days worth of work into it, it probably would've been a day and a half or 2 days working 8hr/day. The total cost of our insulation was $750 which is pretty cheap not including our labor. I think it just boils down to the type of product you want to support. I know that's not always feasible from a business stand point.

I think it just comes down to where you plan on running your wires. If you think you're going to fish wiring through small cavities that will end up needing to be filled with insulation, it's a lot easier to fish those wires when the cavities are empty, ie non insulated, rather than having to fish the wires through the cavities already stuffed full of insulation. Does that make sense?

You don't want wool in your walls if you live in a humid environment, air circulation is poor inside a wall. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in water and it needs air movement around it to allow any moisture to evaporate.

After over 2 years in my van, in Canada, I can say that moisture most definitely DOES accumulate between the wool and the van shell. Often a lot. I also had to replace the rear tail light assembly in my Promaster because moisture shorted it. There was Havelock wool in that cavity. I'm not convinced of the moisture management claims, but have no scientific proof without tearing my van apart to assess for rust.
@MaximC
@MaximC 2 жыл бұрын
@@katydidnt3906 Yeah, it's a tricky thing with vans. The problem with vans is that one doesn't have flat walls (like one has in a tiny house on wheels, for example). Because if one had flat walls, one could just apply a layer of insulation that would create an air gap between the metallic walls and the wool, and the condensation wouldn't be a problem. Or if vans were slightly wider, one could have just not bother with the cavities and apply that layer of insulation (that creates the air gap) and the wool right on top of the walls. That would've been perfect. I think they can make wider vans, I mean according what's allowed legally on the roads. I wonder if manufacturers will eventually have wider versions, for those who want to do a van conversion.
@MaximC
@MaximC 2 жыл бұрын
If only vans were slightly wider. We could apply the insulation right on top without bothering with the cavities, have straight layers of insulation, an air gap layer first and then the wool, and have no issues with condensation or mold. Like we do in tiny houses on wheels. But with the current dimensions, if we were to do that, it probably would mean sacrifice too much space inside the van.

Reflextix is not near as good as Dynamat Extreme, then the wool on top.

If you're speaking to the use of electricity in the processing of the wool, you can check out Havelock's website where they transparently discuss sustainability and their end to end process inputs and outputs. havelockwool.com/sustainable-insulation/

Why not use glue? Seems like it will sag like grandma's tataas.

It still sags with glue. The layers come apart over time.

“Their manufacturing process uses electricity rather than other non-renewable resources like fossil fuel.” That’s most absurd.

you would be much better off with good old fashioned fiberglass. wool is probably the worst.

We make out great in the winter with our heat retention, and our rig is way quieter and cozier than others we've been in. No regrets here!
