SmasherWebbs Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Looking for a low cost ,hard wearing material for both flooring and roof lining. I would really like something with some sound insulation also. Anyone know of a company that sells what im looking for or know of any alternatives.

Big.Mike Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Try mega van mats (just google it) a mate was doing his VW and sourced from these guys... The pin hole black vinyl us really nice. I'd go for rubber flooring though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have recentlly insulated and retrimmed the roof and rear of my 110 hardtop. Still got to do the front though. After stripping it out and cleaning I applied flashing tape to roof, sides, wheel boxes and floors. Followed by 25mm Kingspan on roof and side panels. All areas not covered I used Wickes bitumen waterproofing stuff, cause I had some already n thought it'd cut down condensation. Insulated it all then used 3mm ply for sides n wheel boxes covered in Veltrim vehicle carpet. 2mm mdf for the roof covered in a faux leather from Dunelm Mills and used 3mm chequer plate rubber matting for floor n 2mm chequer plate rubber matting for seatbox and footwells. Got the ply from local timber merchants. Kingspan from builders yard. Veltrim, chequer plate rubber matting, Mdf sheets n adhesive spray came from Harrison Trim Supplies .co.uk. On eBay too as "toeragstruckmats". Pretty impressed so far, it's definitely warmer, cured the condensation but I am hoping the bulk of the noise will decrease when I finish cab area n seatbox. Hope this helps. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Ha See your point for defo. When I got it the previous owner had fitted the back out in 12mm ply and a hand made drawer between the wheel boxes, floor to roof cupboards on top of wheel boxes. Plus a few other bits n bobs. I was getting 19 to 20mpg so decided to weigh it at work. 2900kgs!!! Took all that out plus water tank roof rack and spare wheel carrier n it came down to 2200kg. Mpg shot up to about 25. But it was a lot noisier so I plumped for a compromise. Still have enough issues to remind me it's a Land Rover! Love it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smego Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have brought 2lenths of 2m by 2m gel backed car carpet, end of rolls from a gut on e bay for 15 quid, a mate has just glued his all over the rear of his and it makes a big differance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
