The Living Heat 10mm Self-Adhesive Foil-Faced Insulation roll is an essential upgrade for campervan, motorhome, and van conversion enthusiasts looking to improve interior climate control and acoustic comfort. By utilizing a high-density XPE foam core and reflective foil, it effectively blocks radiant heat and dampens road noise, though its 10mm thickness requires careful planning around tight structural metalwork where space is at a premium.

While it provides insulation, it is primarily designed for walls and ceilings. For high-traffic floors, a more rigid sub-floor insulation may be required.
No, it is designed for DIY use. You only need a sharp utility knife for cutting and a roller to ensure adhesion.
The XPE foam is closed-cell and does not absorb water, acting as a moisture barrier to help prevent condensation behind your panels.
One roll provides 5m² of coverage, which is usually enough for a small to medium-sized van section.
It is not recommended to paint directly onto the foil face as the surface is designed for reflectivity and adhesion may be poor.
Ensure the surface was degreased properly. If it continues to peel, use an additional high-temperature adhesive spray or foil tape to secure the edges.
Use a seam roller to firmly press the material against the metal to ensure full contact and remove trapped air.
For optimal results, ensure all metal surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and degreased with isopropyl alcohol before application. Once the surface is dry, peel back a small section of the backing paper, align the material, and press firmly. Use a roller or firm pressure to ensure the adhesive bonds completely to the metal substrate. The material is compatible with most campervan conversion materials, including ply lining or carpet-covered wall boards. For care, keep the material away from high-heat sources like engine exhaust manifolds, as while it is flame-retardant, prolonged exposure to temperatures above 80°C can compromise the adhesive.
