Interior Lining

If you are buying a Panel Van or a Kombi Van from your local VW dealer it is essentially a commercial vehicle and very noisy to drive. This is why a high percentage of VW transporter owners opt for a van lining solution. It will make the look, feel and driving experience of the van better. It will keep the cold out and heat in. Less noise makes for a less tiring drive and your radio will sound clearer with less distortion. Also, on top of that add value to your van.

We work closely with our local VW dealer, Breeze, as well as others and have completed many van lining packages on their own demo and customer′s vans. At Wessex Vans, lining is carried out to the highest possible standard. We don’t consider this to be a trainee job and all members of staff must be able to complete a van with the minimum of joins that are specifically located. This assures that the quality remains at the same high standard.

Lining & Insulation

One of the most important parts of your van conversion is the lining as this is usually the first part completed and the project grows from there. This is our most popular service and our customers are more than happy with the results they get from it. The process starts with the van being stripped out, front seats are removed and the interior is thoroughly cleaned. This will ensure that the carpet gets good adhesion. We use high-quality glue that is temperature stable to 120c.

All metalwork is lined separately from the panels to allow easy access if required once the van is rebuilt. Damping mat is applied to the panels followed by 100% recycled low-profile insulation. The insulation will not absorb moisture and does not support mould growth. Panels are lined and replaced, leaving you with a stunning end result. We avoid using a sheep’s wool-based material as it not only absorbs water but can give off a pungent smell in warmer temperature.

Thermal Van Liner

All products used in our van lining packages are high quality, fire tested and specifically designed for use in vehicles.

Ultra Sound Dampening

If you want to go a step further then Ultra Sound Dampening is a great add-on. This process uses a 2mm polymeric based dampening mat with an aluminium surface that converts vibration into thermal energy. This will reduce the road noise even further resulting in an even better drive. Needing only a 30% coverage to be effective we go a step further with a 70% coverage. We cover the roof, sides & doors including the driver and passenger doors. This also results in a massive improvement to the quality of sound from your front door speakers.

Sound Damping Mat Next, we use a 16mm sound and heat insulation material that features a high grade reinforced reflective foil combined with a thick dense 15mm closed cell foam. It will not absorb water and temperatures will be controlled, warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer.
