We just restored our 1965 split screen - what are your thoughts on insulation for doors and panels - yes or no. If yes what type. We are worried about condensation and causing the metal to rot. Many thanks

I used this :-

cuts down noise, keeps you warm, cuts easily and weighs nothing

Loads of threads on this on the forum, plenty of people have put dynamat or silentcoat on first then celotex over the top.

I have silentcoat (cheaper than dynamat) then celotex, see this thread:-

and take a look at these if you have time:-

Just jumping in here... Has anyone used noisekiller? Just wondered what the differences were and benefits etc. And what's the surface area you need to do a bus?

Thermal Insulation, acoustic insulation or both?

If its for acoustic reasons then I'm really happy with the way silent coat performs in my bus.

If its for thermal properties then I haven't applied anything specific to the bus as I don't see the point for what I use the bus for (storing things in it whilst it sits in the garage unused!! ).

If you need to ask anything else feel free.
