Split screen insulation

Split screen insulation

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 :-

http://www.diy.com/departments/celotex-tb4025-insulation-board-l2400mm-w1200mm-t25mm-pack-of-1/307367_BQ.prd

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

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:-

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=108244&p=820020

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.

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23102&start=120

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!! :oops: ).

If you need to ask anything else feel free. :D
