Wool yes! Non toxic, been keeping sheep warm for thousands of years, and in summer it keeps them cooler. Keep on with thinking outside the box Julie, even if it doesn't always work😀
Pro tip for the next conversion to do wool insulation in the ceiling, masking tape is your friend, tape it up as you go and get your roofing material in ASAP 😁 great video folks and the van looks amazing!
We talked to some farmers in Ireland and other parts of Europe and was surprised to hear that a lot of their sheep's wool is actually discarded! It appears that the cost of shearing and selling just isn't worth what they can get for them. I think more people should use sheep's wool. Great video!
Wool is one of the best, if not the best option. But I wonder about sagging and about it touching the metal. Like let's take sagging - I think it definitely happens, with time, a lot of it sagging and just leaving a lot of wall basically without insulation (I think I saw some photos of that), and I'm not sure what would be the solution to that. Probably just periodically adding more wool? But that's assuming it won't start to get moldy... Vans are kind of terrible if one wants to use wool/organic materials, with all those cavities and it being all metal/worst thermal bridging. But these are the risks and disadvantages one should take in order to avoid using less sustainable materials/materials that emit VOCs.
wow guys... i wasnt watching for a while, but damn, the quality went up! ... and its relevant content for me too :D thanks for using the wool :) wish you guys all the best .. you seem you're having fun :)
Hey there! For our size van we ended up using 5 boxes, each 100sqft. We originally only ordered 400sqft but we laid it on pretty thick and ended up ordering an extra box towards the end. I think it depends on just how insulated you really want your van to be.
i brush my teeth at least twice a day for two minutes with a sonicare soft toothbrush. and i floss just once a day before bed. Yes i watched the video till the end😉
I'm currently building out my own Sprinter and just discovered your channel. Great content! Great editing! Great "scripts"! Overall a stellar production! Keep up the awesome work! Oh and btw, I'd like to nominate Julie for the 2023 Vanlife Hot Babe Award! I'm subscribed and looking forward to your future vanlife travels!
A cardinal rule in building is never double vapour barrier. Since the van shell is a vapour barrier, if you add wool followed by another vapour barrier, you have a double vapour barrier, and the moisture has nowhere to go. One side has to breathe.
Came here looking for info and this was a fun watch -- sub'd! What about the front doors? Did you do the front doors? Also, if you're looking to dampen road noise I would add do a noise treatment in the front cab that is easy to do. It's 3 parts -- CLD tiles to eliminate the pinging noise, then a Mass Loaded Vinyl sheet with Close Cell Foam -- that will kill road noise big time in the CAB part at least
@@dogcatmanvan I think of it in terms of a house, you wouldn't skip insulating a wall in a house right? You want an fully enclosed and insulated space as much as possible (The firewall and windows are not directly doable). Plus, if you do the doors it will give you a chance to help with reducing road noise. I am not sure how complicated those doors would be, but I've done treatments in the past to car doors before for car audio purposes and it's always worth it just for the road noise alone.
Holy smokes that's a FULL BLOWN AWESOME insulate! Question: if I won't be living in it or even camping much, can I get away with just doing the walls and floor and leaving the headliner intact the way it is?? (Conversion van) I'm doing a semi van build.... meaning I'm semi lazy😊 ALSO....if the wool sags, that means we have to replace at some point??🤔 Should I find your other video about wall/floor insulation??😜
It's completely up to you whether you insulate the headliner or not. It helps with noise reduction in the cab, but you can always add a divider so you can section off that front area. You loose a lot of the hot/cold in your van from the cab through the windows and door seems regardless of insulating the headliner. The wool shouldn't sag if you have it held in place behind your walls properly.
good job guys. I see at the end you have a lot of that square aluminum structure installed already . got my hands on some office panels and I have to strip the profile off and planning to use it as well in my interior structure. do you have a video on that too? thanks keep up the good work and keep the fun with it too.😀
We used aluminum extrusion for our framing which I'm guessing is what you're referring too? We made a video on it here. ruclips.net/video/hHF7v9b7HjE/видео.html
Assert dominance, only grab the fingers in the shake. You have to earn full-hand shakes. Also I’m a 2-fer. Any more than twice a day and my teeth get sensitive .
doing my van with wool, but will be using wool of the sheep, its a lot cheaper, wash it first, using a mates machine, not mine, :), so many people out there say, dont use wool, and when i ask why, they come out with poo stuff, its all hear say, the key board people,
How tight did you stuff it? The air space inside the wool is part of the insulation value. Looks like your project took 3 times the amount of wool recommended. Curious to know how well the insulation works when packed this tight .. (I'm a veteran wool spinner and knitter, so have been working with wool for many many years). Have you found that packing it tighter is more efficient??
It wasn't packed that tight especially after placing our 1/2 and 3/4 furring strips and walls on top. We definitely put too much on the ceiling though. We could've done half as much up there. Overall it's been working great so far.
great Video as always. I have used a havelock wool is ok product. BUT it's too expensive and a pain in the ass to work with. All my vans I build I use micro cell foam and layer 3m insulation in them. This process isn't cheap but its not back ordered and you get twice the R value then Havelock wool and Super easy to work with. PS you use way too much insulation those walls need to breathe.. One more question how long did it take you to insulate the van? I just insulated a 170 extended sprinter yesterday and it took one day. you spend over $1000 to insulate that van and labor . I' would be out of van business using that product.
If we were able to put a full days worth of work into it, it probably would've been a day and a half or 2 days working 8hr/day. The total cost of our insulation was $750 which is pretty cheap not including our labor. I think it just boils down to the type of product you want to support. I know that's not always feasible from a business stand point.
@@dogcatmanvan A story for u ... I once rebuild a 5 bed room old ranch house with 3 stories and 4500 s ft ... I double insulated ... and tripple glazed all 50 windows ... People would tell me that I had a large heat bill ... I said no less then 100 month ... because I over insulated ... and yes I couldn't hear talking out side ...
When you installed the permanent walls, the moisture gets locked in the wool and has no where to go. Good job! 🤣🤣 You have to vapor lock the walls and ceiling to avoid/prevent all moisture buildup.
Wow.. honestly one of the best van vids we have ever seen! You covered everything and made it entertaining too! Thanks so much for the support! The Havelock Flock
Will moisture get into the wool insulation when the walls are covered? Is the Havloc wool critter and insect repellent? Maybe you will get a hygrometer and a dehumidifier.
I wonder about that too. Although even if it wasn't covered, it would be the same question I think, the condensation will happen on the metallic walls in any case. From what I understand, anyway.
It will, but the wool should absorb the moisture and then allow it to evaporate without it loosing it's insulative quality. It's also treated to be insect repellent.
After over 2 years in my van, in Canada, I can say that moisture most definitely DOES accumulate between the wool and the van shell. Often a lot. I also had to replace the rear tail light assembly in my Promaster because moisture shorted it. There was Havelock wool in that cavity. I'm not convinced of the moisture management claims, but have no scientific proof without tearing my van apart to assess for rust.
@@katydidnt3906 Yeah, it's a tricky thing with vans. The problem with vans is that one doesn't have flat walls (like one has in a tiny house on wheels, for example). Because if one had flat walls, one could just apply a layer of insulation that would create an air gap between the metallic walls and the wool, and the condensation wouldn't be a problem. Or if vans were slightly wider, one could have just not bother with the cavities and apply that layer of insulation (that creates the air gap) and the wool right on top of the walls. That would've been perfect. I think they can make wider vans, I mean according what's allowed legally on the roads. I wonder if manufacturers will eventually have wider versions, for those who want to do a van conversion.
If only vans were slightly wider. We could apply the insulation right on top without bothering with the cavities, have straight layers of insulation, an air gap layer first and then the wool, and have no issues with condensation or mold. Like we do in tiny houses on wheels. But with the current dimensions, if we were to do that, it probably would mean sacrifice too much space inside the van.
You don't want wool in your walls if you live in a humid environment, air circulation is poor inside a wall. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in water and it needs air movement around it to allow any moisture to evaporate.
Do you guys plan on using Reflectix on the inside after the wool? I hear mixed opinions about that.. like it's almost useless as a reflector of radiant heat once it passes the steel exterior of the van, and it's expensive... I was just thinking of using standard vapor barrier instead.
From what I understood, unless you leave/make some space between reflectix and the van walls - it's useless to apply reflectix. And regarding vapor barrier - one should not use it (the walls should be able to "breathe") or one should use a kind of vapor barrier that can become permeable (like Intello I believe). Also I've heard from someone that they didn't use vapor barrier in the floor, because he saw that it created mold inside the floor. One should really understand a bit the technology of insulation first, because some ideas like using vapor barrier and such may seem clever when in actuality they aren't. P.S. Also you might want to check out Moser Makes' videos, he made some good ones too.
@@MaximC In almost every van build you see people put TONS of reflectix on everywhere... and I'm just like, why? lol and they say for vapor barrier, sooo... i understand not wanting your moist air from the van condensing say.. on your metal floor of your van - but it's gotta go somewhere. So by covering everything in their reflectix vapor barrier are they basically creating a bubble where the moist air most likely escaped via the fan at the top?
I think it just comes down to where you plan on running your wires. If you think you're going to fish wiring through small cavities that will end up needing to be filled with insulation, it's a lot easier to fish those wires when the cavities are empty, ie non insulated, rather than having to fish the wires through the cavities already stuffed full of insulation. Does that make sense?
Is it itchy?? Like fiberglass or mineral wool... I used thermafiber mineral wool now im itchy every time I drive my van .. I think it's falling apart in there smh
If you're speaking to the use of electricity in the processing of the wool, you can check out Havelock's website where they transparently discuss sustainability and their end to end process inputs and outputs. havelockwool.com/sustainable-insulation/

You are so underrated on RUclips man! Love you videos. Watching from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Hopefully we snag some recognition one of these days!
Very funny guys, this wool seems great, I could hear the difference it makes plus it should keep you toasty
We talked to some farmers in Ireland and other parts of Europe and was surprised to hear that a lot of their sheep's wool is actually discarded! It appears that the cost of shearing and selling just isn't worth what they can get for them. I think more people should use sheep's wool. Great video!
That's really interesting. I would've assumed that it was largely recycled and sold in some way.
Nope, hardly worth the farmers time. Our friend gave us a load of it.
for the headliner we got a big blanket of the wool which is a one piece install

Great video. Technically, you should brush and floss morning and after every meal...
Loved the video guys!
Are you going to install a vapor barrier, or does that mess with the whole absorbs/releases moisture thing?
No need for a vapor barrier with wool. It absorbs the moisture and then lets it evaporate.
A cardinal rule in building is never double vapour barrier. Since the van shell is a vapour barrier, if you add wool followed by another vapour barrier, you have a double vapour barrier, and the moisture has nowhere to go. One side has to breathe.
I brush as needed, it can be more than twice a day depending on what I've put in my face. 😂

Reflextix is not near as good as Dynamat Extreme, then the wool on top.
“Their manufacturing process uses electricity rather than other non-renewable resources like fossil fuel.” That’s most absurd.
