How Many Boxes of Batts You Need
Here is a chart to give you an idea of how much wool you will need
(includes the floor and ceiling)
Measure your walls, floor, and ceiling to get your square footage.
If you have 300 sq/ft in your van, you would need 300sq/ft = 600 Sq/ft.
You will want to match that 300 as close as you can, our remnant boxes are a good fit for small cavities and odd square footage. Just add everything together and enjoy the project.
Then you’re good to go!

How Much Loose Fill Wool You Need
Most vans have about a 2-inch cavity depth that you can fill with insulation. If you are securing the mesh right against the van’s metal framing, then a 2-inch covering will do nicely. If you are framing it out a bit with wood, then you can figure for a 2.23” to 2.7” coverage — this also will ensure that you have enough wool to fill gaps in the doors and other hard to reach places. Filling in those pockets will keep your van from sounding tinny and rattly and give you a solid, tight sound and feel.

If you have a van model that’s not on the chart,, use this formula to calculate how much loose fill you need:
[150 ft box] 1 box will cover 150 sq/ft at 1 inch thick
[450 ft box] 1 box will cover 450 sq/ft at 1 inch thick
Measure your walls, floor, and ceiling to get your square footage.
If you have 300 sq/ft in your van, and you didn’t add a lot of framing, you can go with 2 inches of insulation on average. You would need 300sq/ft x 2 inches = 600.
You will want to match that 600 as close as you can, so that would be 1 [450 ft box] and 1 [150 ft box], to fill all you need.
Add one box of mesh, this is enough to completely cover any model VAN
Then you’re good to go!
What is the best way to insulate your van?
– Insulate the most difficult and hard to reach gaps.
– The best insulation value possible because all cavities (including uneven ones) are completely filled.
– The structure of the knops are incredibly resistant to compression or slumping, so you never end up with gaps from road vibration.

– The down side … takes a little more time to install, and a bit more messy, but the results are awesome.
– Traditional wool batting is the most used product so far for van insulation, schoolies, and tiny homes, and the results are incredible.
-These batts have a smaller size that allows you to adapt in a more personalized way to the design of your van. They are convenient if you are installing them alone.
– The need for insulation may vary depending on the structure. By insulating with smaller pieces you can secure the most complicated areas in a more careful way and in several pieces.
The design of these traditional batts ensures effective insulation in all corners of your van.
