Choosing the right insulation for your lorry to motorhome conversion is crucial in ensuring that your living space is comfortable and energy-efficient. After careful consideration, I chose 25mm Celotex insulation for the walls and floor of my conversion project, with an additional 25mm added to the roof.
The first factor that influenced my decision to use Celotex insulation is its excellent thermal performance. With a high R-value of 1.4 per inch, this insulation material provides excellent heat retention, keeping the interior of my motorhome warm and cozy even in cold weather. This high thermal performance helps to minimize the amount of energy needed to heat the space, reducing my environmental impact and lowering my energy bills.
In addition to its thermal properties, Celotex insulation is also known for its excellent moisture resistance. This is particularly important in a motorhome conversion, where humidity can be a significant issue. Moisture can cause damage to the walls and floors, leading to issues such as mold and rot. Celotex insulation’s moisture resistance helps to prevent these issues, ensuring that my motorhome stays in good condition for years to come.
Another benefit of Celotex insulation is its lightweight and easy-to-handle nature. As a rigid board insulation, it’s easy to cut to size and shape, making it a versatile option for fitting into the walls and floors of my conversion project. Its lightweight nature means that it won’t add significant weight to the vehicle, which is crucial for ensuring that the motorhome remains within the vehicle weight limit.
Finally, the addition of an extra 25mm of Celotex insulation in the roof was an important consideration for my conversion project. The roof is one of the most vulnerable areas for heat loss, and adding extra insulation helps to minimize this issue. With the additional insulation in the roof, I can be confident that my motorhome will stay warm and comfortable, even in the coldest weather.
In summary, I chose 25mm Celotex insulation for the walls and floor of my lorry to motorhome conversion project due to its excellent thermal performance, moisture resistance, lightweight nature, and versatility. Adding an additional 25mm in the roof was also a crucial consideration to minimize heat loss in this vulnerable area. Overall, using Celotex insulation will help to create a comfortable and energy-efficient living space in my motorhome conversion project.
