3M Thinsulate(TM) is delivered in a compressed form, similar to how we ship it. Fresh off the roll, the SM600L typically measures between 3/4 and 1 inch in thickness. Over time, it will naturally expand, although this process can take several weeks. For ease of installation, it's advisable to fit the material while it's still compressed and allow it to expand in place. The material's expansion is often aided by the vibrations from driving and exposure to heat, allowing it to 'fluff up'. The SM600L has a standard thickness of 42mm (1.65 inches) but can expand up to 2 inches, especially when hung from the ceiling, depending on the available space. Importantly, Thinsulate(TM) will only expand to fill the space it's given, without exerting pressure that could warp or bow trim panels.
We highly recommend pairing it with our Tec Vanlife DUCK Liner. Together, they deliver an outstanding overall insulation result, effective noise reduction, and condensation prevention, creating the perfect setting for your adventures. Choose this combination for a superior van life experience.
Tec Vanlife is a 3M Thinsulate distributor.
We recommend using 3M 90 Adhesive Spray to apply the white fiber side to the Van skin or Duck Liner.
*All size estimates assume sliding door and back door windows. If you don’t have any windows, add 10 more linear feet to your order
