The thickness used in most van conversions to insulate walls and ceilings.
Armaflex Chez Moi 19 mm offers the best balance of performance, thickness and price in the range: closed cells with a built-in vapour barrier, a self-adhesive backing, Microban® protection and an A+ indoor air rating.
6 m² roll (6 × 1 m). The successor to Armaflex AF.
It’s the thickness used in the vast majority of van conversions — and for good reason. The 19 mm ticks all the boxes: thick enough to provide effective insulation for your walls and ceiling, yet thin enough not to eat into your living space. Closed cells, built-in vapour barrier, Microban® and A+ indoor air rating. 6 m² roll (6 × 1 m), with free delivery.

Estimates for walls + ceiling (excluding the floor, with openings deducted). Remember to allow an extra 5 mm for each cut — better to have one roll too many than leave a thermal bridge. For a more precise figure, use the calculator below.

Why Armaflex Chez Moi 19 mm is a good default choice
If you’re still unsure which thickness to choose for your walls and ceiling, the 19 mm is a choice you won’t regret. It strikes a good balance: it delivers the thermal performance you need in a van without the bulk of the 25 or 32 mm.
A brief look back
Armaflex wasn’t originally designed for vans: it’s a technical insulation material intended for buildings and industry. A few years ago, Heode came up with the idea of using it to insulate converted vans. The idea has since caught on: today, it’s used in countless conversions by professionals and DIY van owners alike.
Closed-cell technology
Every cell in the foam is completely sealed: moisture cannot get in or migrate through the material. In practice, Armaflex also acts as a vapour barrier, with no extra layer to add. With fibre insulation such as hemp or wood wool, you need a separate vapour control layer — an extra step and expense, and a potential point of failure if it isn’t installed perfectly.
Microban® and A+ indoor air rating
Microban® protection is built into the material, not applied to the surface. It remains active even if you cut the sheet. The A+ rating (ISO 16 000) means the insulation emits no volatile organic compounds once installed — a detail that matters when you sleep and cook in a confined space.
Which areas of your van?
The 19 mm is designed for large surfaces: side walls, ceilings and rear doors. That’s where it performs best, covering most projects in typical conditions in France and central Europe.
- Side walls — the main area, where much of your comfort is determined
- Ceiling — consider adding mechanical fixings every 500 mm alongside the adhesive to keep it secure over time
- Rear doors — often overlooked, despite being a significant source of heat loss
- Cab partition — if you’re insulating the divider between the cab and living area
For projects in cold conditions or year-round van living, take a look at Armaflex Chez Moi 25 mm — it offers around 30% more thermal resistance while taking up only moderately more space.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Armaflex Chez Moi 19 mm the best-selling thickness?
Because it provides effective insulation for walls and ceilings without taking up too much living space. It strikes the right balance between performance, thickness and cost.
19 mm or 25 mm for my walls?
The 19 mm suits the vast majority of projects in France and Europe. The 25 mm makes sense if you regularly head to the mountains or Nordic countries, or live in your van year-round, including through winter.
Do I need an additional vapour barrier?
No. The closed cells stop moisture from migrating through the material — one of Armaflex’s advantages over fibre insulation.
Two layers of 19 mm or one of 32 mm for extreme cold?
Both work. Two layers of 19 mm (≈ 38 mm) often cost less than one layer of 32 mm for comparable performance. The 32 mm is quicker to install in a single pass.
Does Armaflex Chez Moi replace AF?
Yes, since April 2026. The same technology, with a formulation revised for vans. Both will remain available until AF is discontinued at the end of 2026.
