Insulate your Peugeot Partner L1H1 without glue: 16 m² of self-adhesive Armaflex ChezMoi

To turn a Peugeot Partner L1H1 into a campervan, this kit brings together self-adhesive Armaflex ChezMoi and everything needed to install it: 1 roll of 10 mm insulation, 1 roll of 19 mm insulation, 1 roll of Tape and 1 Cleaner, with a pair of gloves and a utility knife included free. No glue to buy or spread: the self-adhesive backing sticks directly to cleaned metal bodywork. Quantities are calculated for the Partner L1H1, excluding the cab partition.

Armaflex ChezMoi is an elastomeric foam made in Europe using Armacell technology. Its self-adhesive backing sticks directly to cleaned metal bodywork, with no extra glue needed. The closed cells also act as a vapour barrier (μ> 7,000): there’s no separate vapour control layer to install, and less condensation on the metal bodywork.

With a thermal conductivity of 0.035 W/(m·K) and an operating range of −50 °C to +85 °C, it insulates against both cold and heat, whether your Partner becomes a mini campervan or remains a work van. The A+ rating (ISO 16000, VOC-free) and Microban® antimicrobial treatment integrated into the material matter in a space where you sleep. Its fire reaction meets the FMVSS automotive standard, and the manufacturer guarantees the material for 10 years.

The kit is easy to allocate: the 10 mm insulation for the floor and pillars, the 19 mm for the walls and ceiling, Tape to seal the joins and Cleaner to clean the metal bodywork before installation.

Armaflex ChezMoi 19 mm: insulating the walls and ceiling

The 19 mm insulation is the standard thickness for large surfaces. It provides the most insulation where space allows: the Partner’s side walls, doors and ceiling. The kit includes 1 roll, covering 6 m².

• Thickness: 19 mm
• Pack format: 6 m² roll (6 m × 1 m)
• Thermal conductivity: λ = 0.035 W/(m·K) at 0 °C
• Vapour barrier: integrated, μ> 7,000
• Operating temperature: −50 °C to +85 °C
• Fire reaction: FMVSS automotive standard
• Air quality: A+ rating (ISO 16000), VOC-free
• Antimicrobial treatment: Microban® integrated into the material
• Warranty: 10 years (manufacturer)

Armaflex ChezMoi 10 mm: insulating the floor and pillars

The 10 mm insulation fits where space is tight: the floor, deep reinforcements, wheel arches and pillars. It preserves headroom, which is precious in a small van, while insulating the metal bodywork. The kit includes 1 roll, covering 10 m².

• Thickness: 10 mm
• Pack format: 10 m² roll (10 m × 1 m)
• Thermal conductivity: λ = 0.035 W/(m·K) at 0 °C
• Vapour barrier: integrated, μ> 7,000
• Operating temperature: −50 °C to +85 °C
• Fire reaction: FMVSS automotive standard
• Air quality: A+ rating (ISO 16000), VOC-free
• Antimicrobial treatment: Microban® integrated into the material
• Warranty: 10 years (manufacturer)

Tape, Cleaner, gloves and utility knife: preparation, cutting and sealing joins

Tape seals the joins between the sheets to limit thermal bridging, while Cleaner degreases the metal bodywork for good adhesion. The kit includes 1 roll of Tape, providing 15 m of tape, and 1 Cleaner. A pair of gloves and a utility knife are included free for handling and cutting the insulation.

• Tape: 15 m × 50 mm roll, adhesive, 1 included in the kit
• Cleaner: solvent-based Armaflex cleaner, 1 L bottle, applied with a cloth, 1 included in the kit
• Gloves: 1 pair, included free with the kit
• Utility knife: 1, included free with the kit

Compatibility: Peugeot Partner L1H1

The kit is sized for the load area of a Peugeot Partner L1H1 commercial van (Standard length), from 2018 onwards: 1,817 mm long, 1,527 mm wide and 1,200 mm high, with 1,229 mm between the wheel arches. These measurements are indicative: measure your vehicle before installation, especially if it has already been converted.

Please note: The partition between the load area and the cab is not included in the kit’s coverage calculations.

As the closed cells of Armaflex ChezMoi already act as a vapour barrier, no separate vapour control layer is needed.

The Partner L1H1 shares its bodywork with the Citroën Berlingo M: see the Citroën Berlingo kit, suitable for both M and XL. For another Partner size, see L2H1.

How do I install the Armaflex ChezMoi kit in a Peugeot Partner L1H1?

Armaflex ChezMoi is self-adhesive: it can be installed without glue, using a few simple tools, and requires no special skills. Just follow the steps in order. Our blog article on installing Armaflex explains each step in detail.

1. Prepare the walls. Identify the areas to insulate. If you plan to install wood panelling, fit your mounting battens first.
2. Clean the walls before installation. Dampen a clean cloth with Cleaner and wipe down all the metal bodywork: it must be clean and free of grease for the adhesive to bond. Cleaner contains a solvent and gives off fumes: wear a mask and work outdoors if possible.
3. Mark out. Mark the dimensions of each area on the non-adhesive side of the insulation, starting with the floor and pillars (10 mm), then the walls and ceiling (19 mm).
4. Cut. Put on the gloves included with the kit and cut the sheets to shape using the supplied utility knife, or an Armacell knife kit if you prefer. The foam cuts cleanly.
5. Stick in place. Peel away the protective film as you go, pressing the sheet onto the metal bodywork from the centre outwards to push out any air.
6. Seal the joins. Apply Tape over every join between two sheets to limit thermal bridging.

Kit technical specifications

The kit also includes 1 roll of Tape (15 m × 50 mm), 1 solvent-based Cleaner (1 L bottle), plus 1 pair of gloves and 1 utility knife at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions about insulating a Peugeot Partner L1H1

How can I tell if my Partner is an L1H1?

The Partner commercial van comes in two lengths (Standard and Long), both with the same roof height: these are our L1H1 and L2H1 sizes. Measure the usable length of the load floor: approximately 1,817 mm for an L1H1 and 2,167 mm for an L2H1.

Do I need DIY skills to install this kit?

No. The insulation is self-adhesive and can be cut with the utility knife included in the kit: clean, cut, stick, then seal the joins with Tape. The six steps in the installation section are all you need, and the video shows how it’s done.

Do I need to add glue?

No, the self-adhesive backing of Armaflex ChezMoi sticks directly to the metal bodywork. Cleaner is only used to degrease it so the adhesive bonds well.

Is this kit suitable for a Peugeot Rifter?

It is designed for a Partner panel van being converted into a campervan. The Peugeot Rifter is a passenger version with windows and an existing interior trim, so it does not have the same surfaces to insulate: measure the areas you need to cover before choosing how much Armaflex to buy.

Can I double the thickness for very cold conditions?

Yes, you can layer two sheets in exposed areas if you drive in very cold conditions. You’ll need to add rolls of Armaflex ChezMoi 19 mm to the kit.

Armaflex ChezMoi or Armaflex AF: what’s the difference?

Armaflex ChezMoi is the successor to Armaflex AF for vehicle conversions: the same self-adhesive foam, with a fire reaction rating under the FMVSS automotive standard. Our article compares the two ranges point by point.

Is there a kit for the Citroën Berlingo?

Yes: the Citroën Berlingo has its own product page, with the same quantities, suitable for both the Berlingo M and XL. See the Citroën Berlingo kit.

Complete the insulation and interior finish of your Peugeot Partner L1H1

This kit insulates the metal bodywork in one go. To go further with eco-responsible materials, explore our campervan insulation kits.

For the floor, add a layer of 4 mm cork underlay on a roll beneath your floor covering: it reduces the feeling of a cold floor and reduces vibrations and road noise. Explore the full cork insulation range.

For the wall finish, start with a sample of stretch lining fabric: you can choose the colour (light grey, dark grey, anthracite, black or beige) inside your van before ordering the van lining fabric.
