Armaflex insulation has been designed to prevent thermal bridges very effectively. This means that during the summer months you'll be able to keep cooler for longer, while during the winter months you won't easily lose the heat inside.
Armaflex af insulation, the top of the range from armacell !
The professional flexible insulation par excellence is none other than af armaflex self-adhesive roll for effective condensation control. It also acts as a perfect vapour barrier! Thanks to this thermal insulation, you'll no longer have the damp that accumulates on the walls and falls from the ceiling in the morning. Enjoy a healthy indoor space with no damp build-up !
This flexible insulation roll has many advantages:
- excellent protection against microbes and mould thanks to Microban® antibacterial technology, which prevents them from growing inside the material
- optimum resistance to water vapour diffusion, reducing the risk of corrosion under the insulation, the material is rot-proof
- extremely low thermal conductivity
- solid fire resistance (fire-retardant insulating material)
This self-adhesive utility insulator is made mainly of Elastomer, a rubber derivative that gives it great flexibility. With its highly effective adhesive surface, it will fit perfectly over the curves and corners of your van.
The insulating properties of armaflex AF surpass those of the XG and ACE ranges. It is particularly suitable for use in living vans. And it is renowned for maintaining its thermal and acoustic insulation properties, even after many years of use.
Heode gives you access to a top-of-the-range solution (the AF) at the price of the entry-level solution (the XG)! And that's something to remember !
How do you install 10 mm armaflex af insulation ?

Armaflex insulation installation toolbox :
Before starting the installation, our fitting experts Heode invites you to :
- Site lighting
- Würth tape measure
- White chalk or white permanent marker (to make it easier to see your lines for future cutting)
- Würth disposable gloves (optional)
- Clean clothOr professional wipe (Necessary for the application of armaflex cleaner.)
- Cleaner 1L Armaflex(Remember to wear a mask to avoid inhaling the odours released by this cleaning product. We strongly recommend that you apply armaflex cleaner to the metal sheets of your utility vehicle outdoors. It can also be used to clean your tools after use)
- Würth cutter or Armaflex cutting knife kit
- Armaflex af rolls in the thickness of your choiceDepending on the surface to be covered: ceiling, sides, floor
- Adhesive insulation strip(s) 15m armaflex af (This product is also available in 30m. Use for joints)
Installing armaflex adhesive rolls is child's play!
Step 1:
Using the armaflex cleaner 1L, in the case of armaflex self-adhesive rollers, clean all the interior sheet metal of the van effectively. To ensure that armaflex self-adhesive roll stays in place for a long time, and to get high performance insulation, this important step should not be neglected.
Step 2:
Prepare to measure, trace, cut and remove the transparent film protecting the powerful adhesive from one corner. Then carefully place pieces of the af armaflex 10mm roll on all the sheet metal parts of your van that you want to insulate. Most reinforcements can be insulated, as the sheet metal is accessible at the rear of the reinforcements. We recommend filling in any gaps that are not accessible witharmaflex in flakes.
Once installed, armaflex adhesive offers a high-performance solution with impressive long-term durability.
Step 3:
To make all the joints, you'll also need to use armaflex af adhesive tape in rolls of 15m or 30m. It is available to complete the waterproofing of your insulation.
So what are you waiting for to take the plunge?

What's the best insulation for converted vans ?
Heode provides you with detailed information on several types of Armaflex and guides you towards the best choice of interior insulation for your van.
Armaflex ACE or Armaflex Accoflex
Armaflex ACE, also known as armaflex Accoflex, is a flexible insulation made for outdoor use. It is made from copolymer and polyolefin. Its main use is to protect pipes. It should be noted that armaflex ACE does not have the technological characteristics of armaflex AF. And it may contain particles that are potentially harmful to health.
Armaflex XG entry-level or Armaflex ACE Plus
Armaflex ACE Plus is the entry-level flexible elastomeric foam insulation. Compared to the premium foam in armaflex af, armaflex af does not include Microban® protection against bacteria or the advanced technologies of high performance insulation. Armaflex ACE Plus has finer closed cells than armaflex af. It is also important to note that armaflex ACE Plus does not have EPD (Environmental Product Declarations) certification, unlike its more advanced predecessor, armaflex af.
Armaflex/AF best insulator
The perfect utility insulation solution is made from elastomer foam. It stands out for its remarkable flexibility; its unbeatable insulation with very low thermal conductivity; its light weight; its very high resistance to decomposition (rot-proof material); its infallible protection against all bacteria and its supreme shield against fire. This premium foam has an intense self-adhesive side and is easy to apply to any sheet metal surface on your van. We're talking, of course, about the af armaflex self-adhesive roll. Interestingly, a polyethylene sheet covers the self-adhesive side of armaflex af so that it is protected before being removed for installation.
The top-of-the-range armaflex af insulation has been studied and certified EPD (Environmental Product Declarations). This certification supports the fact that its closed-cell material is not harmful to health. Install armaflex af insulation wherever you want without having to worry about its composition. Armaflex af is the best insulation for your home on wheels !
Since its launch, the armaflex af range has been continuously improved. The specific features of the closed-cell insulating foam have been perfected. In particular, the foam's resistance to the propagation of water vapour has been increased, while its thermal conductivity has been greatly reduced. The better protected an insulation is against all forms of moisture, the more reliable and energy-efficient it is. Armaflex/AF offers perfect protection against condensation and high energy efficiency combined with a high level of fire safety.
Around the world, Armaflex products are making an increasing contribution to improving energy efficiency by intelligently standing out in their own market.
