Insulate your van with Armaflex AF self-adhesive roll !
Insulation is one of the most important stages in a van conversion. That's why Heode, we took the time to install and evaluate the effectiveness of the armaflex af 19mm roll in 6m² before offering it to you !
For the team Heode, armaflex 19mm is the simplest, safest and most complete solution for providing high-performance insulation in the interior living space of your converted van.
Armaflex insulation is highly effective at preventing thermal bridges. In other words, in summer you'll stay cooler for longer, and in winter you won't let the heat inside escape.
AF/Armaflex insulation, our top-of-the-range product Armacell ! !
Af armaflex self-adhesive roll is the ultimate professional flexible insulation for effective condensation control. As well as being a thermal insulator, armaflex acts as a vapour barrier. Say goodbye to the damp that collects on walls and falls from ceilings in the early hours of the morning. You'll have a healthy interior with no damp build-up !
This thermal insulation roller has many advantages:
- good Microban® antibacterial protection that prevents the multiplication of microbes and moulds in the material
- very good resistance to the propagation of water vapour, reducing any risk of corrosion under the insulation, and is rot-proof
- very low thermal conductivity
- good fire resistance (fireproof material)
This self-adhesive van insulation is made mainly of Elastomer, a derivative of rubber, which makes it very flexible. What's more, its adhesive surface is highly effective, so it fits perfectly around all the curves and angles of your vehicle.
The insulating properties of the armaflex AF range are superior to those of the XG and ACE ranges. The latter is perfectly suited to use in an inhabited vehicle. And it is renowned for retaining its thermal and acoustic insulation properties even after several years.
With Heode, treat yourself to the top of the range for the price of the XG! And that's nothing to sneeze at !
How do you install armaflex af 19 mm insulation ?
It's possible to fit armaflex af 19mm insulation quickly and easily! The armaflex af 19mm self-adhesive insulation roll has been designed to make your job easier! Find out with Heode the essential tools and the installation process.
Armaflex insulation installation toolbox :
Before you start insulating, our expert fitters will Heode invites you to take :
- 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 applying armaflex cleaner to the metal sheets of your van 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:
A good cleaning of all the interior sheet metal of the vehicle with the armaflex cleaner 1L. This step should not be overlooked, as it ensures that the armaflex self-adhesive roll holds well over time and provides high-performance insulation.
Step 2:
All you have to do is: measure; trace; cut; remove the translucent film protecting the powerful adhesive from one corner. Then carefully place pieces of the af armaflex roll 19mm on all the sheet metal parts of your vehicle that you want to insulate. The vast majority of reinforcements can be insulated, as the sheet metal is accessible at the rear of the reinforcements. For those that are not accessible, we recommend that you insulate them by filling them witharmaflex in flakes.
Once properly installed, armaflex adhesive offers a quality solution with impressive long-term durability.
Step 3:
You'll also need to use armaflex af adhesive tape in rolls of 15m or 30m to make all the joints. This completes the watertightness of your insulation. For example, to insulate an L1H1 vehicle, our fitters used only 15m rolls of armaflex af adhesive tape in addition to 2 rolls of 19mm armaflex af. The number of tapes you need will depend on how you install the armaflex roll insulation in your vehicle.

What's the best insulation for converted vans ?
Heode gives you a few details about the different armaflexes we hear most about, to help you choose the best van interior insulation.
Armaflex ACE or Armaflex Accoflex
Armaflex ace, sometimes called armaflex accoflex, is a flexible insulation suitable for outdoor applications based on copolymer and polyolefin. In particular, it can be used to protect pipes. It does not have the technological properties of armaflex af and may contain particles that are harmful to health.
Armaflex XG entry-level or Armaflex ACE Plus
Armaflex xg is the entry-level flexible elastomeric foam insulation. But unlike the premium foam in armaflex af, it doesn't contain Microban® antibacterial protection or the latest high-performance insulation technology. The closed cells of armaflex xg are thinner than those of armaflex af. What's more, armaflex xg does not carry the EPD (Environmental Product Declarations) label, unlike its big brother, armaflex af.
Armaflex/AF best insulator
The best van insulation solution is made of elastomeric foam with state-of-the-art flexibility; highly insulating with low thermal conductivity, particularly light, rot-proof, antibacterial, flame-retardant and easy to install on the sheet metal surfaces of a van thanks to its powerful self-adhesive face. It is, of course, armaflex af self-adhesive roll. The self-adhesive side is covered with a polyethylene sheet for protection before it is removed for installation.
Armaflex af insulation has been tested and awarded the EPD (Environmental Product Declarations) label. This label confirms that its closed-cell insulating material is not harmful to health. Install armaflex af as cladding wherever you want without having to worry about its composition. Armaflex af is the best insulation solution for your home on wheels !
Since its launch, the af armaflex range has been continuously improved. Today, the specific properties of closed-cell insulating foam have been optimised by increasing resistance to water vapour diffusion and reducing thermal conductivity. The better an insulating material is protected against moisture, the more reliable and energy-efficient it is. AF/Armaflex offers excellent protection against condensation and high energy efficiency with enhanced fire safety.
Armaflex products are making an increasing contribution to improving energy efficiency on a global scale by standing out in their own market.
