Am working on a build-out of my 2015 144 low roof - I'm 5'11" w/o shoes - so I'd like to maintain as low a profile floor as I can. Rather than hijack a similar thread, I started this one.
I don't have a factory floor (gutted a previous build). As I've gotten older, I prefer to keep things quite a long periods of white noise are fatiguing. The following technique was employed in my Jeep to much success. It works far better with noise & insulation than Dynapad and is far thinner.
I'll be implementing the typical 3-level noise reduction technique:
1)resonance damping - butyl rubber & alum -
2)vibration isolation - foam
3)weight - MLV
Here is my idea for the floor:
Butyl Rubber/50-80milAluminum
Something to fill in the ribs
157mil (1/6") thick NOICO Foam insulation pad
MLV - 1#/sqft - 1/8" thick
Insulation of some sort (WHAT THICKNESS?)
1/2" ply
Floor Covering (Vinyl or rubber coin)
Van will be used all over North America as a mobile office & adventure van - it will need to handle desert heat and frigid northern latitudes...
Comments on the above buildup? ... what thickness of insulation? Was thinking 1/2", but then my floor would be >1" thick...
