Van Sheep Wool Insulation

Prowool’s Insulation Van Sheep Wool Insulation is designed for DIY van conversions, camper builds and off‑grid vehicle projects where natural, breathable materials are preferred. Made from 100% British sheep wool, sourced directly from handpicked local farms, it offers a renewable and easy‑to‑handle alternative to synthetic van insulation.

Ideal for Campervan & Conversion Projects

Sheep wool naturally regulates moisture — a major advantage in van environments — while offering excellent thermal and acoustic comfort. It’s clean, non‑irritating and perfect for DIY installers looking for a sustainable insulation option.

Prowool Insulation is Suitable For

• Campervan conversions

• Off‑grid vehicle builds

• Mobile studios

• Work vans

• DIY van lining projects.

Preparation Steps for your Vanlife self build project

1. Clean and Prep: Remove existing panels, clean the metal surface, and remove any rust.

2. Sound Deadening: Apply sound-deadening mats to the large, flat metal panels on walls and ceiling.

3. Run Wires: Install all electrical cabling for lights and outlets before insulating.

4. Furring Strips: Install timber battens (2x1s) on the ribs for attaching wall panels later.

Installation Process (Walls and Ceiling)

1. Stuff the Cavities: Tear off chunks of wool and stuff them into the wall cavities, ribs, and crevices. Ensure you fill all available space to maximize R-value, but do not excessively compress the wool.

2. Secure the Wool using insulation mesh/string netting to create a barrier, keeping the wool behind it.

3. Insulate Ribs: Use a tool like a screwdriver or fish tape to feed small pieces of wool into the structural ribs of the van.

4. Ceiling Installation: Similar to walls, stuff the wool between ceiling rafters and secure with twine or netting before installing ceiling panels.

5. Vapor Barrier (Optional but Recommended): While sheep's wool manages moisture well, some builders add a vapor barrier (like sheep's wool felt or specialized membrane) to prevent moisture from cooking/breathing from entering the insulation.

Key Tips For Installing our Van Insulation

• Avoid Over-Compression: The insulation works by trapping air; packing it too tightly reduces its insulating value.

• Filling Gaps: Utilize the loose nature of the product to fill complex, small spaces, such as inside door cavities.

• Floor Insulation: Consider using rigid insulation like cork for the floor to maintain headroom, rather than sheep's wool which may compress.
