Right, wrong, or indifferent, I sprayed the inside of my Panel Truck with 3M "Body Shutz" undercoating then used 2" pink foam board on the sides and 1" white foam board on the roof interior. I couldn't believe how much it quieted that tin can down.... LockDoc

Re: Insulating Suburban
If you are going to use side panels you don't need to attach it. The panels will hold it in just fine. LockDoc

Re: Insulating Suburban
Yes, I feel it does. I used 4 or 5 rolls, (50 sqft/roll), but I doubled it on the floor and firewall.

Re: Insulating Suburban
I used 2- 50 sq ft rolls of B-quiet mat on the steel floor and firewall. Then some foil backed bubble wrap on the roof. On the floor in back I have a 3/8" felt carpet pad under the carpet. I may still add some more insulation on the sides one I get some miles on it. I know it helped even with the few miles I have on it. Plus during the installation I discovered a spot on the roof that drummed like thunder with just a light tap of the finger. Replacing the window felts also made a huge improvement. If you want more info my WMB thread has some starting about page five.

Re: Insulating Suburban
I used Lizard Skin.
One coat of sound insulation and one of heat insulation. I went from the top of the firewall to the wood floor and the entire roof. Took 2 gallons of each. |

Re: Insulating Suburban
Got my burb painted, put the new wood bed I made in Saturday and on this insulation step now. Putting a dynamat/fatmat type insulation on the steel floor.
Lizard skin is good for roof and sides/doors but expensive, they sell one for heat and noise reduction. One of the biggest perks of working in the high end restoration business for 10+ years I learned a lot from the actual vendors where they developed their products. For my 74 mini clubman race car I made before the burb I used a latex paint/insuladd combo since all I had in the interior was seats and a rollbar and it helped a ton. Lizard skin and all the other companies sell you a premixed formula. Look at insuladd.com and see the benefits. Be wary of amazon and eBay they sell a replica version and it doesn't work as well. Bought the insuladd heat and a gallon of generic paint for a 1/4 the price. Made it extra thick and coated the inside roof, sides, and doors yesterday. Putting in some foil backed styrofoam on the roof and frp panels/trim lock I got from Home Depot. |

Re: Insulating Suburban
Thanks for the Insuladd tip. Did you use Azek for the new floor? Your Burban is looking good. Great color choice!
