I've not used Reflectix yet. But my understanding is, from some people, that you only roll the edges and not the entire mat. I've seen a lot of video's where people roll the whole thing flat. My understanding is that it performs best, when left basically untouched. Otherwise just use stick on foam insulation. When car manufacturers install the stuff, they only roll the edges.

To be honest mate, the point of sound deadening is to add weight to the panel. That therefore changes the panels resonance frequency (lowering it). You went for the lightweight version, therefore not as good.<br>But, it doesn't block noise as such, it stops the 'boomy' noise.

Don’t forget to mention that dodo mat goes on a lot easier when warmed up a bit with heat gun.if not a hot day.

I would not have bothered with dodomat if I were to do it again. I put some closed cell foam on top of the dodo mat to act as a first line of defence against condensation. The foam does a pretty good job in combination with insulation packed against the walls, and the dodo mat is also 20kg in weight. Which is a lot when weight is everything.

I used the thermoliner on my build but have found it does peel off from the body after a while of being in the sun and heat, probably not a problem in a white van but in a black or grey it does attract heat from the sun. Noticed this this week taking a couple of panels off to add some wiring.

Mister… you have the patience of a Saint to put up with the constant interruptions and corrections from your partner… I would have lasted half a roll of tape and been on a flight to a sunbed somewhere hot… good on ya👍
