Insulation and Sound Deadening

Insulation and sound deadening treat the walls, floor, ceiling, and doors of a van to reduce heat transfer and road noise. On vehicles where crew work from the vehicle or spend long hours in it, the difference in working conditions is substantial.

Two different problems

Sound deadening and thermal insulation are not the same material doing two jobs. Deadening is mass applied to panels to stop them resonating. Insulation is low conductivity material filling cavities to slow heat transfer.

Doing only one gets you a van that is quiet and hot, or cool and loud. Most builds want both, applied in the right order and in the right places.

Constrained layer damping on large panels
Cavity insulation in walls, ceiling and doors
Floor insulation under the liner
Thermal break at wheel arches and cab boundary
Vapor management so moisture does not condense in the cavity

What this typically costs

Ballpark range

$750 to $4,500

4 to 20 labor hours

Commercial damage varies widely, so this is a range rather than a quote. The number for your vehicle comes from assessing the actual damage.

Collision estimates for insurance claim walk-ins carry no charge. Systems estimates are $150 and diagnostics are $285 per hour, both credited against an authorized repair.
