Veltrim - may be useful

I follow a self build campervan group on Facebook and they often mention Veltrim, it's a thin carpet that can be easily glued and stretched to surfaces. I'm not familiar with it, I think those small coaches and mini-buses make a lot of use of it. I'm posting it here in case people are not aware of It. On eBay as follows:

Loads of sellers so shop around etc, looks like it's glued on with spray contact adhesive.

A girl on a Facebook page paid a lot of money for a conversion on her Bongo .. the whole interior was trimmed with that thin grey carpet stuff ..
It was horrible ..!!

Yuk, sounds 'orrible!
Small doses seem ok, wonder how durable it is? Probably the same as the back of the flip seats etc? Might use it on the tailgate trim panel

It's vital to use heat proof spray adhesive with any form of headlining or carpet trim otherwise it has a habit of coming unstuck on a warm sunny day.

Simon, good point as it would deal with the friction generated heat in Ady's post

There's veltrim and there's lining carpet. Veltrim is fantastic stuff, done a few now,it's like a brand new van done properly

What's the difference, is veltrim more easy to shape?

I think the benefits of using veltrim are to give some insulation and to reduce condensation

I'm used this stuff on:
1) headlining
2) engine cover carpet
3) tailgate panel
4) sliding door panel
5) rear panels
6) rear seat (stitched with needle and cotton on the joins)

Looks good
Did you tear off all of the existing vinyl from the rear panels or just overlay it?
Cheers
