We pride ourselves on the quality of lining work. Like a swan, we make it look effortless, but underneath a lot of work goes into creating our beautifully lined vans.

These photos take the process of installing a T6 with windows and a pop-top, in short, the steps are:

• Empty van ready to start.
  • Here we have removed any existing ply lining
  • Removed the bulkhead and bulkhead mounts
  • The front seats and Cab headliner
• Wrapping and Masking for cutting that is required.
  • We're fitting a pop top as well as side windows and a tailgate window
  • We fully mask the area and then apply protective paper and film
• Cutting and cleaning up.
  • Once the cutting is done, it's all cleaned up and primed
  • The van is then cleaned back to remove any residue from the process
• Fitting of Windows and Pop Top.
  • The process of fitting the pop-top, depends on the type of roof being installed
  • The windows have trim applied on the inside, ready for them to be applied on the outside.
• Application of Soundproofing, and Insulation.
  • Now the groundwork has been done we can start building
  • Any wiring required would also go in at this stage
  • Any soundproofing or insulation upgrades would then be applied before the final layer of insulation
• Application of Ply lining.
  • Panels are cut and trimmed to suit the spaces being filled
  • Any edges are smoothed
  • The same goes for around the roof side
  • Any lights required are also wired in before the ply is finished
• Prep and Installation of Floor Packers.
  • Packers to even out the floor
• Layer of Insulation on Floor.
  • A layer of insulation or soundproofing depending on what you are using
• Apply 12mm Ply.
  • 12mm Ply is then cut and applied
• The fully lined shell can then be carpet lined and Altro applied.
