Floor Insulation/Materials

[Oonrahnjay]

Bruce, Just to keep noise down.  Tom 

       Thanks.  I have a noise problem (my bus is a "space frame" with a ladder-lattice of rectangular frames on the side walls -- it has steel sheets welded on the inside, leaving rows of 4 x 3' cavities behind the aluminum outer skin.  The oil-canning noise is a problem.)  My ultimate solution will be insulation in that cavity (that will give me about 2 1/2 inches of insulation) with whatever-method-works to stick the insulation to the steel sheet and aluminum skin.  This is going to be a big job so it's not on my priority list as I work towards getting the new engine in, but it will be a great improvement in the usefulness in my bus when I can get it done.  I'm not sure that lead sheet is something that I can use and - because my bus has barely 6' ceilings top and bottom levels, I can't raise the floor - but I'm considering everything, both floor and side wall.

Fill em with foam. We did. We also did a double floor with foam in between. Advantech 3/4" ply for both layers. Don't regret it.
