With a little planning, a new 9sqm shed was purchased and converted into an external broadcasting studio to allow delivery of their mental health awareness training.

Emily and Dean bought a 15-seater, Ford Transit minibus with plans to convert it into a campervan suitable for themselves and their 3 dogs. They wanted to insulate the van fully beneath the planned internal wooden cladding finish on the walls and roof and insulate under the laminate planking flooring they would be laying.Due to variations in temperatures that vehicles can experience, it was important that the insulation chosen would not only keep them warm but help reflect the heat during the summer months.They also wanted a product that could be used on the back of the curtains that would help to control the temperature in the van.
