Does anyone have any suggestions for material to finish off insulating the roof of my Landy. I’ve done most of the roof with foam floor mats, but I now need to get something on the last few bits just to stop condensation. I’ve included a pic of what I’ve done so far.

I just need a material to cover the remaining exposed white metal but it needs to be thin enough that it doesn’t prevent the fabric lining going back up, so I can’t use more of the floor tiles I did the rest with. I just need something so condensation doesn’t form behind the fabric lining once I put it back and make it mouldy.

Any thoughts?

I would get one piece of 18mm scrim foam from an upholsterer. Big enough to cover everything. By using dressmaking pins pushed in at an angle you can fix the whole thing to the ceiling matting dry. Once in position you can release small sections and apply high temp spray adhesive until the foam is covering the whole ceiling bars and all. Once tucked into the gutter and trimmed get hold of a roll of perforated roof lining or faux suede and pin and glue that over the whole lot.
It would look good shaped over the roof bars. If your not confident in fitting roof lining material a roll of stretch van liner fitted over the foam is easier to work with. You can get foam backed headlining but its an arse to fit and the foam is way too thin.

You will be amazed how foam absorbs the noise and insulates against any condensation.

I use DIY Foam Upholstery Supplies and have never had issues. There glue is pretty good too.
