Ford Transit Custom MK2 2024- Thermal Blinds

Let’s face it, no matter if you’re travelling to warmer abroad to warmer climate, or staying around the United Kingdom, you’re going to face changeable and potentially less than comfortable weather conditions. The first moment getting back into a vehicle when the sun is beating can be sickly or sleeping in your camper and finding the temperatures have dropped overnight, it’s not ideal.

Whilst you might take precautionary steps to insulate the body of the van, filling nooks and crannies and large bodywork panels, as campervans are essentially glazed all the way round, it’s important to note that windows have been known to be inefficient at insulating your living and sleeping area when trying to keep your van protected from both hot and cold temperatures. There’s an easy answer, tailored thermal blinds!

By creating an insulating layer between your windows and the space inside the van, you can help stop the extreme temperatures transferring and increase the efficiency of any air conditioning or heating you might have.

The thermal blinds from us here at Vanstyle, are made up of a dual layer system, a heat reflective silver lining which helps reflect heat out the van in the summer and keeps heat in during colder weather. The alternative side is a black liner material, which acts as a backing side, but also helps to attract any heat possible in winter. Sandwiched between these two layers is an air system, stopping heat transfer from the cold windows, ensuring that the heat in your van isn’t sapped by the harsh conditions outside.

Installation is a breeze, designed using tailored holes in the blind, you can attach strong suction cups that quickly and easily attach to the inside of your window, meaning that it takes seconds to put up or take down these blinds, great for those that want to pitch up and get their head down. An easy-to-use design means that you won’t need to modify your van to take these, they’re a direct fit already.

We know that vans come in all different layouts, which is why all our blind sets are available separately, allowing fitment to all-out camper conversions, but also covering those that might have converted a panel van into a day van or touring vehicle. You might not have rear windows fitted, but your front cabin has lots of glazing, which our front window set will tackle with ease, covering the large front windscreen and both side front windows too.

FAQ:
Q: Can I use thermal blinds whilst driving?
A: We’d highly recommend that you don’t, we know that people wouldn’t use front blinds whilst driving for obvious reasons, but we’ll always say to give yourself as much vision as possible, only use these blinds whilst parked up.

Q: I have a long wheelbase Transit Custom, do these blinds fit?
A: Most windows are the same regardless of wheelbase length, but check the product specifications just in-case, we know that the rear quarter windows do differ! It’s also worth checking to see if your van has a tailgate or twin rear door, and if this effects the products you’re looking at.
