Volkswagen T6.1 Transporter 2019-2024 Thermal Blinds

Vanstyle Category Content - VW T6.1 Transporter / Thermal Blinds So, you’ve left your van or camper parked up in the hot midsummer sun all day. You get in only to be greeted by air hotter than the surface of the sun, and find that everything you touch, from the steering wheel to the electric window switches and gear selector are red, almost burning hot. Even the air conditioning is pretty futile in its attempts to quickly reduce the temperature of the vehicle interior. For those using passenger carrying variants in business roles, this can lead to a very unpleasant environment for clients.

This is why Vanstyle has designed a series of thermal blinds for the ever popular Volkswagen Transporter T6.1. Fitted to the interior of the vehicle with suction cups when you’ve parked up, the blinds are constructed with a shiny, foil type surface that reflects the heat away from the vehicle, whilst the black surface on the reverse prevents light from entering the vehicle and heating it up. In-between these surfaces, a series of air pockets provide additional heat protection, insulating the cab even further.

But, these thermal blinds are not just for summer use. In colder seasons, they can be reversed, the heat reflective surface now helping to keep residual warmth in the vehicle and insulating the van from the sometimes frozen glass surface.

Vanstyle recognise that there are many window permutations in the Transporter, from the basic panel van with just the windscreen and two side windows to protect, to the window van with either twin rear doors or a tailgate. To complicate matters further, the vehicle is available in short and long wheelbase form. That’s why there are several options available on the Vanstyle product page, and care should be taken to select exactly the right set for your vehicle. There are application notes on each item page which should be checked before purchase.

The Vanstyle thermal blinds are a quality product but competitively priced, and, although hot summer days in the UK are not an everyday occurrence, the driver and passengers will be more than thankful that they had the foresight to invest in a set.

Also available from Vanstyle is an exterior thermal blind for the front cab area of the van. These are ideal for keeping frost at bay and, doubling as a blackout blind are great if you are spending the night sleeping in the van. It’s quick to fit and to remove again the following morning.
