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.
