Introduction

Insulating curtains are essential accessories for the home, for nomads in a van, converted lorry or camper van.

They protect your home on wheels from the cold in winter and the heat in summer.

Matériaux

  • Blue part of the mask :

- Waterproof

  • Inter-layer part of the mask (white part) :

- Contains polypropylene (High durability - excellent insulation - recyclable ...)

  • Empty packet of crisps (contains aluminium):

- Heat-reflecting layer

  • Sponge:

- To separate showers from aluminium, to create a gap between two layers of aluminium to increase thermal insulation (R-value).

  • Cartoon:

- More specifically, in the areas where the stitching runs, so that the two layers of aluminium don't stick together, thus avoiding heat transmission.

Outils

Scissors, needle thread (many), stapler

Étape 1 - material preparation

Étape 2 - material assembly

from outside to inside:

  • Overlay 4 layers of the blue part of the mask.
  • Overlay 4 layers of the part in the middle of the mask (white-poplypropylene part).
  • Add a layer of the extended chip package (reflective layer).
  • Glue the rough part of the sponge previously cut into pieces.
  • Glue pieces of card on the lines where the seam will be made.
  • Mettre l'autre couche de l'aluminium (pour réfléchir la chaleur qui est à l'intérieur).
  • Superposer 2 couches du tissu de polypropylène.






Étape 3 - Couture

Aussi simple que ça!
