Cabinetry & Trim
A finished van interior with fitted cupboards, tidy panels and storage that actually uses the space.
What Goes Wrong
The difference between a tidy, rattle-free interior and one that falls apart in six months comes down to method, not materials alone.
Off-the-shelf units fitted without templating leave gaps at wheel arches and curved walls, so panels rock and rattle on the move.
The converter traces every curve and arch profile onto card before cutting, so each panel sits flush with no gaps or movement.
Using MDF throughout adds unnecessary weight; using thin ply for shelving under load leads to sagging and cracked joints over time.
12mm or 18mm plywood for carcasses, MDF for painted shelving, laminate-faced panels for doors, each material chosen for its role.
Screwing directly into van bodywork without timber battens means fixings work loose, panels flex, and the van’s structure can be compromised.
Trim panels are secured to timber battens fixed at the van’s existing mounting points, keeping the bodywork intact and the panels solid.
A layout planned without measuring the actual load space wastes usable centimetres and leaves awkward dead corners that cannot be used.
The converter measures the van first, then produces an itemised quote covering components, labour and timeline, nothing is guessed.
Scope of Work
From a single storage unit to a fully panelled interior, the work is scoped to what the van actually needs.
Built from 12mm or 18mm plywood, templated to the van’s interior and secured so there is no movement in transit.
Laminate-faced boards cut to cover bare metal walls, finished at the edges and fixed to battens to prevent lifting.
MDF shelves and storage units fitted where a painted finish is preferred and weight is less of a concern.
Laminate-faced door and drawer fronts fitted and checked for rattle-free operation before handover.
Cupboards or panels fitted without a full conversion.
Practical storage units sized for tools and kit.
Trim panels to cover exposed metal walls.
Old or damaged panels replaced with new cut-to-fit boards.
