Heat Shield Protection
Van Heat Shield Protection for Engine, Cabin, and Underbody Systems
Keeping your van’s internal environment comfortable and your engine bay safe from excessive heat starts with proper insulation and shielding. Kool Wrap’s premium van heat shield protection products are designed to block, reflect, and contain heat in critical areas of your vehicle — whether you’re cruising highways, parked under the sun, or running a campervan off-grid.
Why You Need Heat Shield Protection for Your Van
Modern vans and camper conversions often include powerful diesel engines, solar batteries, inverters, and more — all of which generate or are affected by heat. Without proper heat management, components can degrade faster, comfort can suffer, and safety may be compromised.
Core Benefits of Kool Wrap Van Heat Shields:
- Reduces heat soak from engines and exhausts
- Protects electrical systems, batteries, and interiors
- Improves fuel efficiency by optimizing engine temperature
- Increases thermal comfort in cabins and sleeping areas
- Boosts longevity of critical components
Whether you’re building a mobile workstation or a weekend getaway camper, van heat shield protection is a smart investment.
Thermal Shield for Van Engine Bay – Your First Line of Defense
The engine bay is one of the hottest zones in any van. Installing a thermal shield for van engine bay helps reduce radiant heat from components like turbos, exhaust manifolds, and engine blocks, keeping surrounding parts cool and functioning properly.
Key Features:
- Reflective aluminium or stainless-steel outer layer
- Fire-resistant core for high-temperature zones
- Flexible and moldable for custom applications
- Reduces cabin heat transfer from the engine firewall
Our heat shields can be cut to size and fitted to almost any van make or model, including VW Transporter, Toyota HiAce, Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, and more.
Heat Barrier Shield for Vans – Interior and Underbody Protection
Heat doesn’t just come from the engine — it also radiates up from the road and underbody exhaust systems. Kool Wrap’s heat barrier shield for vans offers insulation solutions for van floors, doors, and rear sections to reduce radiant heat and vibration.
Applications Include:
- Underbody insulation above mufflers or catalytic converters
- Floor protection under seats or bed frames
- Lining wheel arches to reduce cabin heat and road noise
- Rear firewall shielding for auxiliary battery setups
With easy peel-and-stick options and aluminium-faced flexible barriers, our products install quickly and work immediately to enhance thermal comfort and performance.
Campervan Heat Protection for Off-Grid Adventures
If you’ve converted your van into a camper, you already know how quickly interiors can heat up — especially when parked in direct sunlight or when the engine’s still warm. Kool Wrap’s campervan heat protection products are designed to help regulate temperatures and shield sensitive gear like water tanks, electrical panels, and cabinetry.
Perfect For:
- Roof and ceiling insulation
- Behind cabinetry or appliances near hot zones
- Engine bay and cabin firewall separation
- Reflective window shielding
Keep your camper’s interior cool, safe, and efficient while extending the life of your conversion components.
