Devon roof insulation

[Welly]

Looking to tackle my Devon roof today, just going to dress up some 6mm MDF and fix up to the aluminium brackets but am thinking I should put some sort of insulation/soundproofing up there first? Anyone have any ideas of what to use/where to get it or should it even de done at all?

Cheers.

Mines a high top fibreglass roof and I used some thin aluminium bubble wrap type insulation from b and q (about 7 quid a roll) not sure how it performs but got to be better than nothing!
Did all the floor in the same

Also interested in this....!

We have a Devon roof but are replacing with headlining... What to put underneath? Foam? Silver insulation? Nothing? I worry the silver may be crinkly to the touch... :shock:

That stuff from B&Q looks ace for the floor/doors etc though! I'll go have a look at that :mrgreen:

Under the floor ply it doesn't 'pop' like you would expect, but then again I'm sure with enough pressure the air bubbles could bust. I used some high temp spray adhesive to fix everything, got some left over from lining my t25 from mega van mats and works a treat. Don't use anything other than high temp stuff tho, don't want your insulation hanging off when (if) it gets sunny!

Cheers for this,
Managed to get something similar at B&Q, taped it to the aluminium roof the put 5.5mm hardwood over the top covered by wool and vinyl. Not bad really.

Original EB Devon roofs used polystyrene sheets Just for reference.

^^^^ Correct.
I stripped mine last year but now can't find polystyrene that's the same thickness of what came off.
Might just try the insulation stuff
