closed cell foam insulation

[timevans2000]

does anybody know where I can get 6mm thich closed cell foam insulation from without having to pay the prices that marine suppliers charge? I insulated one of the cabins on my boat with this last winter. it was exstremely effective. I just dont want to pay so much for the pleasure!

That would be about the same stuff that cheap camping mats are made of. Suggest Millets or your local army surplus.

I used 3mm fire retardent closed cell laminate floor underlay and its amazing how much improved the condensation situation is.

How much do you want ( 6' x 4' ) sheets . Where are you based ?
I can supply a lot cheaper than Millets .

Hi Golf. I am based in Macclesfield, Cheshire. What sort of money are 6'x4' sheets. Are they 6mm?

Tim,
As I said at the weekend, I bought 6 mm white closed cell foam at the Northern boat show a few weeks back. They were about 4ft x 4ft and cost £3. The supplier was ABE Products, Haymoor Hall, Wybunbury, Nantwich, CW5 7HD, Tel 01270 841174. It can't be far from you.

The cheap camping shops in Keswick £2 for a karrimat sized bit, but not very good quality.
