i tried to find the U value on it but cant find it. Myself i wouldnt waste the money on it for what you get from the reading of it i have done.. nice and thin though so using that on panels will be easy and then line with 4 way stretch carpet.

I'm not sure about on-line stocks but there were so many choices including what used to be called 'oil cloth ' that was used as a covering for tables in place of a tablecloth at outside cafes etc.
The Range warehouse I use is at Gosport.
I don't have a phone number .
As I was looking only for a white or cream colour for the headlining types some others were a bit thicker than I would use in other patterns.
For reasons mentioned previously I avoided the foam-backed type elsewhere .
I used a carpet spray adhesive at home ,and outside, to avoid fumes, but I was glueing to thin ply panels already shaped less 1/16th" at the edges to allow for the material wrapover - which I got wrong not having allowed for the flat bend of the panel. I had allowed about an inch material over each edgeso was able to correct lifting the edge and adjusting panel size to fit.

Why not order the sort of material used by manufacturers/boatyards? It isn’t expensive @ £14 for 4’6”. It isn’t foam backed. Plenty of examples of nice DIY (and professional/factory) interior linings done with it on YouTube. Lots of colours to choose from. Contours to compound curves similar to ‘van vinyl’.
No association, just a genuinely question as to why you’d consider wallpaper, ‘oil cloth’, floor vinyl, or anything else, instead?

The genuine Armaflex is good stuff, but not cheap at pushing £20 per m…
In the spirit of economy implied by the OP, might be worth considering eBay/Amazon suppliers of foam vehicle insulation. Should be fire certified. 10mm seems to be thickest @ £5-6 per m depending on self-adhesive or not. E.g.: Self Adhesive Thermal Acoustic Foam Insulation for caravan, camper, vans, sheds, | eBay
Not yet fitted it myself, but it’s what I plan to try behind panels covered with the above (yes, ‘marine’!) vinyl where I want to retain the ‘vinyl look’.
Know multiple people who have used this foam insulation in campervan conversions - that are exposed to similar heat/moisture at times - and have no complaints. It is closed-cell. Not sure I’d trust the adhesive unless behind panels etc. though.
Not bad at combined total of £20 per m (or less)
