Are you converting your van into a camper and looking for a simple, quick, and durable flooring solution? An anti-slip floor kit is the essential first step for any van conversion. Here’s why — and how to install it in less than an hour.
Why is the floor the foundation of any van conversion?
Before installing a bed, storage, or a worktop, the floor is the foundation of your project. A poor floor means:
- Unstable furniture that moves when driving
- Moisture infiltration that degrades insulation
- A slippery floor that is dangerous when loading
- An unaesthetic finish that devalues the entire setup
A quality floor kit solves all these problems from the outset.
Van floor kit: what to check before buying
Compatibility with your model
Every van has a specific geometry: wheel arches, fixings, body length. A custom kit for your model (Volkswagen Transporter, Mercedes Vito, Renault Trafic, Peugeot Expert, Ford Transit...) guarantees a perfect fit without cutting or DIY modifications.
Material and surface
Opt for a water-repellent treated birch plywood with an integrated anti-slip surface. This is the professional standard: lightweight, resistant, and compatible with all types of fixings.
Ability to integrate rails
If you plan to install furniture, a bed, or accessories, check that the floor is compatible with fastening rails. This saves a considerable amount of time for the rest of the conversion.
Step-by-step installation: less than one hour flat
Step 1 — Preparation (10 min)
Completely empty the van. Clean the original metal floor and dry it. Check for rust. If you are installing thermal insulation under the floor, now is the time.
Step 2 — Unpacking and checking the kit (5 min)
Take out all the parts of the kit and check that they correspond to the provided assembly plan. Edelclick parts are numbered and pre-cut: no additional cutting is required.
Step 3 — Floor installation (30 min)
Position the pieces starting from the front of the van. The elements interlock and attach without drilling. Follow the order indicated in the assembly guide for optimal results.
Step 4 — Fastening and finishing (10 min)
Check the stability of the entire assembly. Install the rails if planned. The floor is ready: you can start the rest of your conversion immediately.
How much does a van floor kit cost?
The price of a quality van floor kit varies depending on the model and body length. It's a worthwhile investment: a well-installed floor lasts for several years and adds value to your entire conversion.
