How to frame your campervan windows... and some pretty neat tiling!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is how we have added quirky wooden window frames and some mosaic tiles in our self built diy campervan conversion. Our build is really starting to come together now and finishing touches are really making it start to feel like a proper home on wheels.

    Definitely one of the best build series. Won't pester you by posting every vid but have watched and liked them all. Great job. Also one of the very few van builders to bring up the issue of weight. Most forge ahead assuming that 3.5 tonne is massive weight. I can see some builds and think to myself....... definitely overweight. Great great work.

    Thanks mack, she done an amazing job. I was worried too but they've held up really well, even with our awful suspension! I think the key is to use flexible grout and adhesive.

    Hi lou / Emily, know this is almost 3 years old - question on the Seitz window style versus the typical bonded sliding window. would you select the bonded now that you have had these windows and lived with them for good and ill for 3 years? or still prefer this style ?

    Hello 😁 I can't remember exactly where it was from but all the main caravan parts dealers do them. Its called a seitz s4 window, you can get them hinged like ours or as sliders. They come in whatever size you like really. Hope that helps.

    Emily looks like she's tiled before! Can I ask did you apply the tile adhesive onto just plain wood or something else like plasterboard or something? I ask as I'm coming up to doing my tiles soon. thanks.

  • @campervibe

    @campervibe

    4 жыл бұрын

    Honestly she has never done it before. In my opinion you should seal the wood with something, but not pva or any kind of paint with a gloss or shiny finish, I'm not 100% tho, we just used a primer and undercoat on ours and so far they have stayed up. I'm only used to tiling onto plaster to be honest.
