Why ply line your vehicle?
Key features and benefits of van ply lining
Van Ply Lining refers to the process of installing plywood panels inside the cargo area of a van. This lining covers the exposed metal surfaces, such as the walls, floor, and sometimes the ceiling, doors, and wheel arches. The primary goal of ply lining is to protect the van’s interior from damage while transporting goods, tools, or other equipment.
Types of Ply Lining
Full Ply Lining: Covers all the internal surfaces of the van, including walls, floor, and ceiling.
Part Ply Lining: Covers only specific areas, such as the walls and floor, but leaves some parts of the interior exposed.
protection & durability
Having ply lining professionally installed shields the metal panels of the van from dents, scratches, and other damage caused by shifting cargo.
The plywood provides a durable barrier that can withstand heavy use, making it ideal for tradespeople and delivery drivers.
noise reduction & insulation
Ply lining helps reduce noise within the interior of your vehicle by dampening the sound of objects moving inside the van during transport.
Though not as effective as dedicated insulation materials, ply lining provides a good level of insulation from external temperature changes.
Easy Maintenance
Ply-lined surfaces are easier to clean and maintain, especially compared to the bare metal interior of a van.
As an added bonus Ply lining gives the van’s cargo area a more polished, professional look.

Ply Lined Raised Flooring
Plywood flooring is elevated slightly above the original metal floor of the van. (standard ply lining is typically a flat panel laid directly on the van’s metal floor).
The raised floor creates a hidden space underneath, allowing for underfloor storage compartments for tools, equipment, or other items.
Plywood Partitions and Bulkheads
Plywood Partitions create a divide between different sections of the van’s cargo area. It’s often used to separate storage spaces, creating distinct areas for different types of cargo or tools.
Bulkheads are typically placed between the cab (driver/passenger area) and the cargo area to separate them completely. Bulkheads are often more solid and may be reinforced for extra safety.
Non-Slip Phenolic Flooring
The surface finish is made from phenolic resin, designed specifically to provide a non-slip (textured or gritted finish) surface. This helps to provide increased traction, reducing the risk of slipping even in wet or greasy conditions. Phenolic resin is a hard, durable material that is resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for high-traffic or heavy-duty environments.
Polypropolene Van Lining
A durable and lightweight plastic material to line the interior of a van. Unlike traditional plywood lining, polypropylene is a synthetic, more flexible alternative that offers several advantages, particularly in terms of weight, durability, and resistance to water and chemicals. Being much lighter than plywood, Polypropolene helps to reduce the overall weight of the van, which can improve fuel efficiency.
Rubber Matting
We install rubber mats and rubberised flooring systems inside the van’s cargo area. Rubber matting provides a protective layer over the original van floor and offers various functional benefits, particularly for commercial and work vehicles. Rubber matting is highly resistant to wear and tear, making it a long-lasting flooring option that can withstand the demands of frequent use, particularly in vans used for heavy-duty tasks.
