Whether you use your van for business or personal use looking after it correctly will ensure that it lasts longer. There are many modifications that you can make to your vehicle, either to improve its performance or add protection.

One such modification is the addition of a spray lining system which gives the interior of the vehicle a tough, waterproof coating and there are many brands available on the market. Here we take a look at Speedliner® Europe Ltd.

What is it?

Essentially it is a spray on van coating made from a urethane polymer. Generally, it’s more likely to be used on commercial vehicles as they experience a much higher level of wear and tear.

The liner provides a layer of protection from, for example, corrosion and abrasion. You can also have a range of aggregates added which can create a non-slip coating. This additional level of protection can help to maintain the resale value of your vehicle. As it’s applied as a spray it’s really easy to reach all the nooks and crannies in the back of your van.

Available in twenty-five colours you can usually find one that suits your taste, and custom colours can be mixed if you have more specific requirements. It can be applied directly to a number of materials including metal surfaces which have been pre-painted, bare metal, fiberglass and wood.

The product is sold through a network of approved dealers such as http://www.vehicle-accessories.net/Interior/Van-Linings/Waterproof-Van-Linings/Speedliner.

Use in specialist industries

In some industries there is strict legislation in place to protect consumers, one such sector is food preparation. Whether you’re simply delivering products to clients or serving food directly from your vehicle The Food Standards Agency provides businesses with guidance on how to safely transport food products.

The addition of a spray lining in vehicles in these circumstances can be invaluable. Not only does it provide a barrier to bacterial and fungal build up but it also allows you to clean the interior of your vehicle thoroughly. As well as being waterproof the lining can withstand some of the toughest cleaning products, allowing you to deep clean your vehicle with ease.

Other uses

As well a being useful inside commercial vans, the product is also used in emergency vehicles and horse or animal boxes and its properties also make it useful for shower tray repairs.
