Westyorkshire_lad 402 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Bit of advise needed thinking on lining the inside of my kennel boxes with kingspan , I was just thinking of sticking it on inside etc does it need to be covered ? Eg with ply or can it be left naked ? Would it be harm full for dogs if so , any advice and tips please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abarrett 462 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 If it's going to be covered have a look round for a local company That supply's or removes commercial fridges They usually scrap the tin outer but the hard foam insulation comes in big Pieces and it's easy to shape and usually free 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Dogs will rip kingspan to bits in minutes you will need to cover it...as above ply will do the job or maybe tack on sheets of that PVC cladding they use in industrial kitchens...easy to clean and hard wearing...dont think you will have to insulate the whole box for a yorkshire winter...we used just a 4inch thick sheet of Jablite polystyrene insulation under the floor of the kennel box...kept em toastie enough 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickC 1,825 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) If you line the inside of your kennels with Kingspan you definetly need to line it out with something to stop the dogs ripping it to bits. All my kennels are lined with 2" Kingspan and lined with ply.I had just finished the last kennel and ran out of 12mm ply to cover one inside part of the kennel and thought it would be ok till the next day when I had got some more ply,next morning kingspan all over the run and blowing about back garden,what a mess .

Westyorkshire_lad 402 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Cheers lads gonna pick some ply and kingspan up today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baz 464 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Use some of the cheap soffit board(UPVC) to cover it, then silicone all joints.. That way cleaning out can be real easy, no joints for mites ,bacteria etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,755 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 But late to the thread . If you know of any builders you can get loads of offcut kingspan off them . We throw / get rid of so many bits it's unreal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baz 464 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Mix some pva and water, and paint plywood, it will then seal it, silicone joints and should help prevent dust,mites etc sticking to it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,564 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Last time I insulated a kennel I just used 2 inch polystyrene which did the job well lined with ply and must be cheaper than kingspan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would be loads cheaper . Kingspan is extortionate price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
