Make window blinds for van or camper out of Reflectix
This is a quicker install method for creating Reflectix window blinds for your camper van.
As an insulating privacy blind that is easy to make and install they can't be beat. After cutting them they stay up on there own with just a compression fit. There are some people doing it a bit differently but here is the easiest method I found to make them.
1) Rough cut Reflectix to about a 1/2 inch bigger then widest dimension.
2)Loop tape so its two sided and put on window.
3)Put Reflectix curved side towards window and push onto tape to hold temporarily while marking.
4)Smooth out, cutting relief cuts and indent at edge.
5)Sharpe mark edge.
6)Remove Reflectix and cut 1/8 inch bigger then line.
7)Clean off Sharpe ink with rubbing alcohol.
8)Remove tape from window it will stay up with a compression fit.
9)Enjoy private insulated darkened van.
Products used in video:
24"x25 feet Reflectix bought at home depot for 28.00 I needed more for windshield which was almost 5.5 feet x 32". I ended up getting some more at 16" and taping it together for windshield width. 16"x25' 18.00.
My scissors Is a carpet install scissors called a duck bill napping shears. Not necessary but did seem ideal for this use.
Black Sharpe and rubbing alcohol to remove marker after cutting.
Good luck with your project. Please like and subscribe if this video helped you!
