the rails
We've located the most ideal factory holes to securely fasten the rails that will act as the launching pad for the rest of your build. After installing rivet nuts, all that's left to do is screw in each rail with a t-handle wrench. And don't worry if you're unfamiliar with the process of installing rivet nuts - we'll walk you through it!
mounting possibilities
Utilizing readily-available mounting hardware, these rails can be used to hang bags, cabinets, benches, and even mount your bed platform.
infinitely modular
Because of the smooth interior channel, anything mounted can easily be moved around - no more incremental tracks.
Compatible
By swapping out some hardware, these rails are compatible with a variety of other off-the-shelf van components.
the panels
We've sectioned out your ceiling panels to make them easy to ship to you, easy to install, and easy to modify to fit your van's needs. They're held in tight with the compression of the rails, so all that's left is a few rivet nuts to flex them into place.
Lightweight
By using ¼" material, we keep a large part of your build incredibly lightweight. This also allows them to easily flex into the curve of your van, keeping them nice and snug.
Serviceable
Each panel can be individually removed without affecting the panels around it. Now you can easily access parts of the van to service wiring, insulation, etc.
Beautiful
We work with high-quality materials that are durable and not readily available at your local Home Depot. If there's something else you're looking for, let us know!
panel finishes
Natural Plywood - This is an unfinished Baltic Birch, perfect for accepting any paint, stain, oil, or polyurethane to match the rest of your build.
White Laminate - Two sheets of durable white laminate on a 1/4" in Baltic Birch core. (Ask us about other color options).
Bamboo - Amber edge grain bamboo plywood. This arrives unfinished, and is ready to accept a conditioning finishing wax or oil. (Note: the bamboo panels in the product photos have been treated with finishing wax, which gives them their darker amber glow. Your panels will arrive much lighter until they are finished).

The box with your panels is approximately 36” x 68” and up to 75lbs so we recommend having a moving buddy ready to help you unload.
