Van Rear Door Floor Edge Trim

April 7, 2020 by Ben Domaschenz Leave a Comment

Van Rear Door Floor Edge Trim. It’s funny how good you feel when you cap off a project. Van Rear Door Floor Edge Trim

Our Van Rear Door Floor Edge Trim is another, “tie it all together” project that makes all that hard work pay off. 

Van Rear Door Floor Edge Trim

We won’t go into too much detail about materials in this post as we cover different options in our Sliding Door Step Trim article. Check that out for a list of edge trims commonly used in Van Conversions and Campervans.

The Fascia Board

To cover the layers of flooring and build a solid edge foundation, we needed to install some type of fascia board.  Unfortunately, the height required did not match any of the commonly available wood sizes, and we didn’t have any offcuts to suit. We had our local wood supplier rip down a piece of 1×3 framing lumber to match the thickness of the floor. 

Trimming To Fit

Using a jigsaw, we notched out the corners to fit between the two rear D-Pillars. Trimming To Fit

Pre-Drill And CounterSink

To prevent any splitting and to make the final installation as easy as possible, we used a Countersinking Drill Bit to pre-drill and countersink the screw holes.Pre-Drill And CounterSink

Stain And Seal

We are happy with the durability of the one-step Stain and Urethane coatings from Varathane. It is quick and easy to paint on and gives a layer of protection to the wood. Stain and Seal

The fascia board is glued and screwed in place then the aluminum stair tread is screwed down on top. Also, to stop water from flowing under the floorboards, we sealed with a bead of doors and windows sealant.Van Rear Door Floor Edge Trim – Installed

Job Well Done

It’s so good to install the final touches to a project and see it all come together so nicely. The floor has been done for a while now and climbing over the unfinished step every day, I don’t know why we didn’t finish this sooner, priorities I guess. It looks and professional!
