An increasingly popular travel option around the world is van living. This type of lifestyle uses a traditional van, cargo van, or extended van as the mode of transportation. Owners use various ideas and methods to build out the van to suit their travel needs. For example, sleeping and cooking areas are added to the vans as well as showers and even compostable toilets. With the popularity of this lifestyle on the rise, you may be considering starting a build-out van living business. Here are a few of the industrial laser cutting projects you may encounter along the way.
Vent Covers
Van living means having proper ventilation. This is not just for summer living. Winter living also requires ventilation for various needs. For example, if you are using a camping space heater to help generate warmth in your van, you will need ventilation. This is because heating devices can cause issues with carbon monoxide levels. These issues deplete the oxygen and can cause you to pass out or worse. An industrial laser cutting contractor can offer services to cut vent covers that can fit over van windows or fan vents in the roof of the van depending on the build-out.
Cabinet Covers
Securing your cabinets and storage areas is vital when it comes to full-time van living and travel. You need to have covers that can stay locked in place to prevent your items from coming out during travel or breaking. Your laser cutting service can offer you custom cut cabinet covers made from metal and other suitable laser cutting materials. You can have these cabinet covers made to roll down or slide closed and lock in place. If you need ventilation built into these covers, the laser cutting service can handle that as well.
Sliding Protective Doors
One of the issues many people have with van living is security. The back and side doors of a van lock, but strangers can still access the driver's and passenger's seat area. One of the projects you can have completed for your build-out van business is custom cut and manufactured sliding protective doors. These can be made of steel and placed on rails. You can have them cut with some vents or with small viewing areas as well as locks. This gives you a locked protective shield in the front of the van as well as the ability to ventilate the area and have a safe view if you do hear a noise or intruder.
If you are starting your build-out van business, contact your local industrial laser cutting contractor. They can help you with bulk orders and services. They can also discuss your options they offer and how those would work well for your business. If you have questions about making bulk orders, you can ask them during your consultation.
