NVC Wall Framing Kit — Sprinter 144 (2019–current)

A complete, CNC-precision wood framing system that hooks into your van's factory structure — built to insulate better and rust less than the metal-furring and screw-it-to-the-ribs methods it replaces.

Noke Van Co's Wall Framing Kit turns a bare Sprinter 144 High Roof cargo van into a fully framed shell ready for insulation, wall panels, and ceiling — without the thermal bridging and drilled-out sheet metal that plague traditional builds. Every wall, ceiling, and headliner part is CNC-cut to interlock in multiple directions, so the whole kit assembles like a kit of parts and installs in roughly 10 hours.

Built around a continuous thermal break

The entire framing structure is wood, not metal. Wood conducts heat far more slowly than steel, so the kit acts as a continuous thermal break between the cold outer skin of the van and your finished interior. Metal furring strips and steel battens — the common alternative — bolt cold straight through to your wall panels, creating thermal bridges where heat escapes and condensation collects. By framing in wood that hooks onto the van's existing structure, you keep the cab warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and dramatically cut the cold spots where moisture loves to form.

Engineered for almost zero metal penetrations

This is what sets the kit apart. The framing was designed to rest on the bare van floor and hook directly into the van's factory wall structure up high and down low near each optional wall L-track mounting support, bonded in place with construction adhesive at each wood-to-metal contact point. That means there aren't rows of self-tapping screws drilled through your van's body.  The full archway structure transfers the loads of the build into the van's upper wall structure and down to the floor.

It's worth being clear about where the few fasteners go. In a full installation, only 7 fasteners ever touch the van — threading into the van's interior metal framing (the structural roof ribs), near the sliding door and headliner. None of them penetrate the body — the exterior sheet metal and weatherproof outer skin are left completely untouched. Compare that to conventional builds, which put dozens of screws through the ribs and, all too often, straight through the body itself.

Why it matters: every hole drilled into the van is a potential rust site, and every hole through the body is the worst kind. Moisture inside the wall cavity finds bare, drilled edges and starts corrosion that you'll never see until it's a problem. By hooking into the factory structure and bonding with adhesive instead of drilling, this kit keeps the body sealed and moisture away from exposed steel — protecting your van for the long haul.

Wiring routed through the framing chases — no metal on your wires

Every vertical pillar and the ceiling ribs include built-in wire-routing chases with pre-drilled zip-tie holes, so power runs to every wall and ceiling utility through the wood framing instead of through the van's metal structure. That matters for more than convenience: when wiring is run through the factory steel, the sharp metal edges saw at the insulation with every mile of vibration and every rough road until they cut through and short. Routing through the framing chases means there is no metal rubbing on your wiring — your electrical system is protected for the life of the build, and you avoid drilling extra holes just to pass wire through.

Designed to work with the rest of your build

• Interior framed width of roughly 68.5" at the floor, with consistent wall geometry front to back.  The curves of the van are simplified to flat, known angles on the walls and ceilings, simplifying cabinet building.  See the installation manual for interior framing dimensions.
• Optional L-track mounting — pre-drilled for any ¼"-bolt L-track at whole-inch hole spacing, with threaded inserts for wall and ceiling gear tracks.  The ceiling and upper wall L-track centerlines are each 12.5" from the interior finished wall panel corner, for easy installation of pre-fabricated cabinets.  See the installation manual for all L-track position dimensions.  Threaded inserts sold separately.
• Two roof-appliance boxes included for fans or AC units using a standard 14"x14" cutout, with scribed cut lines on the ceiling ribs
• Optional window-box covers to close off any window cavity to a flat wall when no window or flare is installed.  When windows or flares are present, the window box structure is the perfect base for mounting finishing panels.
• Designed to pair with the GoCode Mercedes Sprinter Full Interior Trim Kit (installed before or after framing)
