Question:

Which of the two products provides the best insulation? Should either of these be installed directly over the bare painted floor, after removing the factory installed flimsy floor liner? Which one would be best with wire racks, like Metro styles?

Expert Reply:

The difference between the # VRNV11 and # VTNV11 that you referenced is that the # VTNV11 is made of thermoplastic whereas the # VRNV11 is made of carpet.

The thermoplastic liner is a heavier, denser mat at 32 lbs when compared to the carpet version that is 18 lbs so it would be a better insulator so I would recommend it for you. Either would also fit with the factory floor liner removed and would work equally well with wire racks.
