Insulate your new-build home

Building a new home is exciting - remember you call the shots so let the builder or designer know what you want. Consider options such as insulating all internal walls for greater privacy or insulating the garage so it could be a games room or office in the future.


Insulating your home is the single most effective measure you can take to keep your home warm and to save money on energy bills.
Insulation will also help protect your family’s health. Damp and moist conditions trigger asthma, bronchitis and other illnesses. New Zealand has the second highest rate of asthma in the world and our death rate in winter is also very high by world standards.
By protecting your home against the heat, cold and damp, insulation will measurably increase the quality of life inside your home.
