The general installation practices are consistent with New Zealand however. Remember safety first! Ensure you follow all product health & safety  guidelines.

Think your up to the challenge? Contact us for supply only of the insulation of your choice, or if you need any guidance. Want to know what products to use? Click on our products tab for an overview. As a basic rule, the R-Value (a general rating of how effective the insulation is) minimums are R3.2 in the ceiling and R1.4 in the underfloor for the north Island excluding Taupo. If your taking the time to do it yourself we recommend going above the R-value minimums to at least an R4.0 in the ceiling and an R1.8 in the floor.
