In high-performance housing, insulation provides the foundation for comfort, but its effectiveness is closely linked to appropriate ventilation strategies that manage moisture and maintain indoor air quality.

A whole-of-home approach to ventilation and climate control for healthier, more resilient residential design.

A major new residential precinct in Auckland has commenced with two eye-catching apartment buildings that have advanced window features for maximum, all year-round thermal comfort for residents.

Vynco's stylish, made-to-match bathroom fans provide effective ventilation in both through-wall and through-roof configurations.

A self-adhered, cost-competitive wall membrane that simplifies installation while maintaining high levels of air and moisture control.

Continuous extraction systems support healthier indoor environment quality in increasingly airtight housing.

Edge temperatures matter. Learn how thermally broken frames and warm edge spacers close the performance gap and keep interiors drier and more comfortable when specifying more than H1 code-minimum windows and doors.

Mammoth polyester insulation delivers an unrivalled fit and superior thermal performance, backed by a free H1 compliance service using the Modelling Method (VM1).

Moisture and condensation are common concerns in modern homes, especially as buildings become more airtight and energy efficient. There’s a perception in New Zealand that rigid insulation may trap moisture inside wall systems and increase mould risk, but research suggests the reality is very different. 

A rigid air barrier system that helps reduce condensation risk, stabilise indoor temperatures, and support healthier air quality across residential projects.

New Zealand's summers seem to be getting muggier. Sto NZ’s StoCalce Functio plaster system offers a permanent, passive solution that naturally regulates indoor humidity.

At Te Pou Ō Mata Au - Clutha District War Memorial & Community Centre, Metro Xcel Low E double glazed units ensure year-round comfort through reduced solar heat gain and improved insulation, aligning with the project’s sustainability goals and South Otago’s climate requirements.

Warmup underfloor heating transforms the environment by improving air quality, controlling moisture, and creating a more consistent indoor climate, making it a more comfortable place to live.
