Systems we specify
Formance panels combine superior insulation with near-zero air leakage to maximise the performance of the building envelope and allow HVAC systems to operate more effectively, a great way to design and build your new home.
The EcoPanel structural insulated wall system is a complete prefabricated wall system, engineered and crafted by German master carpenters in controlled factory conditions, right here in New Zealand.
For buildings with a more linear facade, or where the design requires a simpler solution, Kingspan's wall-panel technology ensures exceptionally fast install times and effective single-component solutions without compromising a high-end aesthetic finish.
The Frame & Truss Manufacturers Association of New Zealand is a proactive group dedicated to ensuring New Zealand consistently gets the very best quality in finished product.
Building with an exposed timber frame offers a bespoke, hand-crafted home with a beauty many people crave, magnificent vaulted ceilings and open-plan living for a light, spacious feel, or warm, cosy spaces to escape to.
Good questions
Structural insulated panels combine the frame and the insulation in one factory-made panel, so the wall goes up with near-zero air leakage already built in. It is a fast, precise way to get a high-performance envelope, rather than assembling insulation into a frame on site.
Yes, Formance is one of our standard structural insulated panel systems, and it is the envelope behind homes like Horton Road and The Black House.
Yes. Conventional pre-nail frame and truss still suits plenty of designs and budgets, and we also build genuine exposed-timber structural frames through Timberworks when a design calls for that hand-crafted, vaulted-ceiling feel.
For airtightness and insulation, yes: the performance is built into the panel rather than added afterwards. Conventional framing can still perform well, but it needs more insulation, taping and care on site to get close to the same result.
Yes. Timberworks structural and exposed timber framing gives a bespoke, hand-crafted look, with vaulted ceilings and open-plan living where the frame itself becomes part of the interior.
