New Build Insulation FAQs
Q: Do I need insulation in a new build?
A: Yes. NZ Building Code requires minimum R-values for ceilings, walls, and floors. Proper insulation ensures year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
Q: What’s the best insulation for new homes?
A: It depends on your goals. For thermal performance, glasswool and polyester are excellent. For sustainability, wool and recycled materials shine.
Q: Can insulation reduce noise between rooms?
A: Yes. Acoustic insulation helps reduce sound transfer through walls and floors.
Q: What is an R-value?
A: R-value measures thermal resistance. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation. NZ standards vary by region.
Q: Will insulation increase construction costs?
A: Slightly—but it pays off in lower energy bills and better resale value. Higher R-values may require thicker walls or advanced joinery.
