NZ Foam insulation for your new home

Uneven temperatures, persistent drafts, and rising energy costs are often signs of underperforming insulation. Traditional insulation systems can leave gaps and unsealed areas throughout the home, allowing heat to escape in winter and unwanted heat to enter during summer.

NZ Foam Insulation expands to fill hard-to-reach spaces and create a continuous air seal within the building envelope. Reducing uncontrolled airflow and improving thermal efficiency, it helps maintain a more consistent indoor temperature throughout the year.

The result is a home that stays warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and more energy efficient in every season — with reduced heat loss, lower strain on heating and cooling systems, and improved overall comfort.

1

Superior energy efficiency

NZ Foam creates a continuous thermal envelope that seals gaps, cracks, and hard-to-insulate areas throughout the building. By reducing unwanted heat transfer and air leakage, it helps lower heating and cooling demands, improve energy efficiency, and create a more comfortable indoor environment all year round.

Airtight and moisture control

An effective building envelope is about more than insulation. NZ Foam helps control airflow and moisture movement by sealing penetrations, junctions, and difficult transitions. This reduces draughts and helps protect the long-term durability of the building.
3

Year-round comfort

Temperature fluctuations can make buildings uncomfortable and expensive to operate. NZ Foam helps maintain more consistent indoor temperatures from room to room and season to season, reducing cold spots in winter, excessive heat gain in summer, and the impact of external weather conditions.

Performance that lasts

NZ Foam is designed to deliver reliable insulation performance for the life of the building. It won't sag, settle, slump, or leave gaps over time, helping ensure the thermal performance achieved on day one continues for decades to come. Backed by a transferable lifetime warranty, it provides confidence long after construction is complete.

Strength, durability and noise reduction

NZ Foam does more than insulate. It can contribute additional rigidity to walls and roof structures while helping reduce the transmission of external noise. The result is a stronger, quieter, and more resilient building that performs better in everyday living and working environments.

Residential FAQs

What are the benefits of spray foam insulation compared with fibreglass, wool and rigid panel insulation?

Spray foam insulation combines thermal insulation and air sealing in one application. It expands around framing, services and difficult junctions, helping reduce gaps, draughts and uncontrolled heat loss. Fibreglass, wool and rigid-panel insulation products can also perform well, but their effectiveness depends heavily on precise cutting, fitting and installation.

Does spray foam insulation meet the New Zealand H1 Building Code?

Spray foam can form part of an H1-compliant building design when it is correctly specified and installed. Compliance is based on the construction R-value of the complete wall, roof or floor assembly rather than the insulation product alone. The project designer must confirm the required R-values and compliance pathway for the building and climate zone.

Is spray foam insulation safe, and can it cause moisture problems?

Professionally specified and installed spray foam is suitable for residential buildings. Closed-cell spray foam helps control air and moisture movement, but the insulation, ventilation and wider building envelope must be designed together. Installation should be completed by trained applicators in accordance with the product documentation, safety requirements and building design.

How long does spray foam insulation last?

Spray foam is designed to maintain its position and thermal performance over the long term. It does not rely on friction to remain in place and will not slump or settle in the same way some loosely fitted insulation products can. NZ Foam supports qualifying installations with a transferable 50-year limited lifetime product warranty.

Where can spray foam insulation be used in a home?

Spray foam can be used in ceilings, external and internal walls, underfloor areas, mid-floors, masonry construction and skillion roofs. It adheres to common building surfaces, including timber, concrete and steel. Suitability depends on access and the building design.

Can spray foam insulation be used under floors?

Yes. Spray foam can be applied directly beneath suitable floors to create a secure insulation and air-sealing layer. Because it adheres to the substrate, it does not require supporting straps or fittings to hold individual insulation pieces in place. Adequate underfloor access is required for safe professional installation.

Does spray foam insulation add strength or reduce noise?

Closed-cell spray foam can add rigidity to some wall and roof assemblies, although it is not a replacement for structural framing or engineering. Spray foam can also help reduce outside noise and sound movement through gaps. The final acoustic performance depends on the complete wall, ceiling or floor system.

NZ Foam's insulation delivers outstanding thermal efficiency while supporting a healthier environment.
