Whether you use Structural Insulated Panels or a 140mm timber frame construction with a higher R-Value, don’t forget your house will be airtight and you create condensation on the inside. We even see it on standard builds, that people complain about the moisture on their windows or damp curtains etc. So this issue very common and you only get rid of it with a good quality Ventilation System. If someone tells you, you won’t need it, you save on the wrong angle of your project. Rather install a cheaper kitchen or floor, because that’s what you can change, but a ventilation system is easier to install during your build.
Our team from CoolSpaces has made the decision to choose a good quality system and we are working with “The Heating Company” in Auckland, who has different systems to choose from.

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a high-performance building system for residential and light commercial construction. The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). SIPs are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. The result is a building […]

I am sitting on my chair at the kitchen table and starring at the window, which was covered with ice on the inside of our first rental property in Fernhill/New Zealand.

Modern use of the term “sustainability” is broad and difficult to define precisely. Originally, “sustainability” meant making only such use of natural, renewable resources that people can continue to […]
We dream about homes from when we are quite small. The door, the path, the garden, perhaps the kitchen – then it gets a little vague. As adults it gains structure and solidity – fueled by what we watch and read. We want light. We want warmth. We want that sink we saw on an […]

If I asked you what sectors small home builders could learn from – car manufacturing probably wouldn’t spring to mind. But here’s the thing. Imagine, for a second, if every car was built, individually, from scratch. Think of the massive waste in labour and materials and transport.The time.The environmental footprint.And the huge cost! Car manufactures, […]
