H1 Done. We’ve got your insulation solutions covered. 

Research shows that damp, mouldy, poorly ventilated homes affect the respiratory health of many New Zealanders.

To help address these issues, MBIE has introduced the new 5th edition of H1/AS1 and H1/VM1 for housing and H1/AS2 or H1/VM2 for buildings greater than 300 m². This means significantly more insulation will be needed in the ceiling, walls and floors of new buildings from 1 May 2023.
