Ensure Compliance with Healthy Home Standards with Trade Track’s Insulation Services
Insulation is a critical component of the Healthy Homes Standards, designed to ensure rental properties in New Zealand provide warm, dry, and healthy living environments. Since 1 July 2019, it has been compulsory for all rental homes to have compliant ceiling and underfloor insulation installed, where it is reasonably practicable to do so.
At Trade Track, we specialize in providing insulation solutions that meet these requirements, helping property owners and landlords stay compliant while improving the quality of life for tenants.
Healthy Homes Standards Requirements
The Healthy Homes Standards outline specific criteria for insulation:
Ceiling Insulation: Insulation installed before 1 July 2016 must have a minimum thickness of 120mm and an R-value of at least 2.9. Older insulation that does not meet these standards must be replaced or topped up.
Underfloor Insulation: A minimum R-value of 1.3 is required for underfloor insulation in rental properties.
The R-value measures the insulation’s ability to resist heat flow, with higher values indicating better thermal performance. Meeting these standards is not only a legal requirement but also a step towards creating energy-efficient homes that reduce heating costs and enhance tenant comfort.
