Our Services
Pilkington Insulation is a premier, long-established home insulation specialist serving the Auckland and Northland regions of New Zealand. Backed by decades of combined trade experience, the Kiwi-owned company focuses heavily on retrofitting existing properties. They specialise in transforming older, damp, or under-insulated houses into modern, energy-efficient, dry, and healthy living environments. Recognising that many older New Zealand homes suffer from incomplete thermal envelopes—often having ceiling insulation but entirely uninsulated walls—
Pilkington Insulation services deliver a comprehensive array of premium residential and commercial insulation solutions. Their targeted services fully cover a property from the roof down to the subfloor.
Retrofit Cavity CosyWall Insulation
One of the core flagship product offered by Pilkington Insulation services is their CosyWall insulation via injected cavity technology. Many classic mid-century New Zealand homes feature completely empty internal wall cavities that act as massive escape routes for heat. Pilkington Insulation addresses this by using specialised, high-performance CosyWall Insulation. This product is carefully injected directly into the wall framing spaces with minimal disruption to the existing cladding or internal linings. Beyond its outstanding thermal resistance, which blocks winter heat loss and summer heat gain, this dry glasswool material also provides excellent acoustic soundproofing. This significantly lowers external street noise and environmental disturbances.
Ceiling and Underfloor Solutions
The company also remedies poor roof insulation through specialised Loft Ceiling Insulation services. Using premium blown-in glasswool, segment, and blanket systems, they can efficiently insulate standard ceiling spaces as well as highly restrictive, difficult-access ceilings where traditional product rolls cannot easily fit. To complete the house’s thermal boundaries, they install robust Warmafloor underfloor systems. This under-house barrier prevents rising cold drafts from penetrating timber flooring, ensuring stable indoor temperatures.
Healthy Homes Standards Compliance
For property investors, landlords, and property managers across the upper North Island, the company is a trusted partner for regional rental compliance. They provide detailed, professional Healthy Homes assessments specifically tailored to meet rigorous New Zealand government tenancy regulations. Their fully trained specialists carefully survey rental properties to check if existing ceiling and underfloor insulation levels meet current minimum R-value standards. They also inspect subfloors for required ground moisture barriers. If a rental property fails to meet compliance, the company delivers transparent quotes and completes necessary upgrades efficiently. They issue certified documentation that protects landlords from legal penalties and guarantees a healthier home for tenants.
Ground Vapour Barriers
Depending on the structural layout of your house, you may also need a ground vapour barrier (also known as a moisture barrier) in order to bring your home up to Healthy Homes Standards.
Ground Vapour Barriers prevent moisture from evaporating from the soil beneath your house and affecting your home’s structure and living space. Even relatively dry soil patches will give off elements of moisture.
Pilkington Insulation can install a heavy-duty polythene sheet under your home to bring it up to Healthy Homes Standards and prevent moisture from the soil transferring into your home’s structure and living space.
Free Assessments and Regional Service
Operating structurally from a hub in Mangawhai, the footprint of Pilkington Insulation services extend widely across Auckland, the North Shore, Rodney, Kaipara, Whangarei, and the Far North. To make the process as straightforward as possible for homeowners, the company is usually able to offer a completely free, no-obligation on-site insulation assessment (location dependent). During this visit, their experienced technicians inspect the building envelope, identify major thermal leaks, and map out a tailored solution. By focusing on meticulous attention to detail, trade-grade certified materials, and absolute transparency, the company helps Auckland and Northland homeowners lower winter energy bills, eliminate interior dampness, and enjoy a vastly healthier indoor climate.
