Committed to Quality. Dedicated to Service.
Foil Removal
At existing farm accommodation, it is often necessary to remove old foil insulation before we can complete a safe retrofit insulation project. Since 2004, bulk insulation has been the standard for full compliance with the New Zealand Building Code.
We must remove foil (in most cases) due to its electrocution risk. Our experienced team will safely remove outdated foil insulation from existing properties seeking to meet national standards.
Farm Accommodation Ceiling Insulation
We install ceiling insulation for retrofit projects on existing rural properties and in new farm buildings. Ceiling insulation is highly effective at retaining heat in rural properties while reducing annual electricity bills.
Heartland Insulation supplies a superb range of ceiling insulation products for rural properties, including well-known brands like Mammoth, Bradford Gold, Pink Batts, and Knauf Earthwool glasswool.
Garage Door Insulation for Sheds, Workshops, Farms and Rural Properties
Insulation in garage doors stabilises temperatures where there are attached garages, and reduces heat loss in detached garages, sheds, and workshops. Good insulation can lower electricity bills across the property and increase comfort during harsh South Island winters.
We install products ideally suited for garage door insulation, such as Bradford Gold, Pink Batts, Mammoth, and Knauf Earthwool glasswool.
Underfloor Insulation for Farm Accommodation
Underfloor insulation in farm accommodation promotes heat retention and temperature stability year-round while reducing electricity bills over the long term.
In addition, our underfloor insulation further protects the property’s floorboards from moisture absorption — a significant advantage in rural settings. Our underfloor insulation products, including rolls, batts, and quilts, are manufactured by Mammoth, Bradford Gold, Pink Batts, and Knauf Earthwool.
We also offer durable and highly effective Mammoth or Premier R1.5–R2.0 underfloor insulation, which is particularly good for new floors and more demanding environments.
