Zehnder now do a mechanical heat recovery system that fits into your ceiling cavity with filters accessed through a small access hatch in the ceiling. This negates the issue of having enough cupboard space to house a traditional central unit. They are still quiet and work the same way. Space is still needed for the ducting to connect to the central unit, something your designer will ensure is allowed for.

The master bathroom. Part of our recently completed renovation in Rangiora for previous clients. We had completed a large renovation on the other half of this house and 10 years later the owners came back and asked us to do the other half. Structural insulated panels (SIPs) were also used for the extension.

How do building material choices affect health? Well as my latest course is affirming - building to passive house principles can mitigate many factors related to material choices. However, there are still considerations that could be made if you have concerns, particularly for those with environmental sensitivities and most definitely if you are not building to passive house principles.
If you want to have a chat about this when you build with us we can certainly share our knowledge with you 🙂

Great result in the pre-line Air Tightness Test of our Leeston home at 0.28 air changes/hour. The lift and slide sliding doors have good airtight seals when shut.
A certified passive house requires 0.6 ac/hr and most homes in NZ sit between 4 and 10 ac/hr, meaning a lot of uncontrolled air movement, moisture and allergens.

Tilt and turn uPVC windows. Secure and non obtrusive, plus do not pose a hazard or obstruct. Here bars have been added to provide a more colonial look.

Check out these `lift and slide` uPVC sliders from NK in our latest high performance home. Where sliding doors are preferable for design or practicality, the lift and slide option provides superior air tightness to more conventional sliding options. See how they move and create a much better seal when the handle locks the door. These ones are also easy to slide with Brent doing so with one finger. #energyefficienthome #highperformancehome #superhomemovement

Latest Blog - A Story board of the key initial stages in the creation of a high performance home - this case study is in Leeston, the home of our upcoming mid build.
A mid build event is the ultimate time to see and feel the difference in a home built to high performance principles.....but what happened before the mid build?
A link to the mid build registration can be found at the end of the article.

These bricks are laid one on top of each other. The straight lines matching the straight lines of the architectural profiled steel cladding. However, the roughness and non uniform colouring adds texture and interest to a steel clad home.
