Who we are?

IAONZ exists to support a stronger, more trusted insulation industry in New Zealand. We advocate for quality across the sector and promote better understanding of how product choice, installation practice, and training all contribute to building performance.
Our role is broader than insulation alone. We also support the wider goals of energy efficiency, healthier homes and buildings, and improved confidence in how insulation performs in practice.

What we stand for: Quality is built on 3 three essentials - our triangle
Quality Product
Confidence starts with products that are fit for purpose, properly represented, and used in the right application.
Quality Installation
Even a good product can underperform if it is poorly installed. Good installation practice is essential to building performance.
Quality Training
Capability matters. Training helps lift consistency, understanding, and practical performance across the industry.
Why it matters - Better practice leads to better outcomes
Insulation influences comfort, energy use, and the day-to-day performance of a building. That is why quality matters.
Good outcomes depend on more than product selection alone. They also depend on correct installation, capable people, and industry practices that support confidence in what is supplied and installed. When these elements come together, the result is better-performing buildings, stronger compliance confidence, and better value for building owners and occupants.
Industry advocacy
We represent the interests of the insulation sector and contribute to industry conversations that affect quality, compliance, and building performance.
Training and capability
We support practical learning and better understanding of insulation standards, installation expectations, and field realities.
Quality improvement
We encourage good practice, stronger systems, and practical approaches that help lift consistency across the market.
Energy efficiency leadership
We support the role insulation plays in healthier, warmer, more energy-efficient homes and buildings.
