About IAONZ


The primary role of the IAONZ is:

  • Create an agreed standard of quality for product and installation in accordance with the NZ Building Code and AS/NZ Standards.
  • Training installers and ensuring quality delivery for their customers
  • Work with Government and Industry to develop the industry

IAONZ Background

  • IAONZ was set up in 2009 to provide the industry with an advocate for quality of installation, training and product, especially for the Government’s Warm-Up New Zealand retrofit programme.
  • IAONZ now represents a far wider range of organisations than those just involved in the retrofit insulation market.
  • We are very concerned about ensuring our members install insulation correctly as it has a major impact on the house. Insulation may only be 5% of the cost but it has a huge impact on the comfort of a home. 
  • IAONZ has members the full length of New Zealand – there are approx. 4,000 people working for our members
  • Since 2009 IAONZ has trained over 2,000 insulation installers through our training courses.
