Queenstown Hair Salon
By Formance
Introducing the Hair Salon on Wheels, built with Formance SIPs! This stunning hair salon offers no compromise on luxury and spaciousness. With its gable roof, this tiny home was created to allow for an ever-mobile hair salon business for the client.
Formance have partnered with Arbol cabins and tiny homes in Wanaka to create beautiful, healthier and more affordable homes. Their latest venture includes a fully functional hair salon that has been constructed using Formance Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs).
The use of SIPs construction allowed for a simple but efficient construction process. The combination of pre-cut wall panels and large components, such as ceiling boards and trusses, mean that this project can be assembled quickly without compromising on quality or performance.
Being on wheels, the design allows the client to quickly move her salon business into their new mobile home without too much fuss or disruption.
Formance SIPs also offer great benefits when compared to traditional building materials. With superior insulation properties and superior strength, they help reduce heating bills while creating an incredibly comfortable living space all year round. In addition, their lightweight design also allows for easier transportation from site to site if required.
The finished product is nothing short of spectacular. The airy, modern interior design lends itself perfectly to a relaxing hair styling experience for customers - no matter where the location may be!
By taking advantage of the Formance SIPs system, this hair salon has been able to keep energy costs low and the indoor experience comfortable year-round, providing clients with an amazing salon experience.

About the
Professional
It’s no secret many New Zealanders live in cold, damp homes. Mould, leaks, and draughts damage health, and 1,600 New Zealanders die every year as a direct result of living in unhealthy, poorly insulated homes. And sadly, it’s not only old houses that cause problems. The reality is that new homes built to current building code are also inadequate because New Zealand’s building standards lag far behind the rest of the developed world.
Traditional methods of construction have cold thermal bridges in the building envelope through their timber framing, and for insulation they only just meet the minimum requirements. They’re also heavily reliant on the installer doing it right and as they slump over time they lose their effectiveness.
Formance Structural Insulated Panels, or SIPs are a high-performing building material for the ultimate energy efficient home. Replacing the timber framing building envelope with Formance panels provides continuous insulation with near zero air leakage, creating a consistently warmer, drier and healthier indoor environment for the long term.
If you’re the kind of person who loves wearing shorts and a t-shirt around home regardless of the season then take a look at upgrading your building envelope to Formance. You will kiss goodbye to high power bills and enjoy four seasons of summer every year.
