Warm on Waiheke
By Formance
It's always a great feeling for the team to hear that Formance helps make our customers' homes warmer, drier, more comfortable and less expensive to run. Check out this finished Waiheke Luxury home www.pacificescape.co.nz
This is a fabulous, architecturally designed holiday home, sitting majestically in an elevated position just outside Oneroa, with views across the island and out to sea. It's only a few minutes' drive from Onetangi and Palm beaches and a short walk to Little Oneroa.
Beautifully furnished and designed with entertaining in mind, this is not just a relaxing and welcoming home, it’s also extremely stylish. The large open plan kitchen, dining and living areas have a gabled ceiling and large sliders that open onto decks on both sides of the house, giving a great sense of space - and options no matter what the Waiheke weather brings. The designer kitchen and butler's pantry make catering easy and enjoyable. Plus both the indoor and outdoor tables can seat at least ten.
Consistent Temperature from room to room.
A Formance Energy Efficient Home means that there's no such thing as walking down the other end of the house and it's colder. The temperature is constant, consistent and just a comfortable living environment.
A warmer, drier home isn't only healthier to live in, but you save on energy use every day.
What do Formance Panels do in terms of energy-efficiency?
Making the change from sticks to SIPs alone can see your energy use to at least half. We've done thermal modeling on spaces and come back with results that using Formance on your home can dramatically reduce your power bill. Most homeowners say they're paying at least half of what their old home's powerbill was.

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.
