The Third Little Pig...Built a House Up


A Christchurch earthquake residential rebuild of a 201 sqm home in Somerfield utilising THECA panels.


How was this project implemented?

Full pro clima weathertightness and airtightness system including:

Additional elements:

  • UPVC Windows, centrally located in the frame for added performance

  • Mechanical Heat Recovery (MHRV) System

  • Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) Floor

  • Blown Insulation


WINCON - Installation Verification Device

Quality control of airtightness can also be aided with the pro clima WINCON. The simple and easy WINCON system places pressure on the building and reveals air leaks. Short of a fully calibrated Blower Door system, the WINCON can aid you in your quest for building performance.

Pro Clima NZ Ltd supplies the WINCON fan free of charge.

WINCON Guide


Blower Door

A blower Door System can be used simply to perform quality control and find air leaks in a building envelope.

But to measure precisely HOW MUCH air leakage a building has takes some knowledge and training.

ATTMA-registered testers have undergone rigorous training and competence evaluation and are committed to advancing the industry as a whole. Find one near you.
