Lockwood’s tightly sandwiched wall system minimises heat loss due to thermal conductivity. The exterior board offers an R-Value of 2.1 which is achieved consistently throughout the board. There are no gaps due to poorly installed insulation or hard-to reach areas.

Thermally broken joinery has a low conductivity material creating a break between the interior and exterior aluminium frame. Thermally broken frames with high-performance double glazing have much better thermal performance than traditional double-glazed joinery.

Our construction system provides flexibility and durability. The tongue and groove boards are able to move and absorb energy while the home retains structural integrity.
Lockwood homes are built from radiata pine which is a locally and sustainably sourced solid wood and is a natural, renewable, biodegradable product. Wood is the earth’s most renewable raw material so building with it is vital in the fight against climate change. The more solid wood we use, the more carbon that is stored. The more trees that are grown, the more oxygen is released into the atmosphere, and the better off our world will be. Lockwood homes are durable, strong, ventilated, warm and dry – so they create healthy living environments for you and your family, for good.

Proudly manufactured in Rotorua, our team craft quality, warm, dry and healthy homes for New Zealanders.
