With the removal of the Schedule Method, designers and builders are now designing to performance, not just individual R-values. That means calculation and modelling methods are becoming the norm — and suppliers are playing a bigger role in helping teams get it right.

In our latest EBOSS article, we look at how our technical support and product knowledge can make H1 compliance clearer and more achievable.

Finishing up in Whangārei and Auckland last week — and after visiting eight locations across the country, that’s a wrap on the 2025 Viking Roofspec Quiz Series! 🎉

This year, each winning team chose a charity for us to donate to, and thanks to their picks, we’ve proudly supported Bellyful, Mental Health Foundation, Child Cancer Foundation, Hone Hato St John, Ronald McDonald House Charities NZ, and the Auckland City Mission.

A huge shoutout to Tim from Clue HQ Quiz Nights NZ, our quizmaster extraordinaire, for keeping the energy high and the questions fun every step of the way.

And of course, a massive thank you to everyone who joined us — your enthusiasm, banter, and competitive spirit made this year’s series one to remember. ⚔️🛡️

See you all again in 2026!

Last week was a big one on our Quiz Series tour! It was so action-packed we needed a long weekend (and then some) just to recover.

Quiz Master Tim nearly had to swim the Cook Strait to make it from Wellington to Christchurch — and then had to jump in with our Southern lads for a road trip to Queenstown. Luckily, a classic Fairlie pie stop made it all worthwhile 🥧

Huge congratulations to our winners:
🏆 Esterno Ltd (Wellington), donating to the Mental Health Foundation
🏆 Engenium Ltd (Christchurch), supporting Hato Hone St John
🏆 AJ Saville Ltd (Queenstown), choosing Ronald McDonald House Charities NZ

We're having a week off before closing out the series in Whangarei and Auckland!

When a 105-unit apartment complex on Khyber Pass started leaking, a full roof replacement wasn’t the answer. Instead, we overlaid the existing metal roof with a Viking WarmRoof System — delivering a watertight, energy-efficient solution with minimal disruption to residents. 🙌

A clever fix for when ":starting over" isn’t an option.

Last week we kicked off our 2025 Viking Roofspec x Clue HQ Quiz Nights NZ Quiz Series with events in Tauranga and Hamilton!

Instead of traditional prizes, this year we've opt to support a range of New Zealand charities, with the winning team at each event getting to choose who they'd like us to donate to.

Congratulations to Creative Space Architecture who won the Tauranga event, selecting Bellyful, and Craft Homes Ltd who was the winning team in Hamilton - choosing the Mental Health Foundation NZ as their charities of choice.

Thank you to all those who came along. Good fun was had by all!

New Plymouth your next!

Costly construction flaws can be buried out of sight. Viking FleeceTank, an underslab tanking membrane locks moisture out before it becomes a problem.

👉 Read the full article and protect your next project:

If not waterproofed properly, infiltrations into foundations involve expensive structural restoration works, very often of an invasive and sometimes even destructive nature, therefore it is critical the entire building envelope is encapsulated and watertight.
