SMG Limited

Healthier, More Energy-Efficient Homes & Buildings for New Zealand

At SMG, our mission is simple:
to create warmer, healthier, more energy-efficient homes and buildings by delivering advanced smart thermal insulation solutions that reduce energy waste, enhance comfort, and provide long-term savings.

Our Commitment at SMG

SMG brings over 25 years of professional property, maintenance and performance experience to every project.

Our Smart Thermal Insulation service is backed by:

Structured training and quality control

Full job scheduling and compliance systems

Professional reporting and documentation

Ongoing maintenance and performance support

We don’t just apply a product — we deliver a long-term performance solution for the health, comfort and efficiency of your building.

Key Benefits for Homes & Buildings

Key Benefits for Homes & Buildings
🔋 Significant Energy Savings

By reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, buildings require less heating and cooling, leading to substantial power and gas savings.

🌡️ Stable Indoor Comfort

Eliminates cold walls, hot rooms and temperature instability — creating a consistently comfortable internal environment.

🫁 Healthier Living & Working Conditions

Reduces condensation, dampness and mould formation, improving indoor air quality and supporting better respiratory health.

⚙️ Better Performance of HVAC & Mechanical Systems

Air-conditioning, heat pumps and industrial refrigeration systems operate more efficiently with less strain, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.

🔨 Non-Invasive Upgrade

No opening of walls. No major demolition. No prolonged disruption. The coating is applied directly to existing surfaces.

🏠 Higher Property

Improved energy performance increases long-term asset value, compliance, and market appeal. Performance & Value

Where Smart Thermal Insulation Can Be Applied

Exterior Walls

Creates a thermal barrier on uninsulated  insulated walls, eliminating thermal bridges and dramatically improving overall building performance

Interior Walls

Adds an internal thermal layer where exterior upgrades aren’t possible or where extra insulation performance is needed.

roofs

Prevents roofs from overheating in summer and losing heat in winter. Especially effective on metal, tile, and industrial roofing where heat gain is extreme.

Wood & Timber Surfaces

Protects and insulates decking, cladding, sheds and timber structures while maintaining the natural appearance.

Industrial & Commercial Buildings

Ideal for factories, warehouses, refrigeration facilities, machinery buildings, schools, storage buildings and processing plants where heat control and energy efficiency are critical.

Invisible & Heritage Applications

Translucent and invisible options available for exposed brick, heritage façades or architectural finishes where appearance must be preserved.

Why This Technology Matters in New Zealand

Many older NZ homes and buildings:

Were built with little or no exterior wall insulation

Still experience cold interiors, dampness, mould and high power bills

Struggle to meet the true intent of the Healthy Homes Standards, even when ceiling and underfloor insulation are upgraded

Smart Thermal Insulation directly addresses this missing layer in the thermal envelope — particularly where traditional wall insulation is impractical, disruptive or unaffordable.

For schools, social housing, commercial and industrial buildings, the energy, health and maintenance savings multiply rapidly across large floor areas.

Bauter’s innovative thin-layer thermal insulation system is designed to significantly reduce energy consumption in both heating and cooling. This guide explains the technology, benefits, and real-world performance of Bauter coatings. Learn how buildings can save up to 50% on energy costs while maintaining maximum comfort.

What Smart Thermal Insulation
Does Our coating system forms a high-performance thermal barrier on the surface it’s applied to.
It works by:

Reflecting radiant heat

Reducing heat transfer through surfaces

Stabilising internal temperatures

Minimising condensation and moisture build-up

Reducing the load on heating and cooling systems

The result is a home or building that is:

Cooler in summer

Warmer in winter

Healthier year-round

Cheaper to operate

Easier on mechanical systems and equipment
