We want to give you some seriously good options.
Check out some of our re-defining partners.

Our homes are packed with all kinds of clever sustainable thinking thanks to other like minded re-definers that we partner with. We are proud to work with suppliers who think outside the box, giving you choices to invest in products that truly make a difference. We don’t just offer any old products, rather, guided by our ecoValues, we source products and suppliers who are a good fit for us, with you in mind. We are confident that our suppliers' products: are non toxic; don't contain recycled products; have a great product lifespan; reduce our carbon footprint. Putting the lens over these questions enables us to create spaces that align with what is important to us, and in turn important to you.

FLOORING

NZ Wool carpets from Bremworth

We love the new Bremworth story. Returning to pure wool carpet production only and saying goodbye to plastic fibres. We salute your courageous stand and are proud to align ourselves with you. Knowing our clients are getting the very best New Zealand made wool carpet is important to us.

We all know plastic is a global problem and synthetic carpet fibres are made from plastic. That means the average Kiwi home with synthetic carpet is similar to having 22,000 plastic bags on the floor (by weight). Bremworth have drawn a line in the sand and ceased production in favour of wool.

TIMBER

Abodo's carefully crafted timber cladding with a lasting beauty

Abodo timbers are sustainably grown in New Zealand forests, whose rich soils and high annual rainfall ensure rapid growth. With a total forested area of 1.8 million hectares (Forest Owners Assn, 2018/19), New Zealand’s high yielding Radiata Pine plantations are the perfect source for raw material. They choose only the highest quality logs, which are then sawn in close proximity to the plantation. This means that transport related emissions are minimised and operational efficiencies are maximised.

ELECTRICAL
