The Building Act 2004 bans the installation
and/or repair of foil insulation in residential
buildings with existing electrical installations.
Anyone doing so may be liable to a fine of up to
$200,000. Foil insulation which is in
reasonable condition does not need to be
replaced. Existing foil installation which is
damaged (e.g. torn, foil hanging down off the
floor joists or is no longer reflective), must be
replaced with insulation which meets legal
requirements.
