Embers are the main way houses catch fire in bushfires. Screens made from steel, bronze or aluminium mesh with small openings help stop embers coming through windows and vents. We make and fit them to suit your windows.
Your BAL rating
Properties in bushfire-prone areas have a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL). It sets which materials are needed. Your builder, certifier or council can confirm yours.
Insects too
Ember mesh keeps insects out as well, so it does double duty.
Fibreglass mesh melts in high heat, which is why metal mesh is used where ember protection matters.
When to book bushfire ember screens
- Your property is in a bushfire-prone area
