Fire Protection for homes in Bushfire Zones

Following the Victorian bushfire tragedy, a new residential building standard has been introduced. Every new home built or renovated must undergo a BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) assessment as part of the application for a building permit. The site BAL assessment determines the construction methods that must be used to better protect properties from the threat of bushfires. The BAL takes into consideration a number of factors including the Fire Danger Index, the slope of the land, types of surrounding vegetation and its proximity to any building. A building surveyor will use AS3959 to check compliance with the construction requirements of the standard. Bradford supply Glasswool, Rockwool , Membranes & ventilation products to comply with these standards. Key product ranges include the following, please contact Bradford for further details.
