The threat of bushfires is a reality for most Sydney homes and is one of the first priorities that need to be considered when building or renovating. With this in mind, Airlite has developed – and extensively tested – a premium range of bushfire certified windows and doors certified to meet Australian standards and residential building practices. Available in cedar, aluminium and merbau, the range eliminates the need for bulky shutters, fire curtains or screens on fixed glazing.
Airlite products can cater for all five bushfire hazard levels, known as Bushfire Attack Levels (BALs).
- BAL 12.5: Low
- BAL 19: Moderate
- BAL 29: High
- BAL 40: Very high
- BAL FZ: Flame zone
The first step is to determine your home’s BAL rating, and any special requirements for building in your area. We ask you consult your local council, government, or local fire authority for this information. After you know your BAL rating and other building requirements, talk to your local Airlite representative about your window and door options and what we can do to help protect your home from the threat of bushfires.
