We cater to all Bushfire Attack Levels (BAL), from BAL-LOW to BAL-FZ, ensuring you receive the appropriate protection for your home or business with the added benefit of bushfire safety solutions like our bushfire shutters.
Why Your Home Or Business Need Bushfire-Rated Windows
Living in a bushfire-prone area necessitates robust measures to protect your home or business. According to AS3959 – The Australian Bushfire Standards - all openings in homes and businesses located in bushfire-prone zones require protection based on their Bushfire Attack Level. Bushfire-rated windows are a trusted choice, offering strong, reliable protection across all BAL levels. Greene Fire’s innovative glazing systems along with bushfire shutters, provide a self-reliant solution that demands minimal maintenance, ensuring your peace of mind in the face of potential bushfire threats to your home or business.
Understanding Bushfire Protection Measures
Bushfire protection measures are critical for safety in high-risk areas. Building requirements vary based on your Bushfire Attack Level (BAL), which is determined by:
- Type of vegetation surrounding your property
- Slope of vegetation
- Fire Danger Index (FDI)
- Distance of vegetation from your home
Each BAL level has distinct requirements to meet safety standards, ensuring comprehensive protection. Incorporating bushfire protection systems such as bushfire shutters enhances the defence of your home and business.
How Our Bushfire Windows Work
Greene Fire’s bushfire-rated window system features durable aluminium frames designed to withstand harsh conditions. Our frames are made from sustainable materials, resistant to corrosion, cracking and warping. Each window is filled with a fire-resistant filler that prevents frame failure and glass shattering during extreme heat. We use Contraflam® glass, which contains a specialised interlayer that becomes opaque in the presence of fire, acting as a heat shield. This feature helps to reduce radiant heat and provides enhanced protection for homes and businesses during a bushfire, especially when combined with bushfire shutters.
Initially the fire causes the glass pane that is towards the fire-side to break due to the stress on the glass.
The interlayer, which is based on nanotechnology, begins to form an opaque insulating protective layer.
In the Event of a Fire:
- 1. The glass pane closest to the fire breaks due to thermal stress.
- 2. The nanotechnology-based interlayer forms an insulating layer, protecting against further heat damage.
